Ohhh thats much better, I like it very much.... (even though I am not the person you are doing this for!)

Your right about the pupils, I think that helped make it a bit more natural.

You do excellent work....

Diky moc!

Generally speaking, larger pupils look nicer. If we want to show anger then tiny, almost pinpoint pupils are the way to go, but for a more peaceful look then large ones are best.

Anyway, just for whos2know, here's another option. Skin tones more natural looking:


And compared side by side with original image -- but still with the green eyes and bigger pupils. (Click on thumbnail for full-sized image):

And that is why I find myself drawn here everytime I log on

I have absolutely nothing to contribute but support and respect, but I find the thread to be like a breath of fresh air. I breathe it deeply.

You contribute greatly with your mere presence!

Sooo... This size, then?


I used the latest version but if whos2know wants something different, no problem.

I'm also wondering if it would look better against a different background. (ie a colour) Easy enough to do but not sure what might look best. Any suggestions?

I rather enjoy the white background, makes the child look like an angel in heaven this way

Awesome! Nice entry!

Ancient Civilization Entry

Sometimes, an image is already a masterpiece and all it needs is resizing.... tried lots of things with it, but realized, it's a masterpiece in and of itself. The School of Athens by Rafael, depicts the great legacies in math and science

Background size:



Full size:

The really big version



This speaks to ME about ancient civilizations and the contributions that were made.... especially since I'm a math/science geek

Awesome!!!

.... dunno, you could try some other backgrounds or just wait to see if she likes it on this one. The white background does say a lot though. The purity, the innocence, actually lets the green eyes dominate the picture

Awesome entry!

reply to post by OpinionatedB

Actually after trying out a few options I tend to agree. It might be best to leave it alone. (PC, I saw your comments on this matter as well. Thank you!)

All that remains is to possibly make it into a gif. Working on that now...
