[QUOTE="Woodyg3, post: 340127, member: 24569"] Please don't take this the wrong way, guys, I don't mean to be critical, I'm just adding an opinion. The edits here that just lighten the face make the face a little too light to my eye. It looks doctored or unreal. I think a compromise between totally lightened and a little too dark would look more natural. Lightening the whole image works, too, and looks closer to "right" to my eye. By the way, I really like the composition of this picture. I haven't used iPhoto for a while, but I remember it has a shadows tool of some kind. If I were you, I would give that a try on the whole photo, or just lighten the whole picture using the levels tool. When you get it edited to your liking, frame it! :) [/QUOTE]
