Artist's Comments

These are my in-laws. I love them to pieces though they drive me crazy sometimes.

EDIT: Made some adjustments to the image after some wonderful advice from my mentor *Wessonnative

This is a wonderful portrait. It tells the story of two people who are obviously devoted and dedicated to each other. It's a classic portrait, and one that will always be treasured. The only thing I would suggest is to carefully select and then slightly darken the background using the freehand selection tool in either Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, using a feathering setting of 150 to 200 so that it blends very evenly into the edges of the couple's image. That would draw the viewer's eye to the couple immediately. Also, consider doing a grayscale version of this image, and tone it slightly to give it a vintage look. You really did a great job with this image, and you should be proud of it.

i made the background adjustments, but the toned image brought out too many facial imperfections. Thanks again for your wonderful advice. :hug:

really lovely portrait, how sweet!

only thing id say is.. bringing her hand and resting it against the right side of his chest may have framed it well, but it looks cute anyhow, great job :)
