Engagement Photos - My 3rd Photo Shoot

Well, I'm getting more and more practice. I've been back from sea for about 2 1/2 weeks now, and a guy on my boat wanted me to take his and his girl's engagement photos, having liked some of my previous works I showed him. He also invited me to his wedding to shoot. They have hired a photographer, but spoke to him and he is cool with me going to shoot and totally supports someone trying to build their portfolio, but just asks that I don't take pictures of his set poses. And believe me, I'm totally cool with that.

I digress. So, here are the first 5 of the engagement photos.

Black and color can be a bitch
(the green in your first one is a distraction)

What i do to aid is
1 Blow it up 130-150% then you can be more careful
2 magic wand will isolate the areas you want to process
3 use History erase brush to expose the color from your converted black and white
*Note HEB will not work until you flatten or merge the layer
4 change the brush size with right click (big for isolated areas small for fine details)

On your second pic i love the hands and id suggest color all the leaves in the background or none

Very well done on the composition

Thanks for the input. Ya, I don't know how to do that yet with an editor. I still have yet to go buy a Photoshop book to do it with, but I did it on accident to begin with and then chose to continue with it.

But thanks again for the input!
