I have had things printed on canvas thinking it would lose some of it's brilliance but to the contrary! It turned out even brighter. I was disappointed and actually took artists crayons to tone down some of the colors.

As far as no one else reaching that conclusion, I guess I am the odd one, but I have a very sensitive eye to color and how those colors interact with other colors. Remember, when you blend photos etc, one of the biggest mistakes is not making sure the colors and light look like the rest of the setting.

I just showed it to my husband and he said 'that looks photoshopped" and I asked how? He said it looks like the heads are pasted on".

A nice try but may I make some suggestions? Their heads do not look like they belong. The reason is the light is very different on their faces than the rest of the scene.

You need to mute the tones considerably on their faces, making them more antique looking.

Take the brightness down a few notches and see if that helps.

From that point, re-evaluate and ask on the forum if it helped.

You are right. In order to adjust the flash output, you do have to go to each flash and adjust it.

The OP said he checked his original order and realized he in fact had ordered the wrong lens.

The radio triggers are only about $28 on Cowboy Studio

I have used Cowboy studios product for years. Cheap and reliable!!!

Take the hit now. You have 16mm and the one you received is 14mm. You won't see that much difference between them. But 16mm to 12mm is a significant difference.

So, so clever!!!!

Thanks for your input.

Or maybe I should just recreate it. That might be simpler. Just always wonder why these thins happen, especially after it has worked flawlessly for such a long time!

I have used Photoshop for years and have never encountered this recent problem.

I work on my images (real estate photos) and have a recorded a batch sequence. This resizes all the photos and saves them to a folder as a jpg. In the last few weeks it has been 'losing' 3-5 of the images (usually 25 images are batched at a time) I have worked hard on. I can't find them anywhere so as a back up I save each as a tiff elsewhere to make sure I don't lose my edits.

It really is a pain to have to double save them. Not to mention the space they take up on my hard drive.

Has anyone experienced anything like this?

I agree with the idea of the crop

Great image!

Thank you very much for the nice comments! Glad you like the set. Hope you visit my deviant art site to see some of my other macro work.
