[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 334920, member: 9240"] I [I]could [/I]do that, but to do it properly would involve a series of edits with masks, one that includes everything [I]but[/I] the skin and then the inverse, with each mask being subject to a different color filter. I could also go back and alter the color of the skin afterwards, but it's not so much the shade of the skin that bothers you, it's the underlying texture and tonality that comes with the colored filtering I do, and that is less easy to deal with. Regardless, these are things [I]you[/I] want to see - things you perceive as [I]wrong[/I] with the image. If you look carefully across the series you can see that some people are less affected than others. The fairer and purer the skin tone the less "oil" gets on. For example... [ATTACH=CONFIG]102546._xfImport[/ATTACH] ...the older girl had very fair skin, while the young girl in the foreground's skin was darker and far more affected by the filters. This natural distinction is something I like because it speaks of differences in life experience when I look at the shots as a set. Altering the harsher tones changes that message. Would it be OK? Yep. [I]But it's not what I want to express in the series!![/I] Let's face it, there's not a lot you [I]can't[/I] do with post processing to alter and change the look of things. So, were I shooting these as a commissioned set for the people who run the Farmer's Market and they told me the look bothered them then I would consider altering it, because their opinion not only matters to the final product, their voice does too. Your opinion matters to me, but not to the extent that I put these up here for [I]input[/I]. It's purely my vision, my interpretation, and my choice to share it.

(see [url]http://nikonites.com/off-topic/24233-how-bring-constructive-back-constructive-criticism.html#axzz38DDreq7m[/url]) If you're asking me to show you a reinterpretation, at this point I'm [I]very[/I] disinclined to do so, if only because it would invite comparison, and I have no desire for that with these.
