And this week is over! So excited to see the RPC back and that you guys are still submitting work. Last week we had a portrait of Rieli, this was taken with a Sony a6000 and a Helios 44M-6. The shot wasn't the greatest, as the focus of her face was, well out of focus. This caused her face to be underexposed and it was a totally different tone than her left arm.

I picked this image to see if people would pick up on that, unfortunately, many didn't. I also noticed that her face remained underexposed throughout most of the edits. There's no prize for this week (still seeking sponsors), but I do have a few of my favorites. Listing my favorites will be a new edition to the RPC, I'll also share insight on why I liked their images.

Best Edit: Alexis Hebert takes the win for this week, at least to me. The image is a bit underexposed in her face, but I feel as if that's an easy fix. He did a great job removing blemishes from her face and kept it clean... Other than that no complaints. Great job!



Best Exposure: Rob Zima did a really great job bringing everything out in the photo, however, his overall edit looks a little flat. It's almost too natural, as if he just took the RAW and boosted the highlights and shadows. Had he touched the background up a bit I think it would have come out amazing.



Honorable Mention: Raspy__ photo had so much potential. I loved what he did with the green in this photo, it reminds me of something I would do. However, it looked like he touched her face up without adding any additional exposure to it. Maybe he was going for a certain mood, but it would have been my favorite edit had he just brightened it up.

I'm interested in knowing everyone's opinions on the photo below. I'm thinking of turning Here's What You Created into somewhat of a critique session. Let me know what you think about that idea. Tomorrow's RPC will be posted at 12:30PM (Eastern), the best way to stay up to date with all the action is by joining the Facebook Group. I'll see you all over there!
