I Heart Faces:Constructive Feedback Friday

 I_Heart_Faces_Feedback_jpg

Happy Friday. This is my before shot.

DSC_0119

Nikon D40x 55-200 mm Auto focus f4.5

This photo came out a little darker than I would have liked.  I also am unsure if I should crop it. Here’s what I came up with.  Still not excited about how it looks though. :0) any feedback would be wonderful.

Hi Chelsi! Thanks for participating! He's a cutie!

You're right on with the crop idea. Subjects tend to look a little bit better when closer to a third than right in the center. I see you also did auto focus. In your camera, you can manually choose a focal point. Put that red dot right in your subject's eye and the focus will usually be right on!

As an I ♥ Faces contributor, I took a shot at editing this photo myself. I cropped, worked with the levels, shadow/highlight, and sharpened. You can see the edit here: http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn88/racheldurik/tutorials/Untitled-1copy.jpg

Keep it up and well done for wanting to learn more! All the best in your photographic endeavors!
