Re: Contest Zag #2 Digging the color choice...the fade looks a little too masked and not gradual enough and the eye needs a brighter pupil to stand out a little more.
I do like your color selection though and like the redchicken would like to see more "out there" color choices but this one is nice and balanced.

Re: Contest Zag #2 Thanks... still working on my technique... I blame the eye color on the camera, and lighting... it is a bit brighter than in the pic...

Re: Contest Zag #2 if you're editing your pics in photoshop, stay away from the sharpness. just adjust your brightness and contrast, probably a +15 on both. fiddling with the sharpness is making the pics grainy
also, if you have a macro feature on your camera use it. it makes a big difference

Re: Contest Zag #2 yeah I use the macro, but it still doesn't come out well... my camera sucks... I don't edit in photshop, I just use the simple adjustments in iPhoto

Re: Contest Zag #2 not bad but I think it needs a little more refinement. Try to work on the fades, blends and accents. The color choices are great.

also, if you have a macro feature on your camera use it. it makes a big difference I think he is getting the grainy effect from lack of light in the room when pics were taken (coupled w/ possible bad camera) you should use 'unsharp mask' .5 pixel radius at %15-20. boom!
