Awsome Chris. How do you get the sharpness and saturation so good? Also love the hair. Same part as the teeth + liquify? Trade secrets please. :-)

Thanks for your comment ZipedX, though it is not easy to answer your questions. But I'll try.
I have no secrets how I edit my pictures. From experience, I just follow certain rules from the theory of colors (contrasting colors, complementary colors, light to dark contrasts, sharpness or blur). Exactly the way I learned it long before Photoshop was invented. Of course my pictures seem to have a professional look, as I've been working 20 years with photoshop for highend applications.


In this particular image the head is a little blurred, which seem to make the main features of the face slightly sharper. Such things I do just automatically. I hope this gives an insight into my way of working.

Chris.
 
I like your answer chris, it's alot more educational than you might think. I started out my ps career just a few years back and have been at it on and of from a photographic view point. So I know how sharpness and blur effects a photo, it just never struck me that the same applies here. Silly really...

Just shows one has just peered out through the lid of the box I guess. :D
 
Great idea ZipedX!
Definitely a face...I like your alien squid! A little to greenish?...but maybe this is just me.

Aliens squids are green aren't they?

Nah..! I see your point I just wanted a more underwater feel. Didn't work did it?
Anyone who got improvment tips please share.

Thanks Chris/all

Bugger, would have been cool if you made the surface and bubbles from scratch. Would have wanted to learn that. :D

Thanks for the ideas though, I really like how yours came out gonna play around for a bit and see if I can achive something similar.
 
Ziped, I like your latest post. The color is so much more vibrant. I was going to mention the lack of contrast, but you've more than fixed that.
