CROPPING is VITAL

Uploaded: July 22, 2014

Description


The first step is cropping!
This takes away the arm and
GIVES THE ILLUSION that
The Photo Was Taken Straight On.

Can you see this change?
Then A Little Help On the Face in Curves! HA!

Exif: F Number: 2.8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/20 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, FocalLength: 4.60 mm, Model: Canon PowerShot SD800 IS
