Facial Expressions

Posted by Josh (Vancouver, Canada) on 17 August 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Not quite satisfied with the post-processing on this one. But hey, check out their facial expressions, each one of them a different one! Interesting eh? This was taken somewhere in Vancouver during a parade on Canada Day. One of the floats had hockey stuff and some kids.

P.S. I had some difficulty getting the right color tone and sharpness of this picture, yet I'm still not satisfied. If anyone could give some advice on the post-processing on this one? Thanks! Critics welcomed!

What brilliant expressions, I love the bright happy colours, it goes really well with how happy most of them look :)
I think that it looks like you've captured three sets of twins, the first and the third, the second and the forth and the two little guys on the end!

@MaryB: Thanks! Didn't notice the twins, but now that you've mentioned it! Cute eh!?

I think you did well here Josh.
You also got a good picture with different emotions from the kids.
I like this very much

@Ling: Haha, thanks Ling. Yeah then again it is quite random, this picture, when it was taken.

Love this picture! I love the different expressions and actions of the kids and the colours are clear and vivid. Nice work!

I think MaryB is right; it looks like three sets of twins. Nicely done; these teammates look to be having a great old time.

Such happy subjects! Don't think you need to do much post processing. It's a great shot as it is. Congrats!

Denise from Malaysia

Oh, wOW! I think it's so cool that they're all twins. =)

@Denise: Haha, no they're not, but they look like. A few of them.

Ming from Petaling Jaya, Malaysia

They're all twins? I don't think so Denise...
About the colour tone - an easy way to correct it is to play with Colour Balance (Image > Adjustments > Colour Balance)
And about the sharpness - also an easy way is with Unsharp Mask, don't set the Radius too high though

@Ming: Haha, yup, I know thanks.
