Here's my much better half. Subjected to all sorts of Nik stuff, and AltPhoto app.

Yes, bit of a halo there, but she deserves it...

Now that is damned fine Rob. I really like the slightly subdues intensity of it. I think the blackness of the eyes works very well here.

Halo doesn't worry me at all in this.

Thanks, Pete. She does have very dark eyes.
Now, how about this? The same image given the Lith treatment in AltPhoto...

I like the lith treatment but there is too much surface treatment for me with this shot I think.

It could be lessened, but I must admit to quite liking it. Even Susan thinks it is "not awful" which is very high praise from her!

I don't like the lines that intrude across her face. I find they unbalance the composition.
I guess I am lucky as my favourite model likes having her picture taken!

It saves a fortune on chlorinated hydrocarbons!

Lovely, Rob. I like the first one best.

I think I like the first better too Rob, in fact I like it a lot. However, the eyes look a bit dead because they are one flat tone. Can you lighten them a bit to get some variation in them.

Cheers, Brian. And cheers, Paul. Maybe, Paul, I'll give it a go. Maybe local sharpening would bring them out a little. But they are very dark.

Very nice Rob, I like those effects, superb Sir!

I like the second more - it has an air of contemplation about it
You;re a lucky man - swmbo has editing rights on all pictures of her, so they are few and far between!

Thanks, guys. Looked at the next morning, hmmm, not bad. I might clone out the two lines that go directly across her face, but I do like the general effect.

Lines removed from her face. The problem is, the iPad editing with the app has reduced it to just a few kilobytes - OK for on screen, but not good for printing...

Yes that does work better. By chlorinated hydrocarbons I guess Pete is referring to Chloroform. I usually hide behind a door with some on a cloth waiting for the wife to "volunteer" her modelling services. Chicken wire is handy too for keeping the loose limbs in position.

I'm shocked! But good ideas!

So how many bottles do you want me to send you again?
