Nice work!

If you want to work on anything, I would suggest touching up the shoulder, the shadow above the right corner of the lip and soften the contrast to reduce the harshness just a little. Just minor stuff though.

[TDM]

thanks man will do

[TDM]

i discovered somthing while doing this


just a little tip
instead of using the spot healing brush to blend
i lowered the clone tools opacity to about 40% and went over the edges
now i think it worked much better and smoother but it might not work aswell with everything
just a little tip from me

Damn! Looks good man.


As TX said, the shoulder is the only flaw I see, and not even that big of a deal.

[TDM]

thanks yeah it took me awhile but its worth 35 bucks right?

[tx51210]

Add a 0 to the end of that an throw in a large print.

[TDM]

yeah i dont think the lady is gonna go for it i had to talk her into 35

[t3ch]

I'm guessing it took you about 1-2 hours, so 35 bucks isn't to bad.

For her to have it done by a big name would....well you know how much it would cost.

[TDM]

actually it took about 45 mins and i am a big name bitch im thediceman

One of the reasons I got interested in learning to chop was to do some stuff like this. My mom has a lot of pics. very similar that need work. And since all I have managed to do on this site is gives hours of entertainment but no serious chopping skills, I may have to consider letting you do the work. I'll let ya know when, if it needs to be done.

[TDM]

sure but it wont be free

but yes you will get a discount cause i love you (yes homo)

Good job on the restoration. I'm looking at the texture on the photo paper and sometimes a specialized noise removal filter called an FFT can do a good job removing it. You will encounter that texture a lot doing restoration work. Check out this link. http://retouchpro.com/tutorials/index.php?m=show&id=185
If you need the filter let me know.

Diceman- Mad skills, looks nice. I for one actually like the darker/more contrasty look, but that's just me.

SuperBad- I wouldn't say you have no skills, assuming you made your avatar... Come on, McLovin's grinding on a hottie, how can you say no skills?
