Introduction

Portret (fr. Portrait, from the obsolete portraire - “to depict”) is an image of this or that person, produced by means of painting, engraving or sculpture, as well as a photographic image or a verbal description (in particular, in literature).
Depending on the size of the image, portraits of the portraits distinguish the head (when only the head is shown on the shoulders), chest, waist, generation and full height.
Regarding the pose of the represented figure, they distinguish profile, “from the face” (en face), three-quarters of a turn to the right or left (en trois quarts) and the so-called an profil perdu, that is, depicting a face from the back of the head, so that only part of the profile is visible.

In the sunshine

BombilCalabasov @ 07/10/07 09:30:50

kochrob, "In the sun" - a great job! The only thing you could find fault with is that the frame is a bit perezagat, especially from above. I would like a little more space from the top to the left. And the quality is great! Soft light, worked hair ... och. Ho! But most of all, of course, like emotions! Clean and bright. Put 5 even despite the frame tightness ...

Odeann @ 07/10/07 10:35:51 PM

kochrob, the photo is really cool and very lively, although gjxvte is confused by the shade of the wall ... it is a little bit somehow ..
(I’m just an amateur, not even less than an amateur, so I can’t fight competently. This is all just my opinion.)

Portrait? Portrait .... What is not a portrait under the pencil? Not perfect, duck and I'm not a magician :)

BombilCalabasov @ 07/10/07 10:18:29 PM

Miocker, not a bad experiment, but I didn’t like the emphasis on the nails ... Somehow predatory happened ...

Miocker @ 07/10/07 10:39:48 PM

So after a woman!

Kochrob @ 07/10/07 10:53:28 PM

Miocker, the main thing in this portrait - nails. Color them with color or something.

SD Alone @ 07.07.07 12:20:09

What kind of plugin is this? Give a link, if not difficult.

Miocker @ 07/11/07 10:20:46 PM

This is not a separate plugin, all standard photoshop.

Portret (s).
A reflection of modernity in the lost and frozen future of the past pre-revolutionary reality. Or vice versa.

BombilCalabasov @ 07/10/07 10:18:29 PM

Odeann, the idea is good, but we still have to work on the implementation ... As sketches - not bad, but no more. Include sepia - it does not mean to make a good portrait. What a terrible black shadow from the nose? bottom left portrait - generally uzhos! (may my Albanian forgive me)

Kochrob @ 07/10/07 11:36:26 PM

Inexpressive photos. The black-and-white face is out of focus; attention is distracted by a hand in the foreground. No idea. And so not that even the name of the photo is not given.

Kochrob @ 07/10/07 11:36:26 PM

Uncle in color - the same. More suitable for a photo from a family album - This is my mate Vasya, and this is our dad.

Slid @ 07/10/07 11:41:51 PM

it is a relic of compression, not a focus error) The only thing is that it’s just lacking contrast.
PySy: and I like my grandfather)

BombilCalabasov @ 07/11/07 08:11:35

I also liked my grandfather more. The photo portrait is of high quality, but obviously - “scared”. If the person did not want to pose, then this should not be seen in the picture. If you were posing, you should have chosen a more expressive frame. And so it happened: "Well, why are you again with your Nutcracker climb ?!" And the emotions on the face, and the movement of the hands.
The boy also turned out "scared." It seems to be emotions, but they are aimed at something outside the picture, so the picture seems incomplete, as if something is cut off, something important, the story center. This is the most important disadvantage. Well, the quality is almost not enough.

Brother

[email protected] 11:52:37

Lots of empty around brother. Poorly selected point shooting - on top. Because of this, there were shadow dips in the place of the eyes, deep shadows on the face. The two basic rules in child photography are to take the child's height off or below and focus on the eyes. Child portrait "without eyes" - marriage (most often). By lowering the shooting point, it was possible to achieve an underscore of the perspective not only by the road, but also by the horizon line, by the side of the road, which would make the work more voluminous. Another important detail to which most fans do not pay is the color compatibility of the background and the object. Here you can take as an example the work of BombilCalabasov laid out for the competition. Worth a look.
... forgot to say about cropped hands. So can not be cruel to the children.

BombilCalabasov @ 07/12/07 07:22:21

You have made a wonderful premiere of what is called an "American portrait": the face is clearly in the center of the frame, shot to the waist, no work with the background. The exposition automatics did what it could - it did, the autofocus worked, but the main computer - the head of the photographer - was clearly not involved in this work.
Flesh [ZLO], yes, the stick is clearly superfluous.

I didn’t edit anything, although the straining glance could have been a glossy light source ... I just liked the light ...

Portrait? (:
In general, comrades, I’ll tell you so - shooting yourself on a digital camera without a tripod with a timer of 10 seconds is fun, but not easy)))

BombilCalabasov @ 07/13/07 08:15:21

what can I say. Of course, this is - Portrait. For visual qualities, this is much more than a simple photo. Still, this is more related to computer art, IMHO.

The plot and its embodiment are beautiful! A woman's portrait, shot by a Woman, as a rule, leads men into confusion, if not to say, into awe. A completely different look at the image, completely different means of expression. For some reason, the name "Queen of Flirting" suggests itself to this work. There is something innocent in the expression of the face and eyes, romantic in these golden butterflies, but the gloves on the hands, the pahitos and the peignoir say that this is a far from innocent creature. This explosive mixture of innocence and passion gives the portrait an extraordinary appeal (at least for the male part of the audience).

The only thing I did not understand was a dark spot in the LNU. There was something here that we did not want to show? It is hard to believe that this is a banal oversight ...

"5 stars" without reservation.

