Xronia Pola..........!!

I agree with Karaflazz, the bg color is not the best for this, and it could use some contrast.

nice use of lighting here...good luck my friend.......

superb................great lighting on a delicate subject, well done.

good work.........the crop is a little tight lower left

different outlook on the subject..........

bravo author..........great use of color.

clever composition........

excellent work. I agree with the contrast comment. good luck

..........this is wonderful....the skin tones, and the colors in the dress are remarkable.......someone in this contest said they did this work professionally, this is way above the entry they have submitted.........keep up the good work.

Bravo drivenslush..........I couldn't agree more.........author, as drivenslush has already said, your actual photo repair work is outstanding fro a beginner.........keep up the good work!!

better, but still not quite realistic.....keep it up, you'll get it. faces and skin tones are extremely hard to get right.

hey, we al have to start somewhere..........keep trying, you'll get the hang of it.

superb capture, great detail. good luck

beautiful capture..........dof could have been just a little deeper............

excellent work..........nice colors, good dof and contrast.

fabulous capture..........great colors, excellent dof and contrast. good luck.

good capture, not as close as some, but still good.

beautiful capture..........dof could have been just a little deeper............

superb capture, maybe just a little more contrast needed

good capture, not as close as some, but still good.

excellent macro, great colors.

good effort............some people will never catch lightning.......

how old is your daughter?

excellent take.................well executed.

it's ok saying about the flow guys, but, without ps work, it cannot be done, so I think this is ok...........

ok, f22 and 1/60 sec..you had to be using something deliberately, that is a very slow lens speed for such a catch, yet you say you had to read the exif data to see that the flash had fired..........for a shot like this, the flash had to fire, or at least, a triggered light source had to fire.

Oui, il est en effet une merveille .......... bien fait, bonne chance...............lol

good attempt

great shot, but she's got really hairy arms in hi res......lol............I do like the red hair though.......mmmmm!

good work.......

the title would certainly be meaningless without her..........

nice capture...........well shot.

superb capture..............well done.

good effort.

no flash, so what is the light source, it was bright enough to cause a start effect in places!

excellent composition..........

mmm, what prog did you use for this?..........Sorry, but I think you need to learn more about the prog before you attempt any more of these.......

mmm, I'll agree with that Ponti.......

I can see where you are coming from Ponti, but the aim was to ..."make it look like it was taken these days in color with a digital camera. "........not a painting.....

excellent work..........one or two of the hairlines are a little harder than others, but the work is good overall.........good luck

nice catch.........

I like the composition here, it has an eerie look to it......good luck.

the work in this is magnificent............there are some differences in sharpness, from coat to another for instance, but the rebuild is superb.

we need to see the original here, not just in sbs

nice work.excellent colors, and a subtle use of light, well done.

this is good work, but the face structure and skin tones could do with some work...they don't look real in the hi res.

clever, yes it is flipped....the darker grain surface is some sort of kitchen worktop, while the lighter grain appears to be a shelf construction of some sort.

good catch, but not very extraordinary!!

small aperture to get the stars??
