A return to my classic favourite shots - people.

I think I am choosing the wrong settings when I resize manually (rather than using an action) as my photos look soft & I know they aren't!

Image>save for web>image size 500 along the tall side>bicubic sharpener>apply save in my folder for up loading.

Can any one see what I am doing wrong?

Gone back to my old way to save ...

Very nice series of photo you have in your APAD.

Thanks Leong.

You gotta love that smile!

I've been wanting to get this shot for over 3 years!

HDRi merged from 5 images as well as manually blended parts of the exposures.

Have to admit I really like this one. I used the portrait ebook by this master along side Vincent Versaces lighting techniques in PS. It was taken outside at the Sg Zoo (what else is there to do on CNY).
