High key by maggiemae

High key

Playing around with various options to get this high key portrait look which is my choice for Technique69 challenge!

There's lots of things you can do without studio lighting!
Well done!

@egoodine Well, Elizabeth, my eyes are blue but with the processing going on in this photo which is a bit of a cheat when it comes to photography - in a way - I brightened my eyes using picmonkey and cloned out the shadows! ppsss,........ don't tell everyone!

@pixiemac Thanks Sarah - this photo is not supposed to get any favs - just show that you can do what you want with photography nowadays - have to investigate and practice!

Very nice. It's nice to see pictures posted that use natural and not studio lighting.

@salza I did use one of the flash features, Sally but that of course created shadows - which i could clone out in picmonkey! Have a go!

Great processing! Looking good Maggie!

This is a very interesting photo maggie. I really like the high key look & your eyes are such a vivid blue, you look like a very elegant fashion model!

@happypat Well this is a processed photo, Pat - I do not look like this but still like looking at what I might look like!

A beautiful portrait Maggie. The high key really makes your eyes pop.
February 27th, 2017  
Fabulous high key portrait. your eyes are a gorgeous blue and the spectacles add to this picture.
February 27th, 2017  
Very subtle

@bruni I wish I did look like this, Bruni! The high key removes all wrinkles and one can brighten the eyes in picmonkey!
February 27th, 2017  
@maggiemae I might have to do that if I like to take a portrait shot. illness takes so much out of you. don't know if I'll take a portrait shot this year on my birthday as I usually do.
February 27th, 2017  
@bruni You should do it Bruni - makes you feel better if you can manipulate or accentuate your face to look good!
February 27th, 2017  
Beautifully processed but I can't look past those lovely blue eyes hidden under that curl
February 27th, 2017  
This is a wonderful photo of you, Maggiemae. I love the high key. What did you use to do this? Reading a bit about what you said above. You do have beautiful blue eyes too. A very crisp and clear photo. FAV
February 27th, 2017  
@darsphotos I used iPhoto to increase the brightness then FX Studio Pro to lighten everything, then picmonkey to brighten the eyes and... clone out the shadow. I had used a 'slow sync flash'!
February 27th, 2017  
great work!
February 27th, 2017  
hi high key maggie :)
February 27th, 2017  
@phil_howcroft High Five, Phil!
February 27th, 2017  
@maggiemae high five maggie :)
February 27th, 2017  
Excellent! I am not brave enough to do a portrait like this even with post-processing!
February 27th, 2017  
What a lovely high key shot of you Maggie!
February 28th, 2017  
@radiogirl Thank you! I wish I looked as good as this in real life! I'll have to practice that serene expression!
February 28th, 2017  
Terrific image and artistic processing. You look great.
February 28th, 2017  
Perfect!
February 28th, 2017  
You do look great, but I think you are prettier not in high key. THis washes you out. Love your eye color!
February 28th, 2017  
I like the wistful air your edit has given Maggie.
February 28th, 2017  
What great fun! You could play this game for years...changing wrinkles, scars, teeth...in fact the whole caboodle! You might have started something here. ;-)
