Ares Jones : First Portrait

Here's one photo that I did way way back when I first got my first DSLR, the Canon 400D. Messed up the exposure big time. This is not one of my better shots.



Orignal JPG : Camera : 400D, 1/160, f/1.8, ISO800, Jpg

So, the dilemma arise, cause I'm gonna treat this shot as a 'once in a lifetime' shot. And its crap. Throw it away? or Save it? Why did I ever used Jpg?

Here's the result after some 'intensive care' measures done to bring the jpg shot to life. Some tuning, really some tuning later in LR, here's the end result. I've a few version of this one floating around. But this version's the latest ... LOL.



100% Crop



Ares Jones : First Portrait

Does it work?

Note: Shadow toning done : enhance gold / yellow feel.


Ares Jones : Original Version (2007)

Here's one that I did a couple of years ago, for comparison sake.
