![]() Posted Sat Mar 16 10:06AM | After having read a few articles, especially the ones suggested by inspectors, I wonder if this file is treated well enough to meet iStockphoto's standards. I acknowledge that the original file itself is the Achiles heel, and that the conservative edition has not been enough to help save the file. Or am I being too strict? https://www.dropbox.com/s/motaclk11pjiz8g/BabyOnTheWay2.jpg Pregnant woman: image not treated well enough (Edited on 2013-03-16 10:07:49 by jluizmail) |

I think you've done a nice job editing the file, but the lighting is still quite problematic. Not everything can be fixed in post and here you have harsh lights from quite extreme angles either side of the model, creating distinct and distracting shadows. A more diffused and even lighting, slighting more from the front, would probably suit the subject better. |