Marlena @ 07/13/07 09:00:19

mmm ... getting five stars from you is a small victory for me Moreover, I am a bad photographer (well, what can I hide there)), and all that is good here is the possession of FS on a solid four)

About LNU - composition) Just not very good angle turned out, in the sense that the horizontal line (mouthpiece) is tall, and the HLG turned out to be a bit overloaded. Thus, I tried to balance this matter (plus I didn’t set the brightness on the monitor — it’s foreign — in theory, the background is covered with a gray-beige texture and not a uniform black spot). Just my favorite layout is dividing the grid into 9 parts, although from the side I was told that the cruciform layout would have come more here, but I miscalculated a little bit - the source also had the body unsuccessfully cropped from below, I would have a couple more centimeters left I would certainly have built everything differently)

Slid
Court of the location of objects - a portrait of a cat. and why is the face so yellow - shot with incandescent bulbs without a flash? By the way, the model also needs to be cooked - the color of the lipstick absolutely falls out of the gamut of the entire image.

[email protected] 13:32:37

Flash to the ceiling + diffuser.

[email protected] 18:36:32

Just the colors did not really like the source code - the “telephone” ones turned out a bit

I like light haze like that in such cards delicate colors, something like that

Although this treatment is of course an amateur (:

Marlenefilter case is not Diffuse Glow? I love this filter, but often I don’t work with him. It feels like the camera automatics cannot handle the exposure at all.

Let's try option number 2

Marlena @ 07/14/07 6:55:24 PM

I almost do not use filters, these are overlay methods (in my processing))

I prefer your second variant, in my opinion, this is the overlay of a bleached photo with a light blur in the overlay mode, ne? Definitely better source (as for my taste), as already noted - the colors are too "phone" on the original version

It was just that the photograph bribed me with tenderness, I wanted to add a shimmer and a pinkish hue to it, hence the method of processing.

[email protected] 19:34:05

Marlene, almost guessed)
in fact, there are two layers, the upper one is discolored and I do not remember with what transparency; on the lower lip color is corrected and Diffuse Glow + is applied on both layers with correction curves.
and the reason for the unsharpness is banal JPEG with its compression, all the more it was not the source that was stinging, but already correcting the photo.

[Marlene]

And one more portrait (?)
I do not know where he has more space - here or in collages. On the one hand, this is a photo of my friend made by me. The processing by itself is also mine (by the way, for comparison I can lay out the source code)), but the tree - Stock - did not find at myself something as textured. Eyes, by the way, the same girlfriend)))

So - Dryad, the spirit of the tree.



and the option is a little bigger

[email protected] 20:27:28

Marlene,
Something with your hand you namudrila - a young girl, and the brush like an elderly. Do you think that the eyes are not sitting? Look closely: the lines of the hair, the shoulder and the brush, the backs of the nose are slanting and form a semblance of the letters V. And the line of the eye of the tree is almost strictly vertical. It was interesting if the model covered part of the lower eye with its brush.

Marlena @ 07.14.07 20:36:37

are you about the eyes of the tree? There, the tree on the source is simply that where you want to plant your eyes, they will be like an appliquГ©, therefore such an arrangement ...

Marlena @ 07.14.07 20:36:37

As for the hand - well, the idea was just that. Dryad - it is very dependent on its tree, according to mythology. When something happens to a tree, the dryad dies with it. The tree is old, and her hands are no longer young, only the face is alive and young, with which she clings to her patron ... somehow

Walk through the canals in St. Petersburg.

[kochrob]

Here, rummaged in the archives. From St. Petersburg frames.
Mood.

[email protected] 16:29:34

kochrob, um ... but a little tweak? I do not like the "mourning" frame on the right-bottom, nothing is justified. The color balance just went to Magenta, you can easily remove it ... I would remove the extra space from above. And the mood is not bad, this very Sadness is felt. Even the fact that the frame is so tightly clamped on the layout is not so bad. Powered by this frame.

kochrob, BombilCalabasov, almost everything has already been said, so I'll just try to finish it in the shop.

done in haste, so sorry for the quality of performance

[email protected] 20:50:35

Nah, will not do. On that though with defects but a touch of sadness was. And the detailing here has removed all this.

And what are you doing here, eh? :)

BombilCalabasov @ 08/09/07 11:40:07

Miocker, very good shot! Almost immaculate! I don’t know, intentionally or accidentally, such a trimming was performed with “cutting off” of the head, but in this case it turned out to be very relevant. The boy as it looks into the frame to the viewer. Loved it! Solid 5!

I don’t know if this can be considered a portrait, a lot of distraction and the reflection of the sea in the car, and the mountain, and the car itself, but I like the picture:

portrait with dandelions

BombilCalabasov @ 08/09/07 11:40:07

not a bad portrait, except that framing is a little “not even”: it would be a little to press it to the right-top. And so it seems that the baby falls out of the frame to the left.

Photo was taken on Victory Day

BombilCalabasov @ 09/06/07 10:30:38

Good picture, soulful ... But it could have been done better! Pay attention: part of the face is overexposed and not readable - this is bad. How could this be avoided?
Option one: remove this frame with bracketing at least +/- 1 step. Then out of three, one would surely turn out.
Option two: if the camera has the function of spot metering, then it was necessary to turn it on and make metering in the face. Or even on his own palm, substituting it under the sun in the same way as the face of the illuminated photo.
Option three: It was enough to slightly shift the frame down, then the dark space above, which dragged part of the exposure, would take a much smaller space in the frame and would allow the automation to calculate the overall exposure of the image more correctly.
Option four: shoot in RAW. As a rule, when converting from this format, you can always pull up such small flaws in the exposure.
