Portrait Retouch

  1. I love the simplicity of this work, the black and white aesthetic make this more dream like and I think it works better then if you had color In the photo.

  2. I like how simple this looks and would wish for the gif to roll continuously.

  3. It is such a creative GIF, I really like the black and white, it gives it a dramatic effect.

  4. I like the concept of this, but because it's so simple I think you could have worked on the mask further, especially using the functions in the select and mask tool around the hair.

  5. I think that the concept is dope but it just needs to be pushed a little more with the pose. It's not really clear what it is that you're doing in the sky.

  6. I love how you turned the image into a black and white portrait. I would like to see one more element incorporated into the background, maybe you holding balloons that are lifting you through the sky. It could possibly be a chance to add a hint of color into the image.

  7. I like this concept, however, I would move the figure further up in the frame. I feel like it would give more of a sense of falling/jumping in the air.

  8. The desaturation of the image in black and white is done nicely. The figure should be moved up slightly, as the foot being cropped out at the bottom is awkward and pulls to much attention away from the rest of the piece. I think more photo manipulation could have been done to the person in order to better incorporate their presence with the clouds. Masking out parts of the body to be behind some clouds would have been a good start.

  9. Your bottom lef . . . right? . . . the foot on the left of the image, that foot is at an angle that in the final composition betrays that you're model was standing on a surface in the original photo. Using a puppet mesh or a mesh warp might correct the asset you already have, but my recommendation would be to just rephotograph a version of that foot that points in the correct direction.

    My recommendation is made under the assumption that the figure is supposed to be flying.

    I like how you enhanced the highlights to further integrate your subject into the new background. Adding secondary light directed up at the subject in the photo might have helped given the reflectivity of clouds (Or a more prominent one if one is already present)? Also, foreground clouds would have enhanced the effect even further.
