quotes Well, the one that is on the photo is physically visible, and the metadata actually contains a lot more information than just the copyright. It's easy enough to remove either, however actually doing that is a fairly serious crime.

quotes Darren invented the "boner" log, not the "cannon log", that's some sort of new PC name for it....

quotes No, and understood. I didn't add it to the story, and didn't feel the desire to remove it. It's a common misconception about that photo, and while I do retouch all portraits I don't ever go as far as that one looks, but it's also difficult to bring back realistic skin that isn't there, and I happen to quite like that photo in spite of or because of the look, not sure which...

quotes @redrook actually if you take a good look at photo number 4 it's more out of focus than retouched that way. I had to do a lot of work on the eyes and helmet details to save it, further more that photos were not all chosen by the author, and they were placed to show several things. One of those is that women can be good looking and still ride as well as or better than guys, that has been a common misconception for years, and still is. That if you're a good looking woman you shouldn't get dirty or injured. As for the comments about fullbug's comment about the Mud Bunnies calendar, specifically Mud Bunnies is actually a women's mountain biking club, and they (women) produce their own calendar. Any of the mud bunnies can correct me on that if I'm wrong...

quotes Barely retouched, and yes I retouch all portraits, and no action shots, that's just my style. This looks like more than it is because it's ever so slightly out of focus, so not that I softened her skin much, but mostly that I had to sharpen eyes and other details a bit more than normal... Take a look at the shirt on her shoulder and the strap of the helmet, that's about the same as her face and those haven't been touched...

aha, Ian. You're getting a right hounding for that picture of Angie. I do also like the fact of how many times you've explained the soft focus and the fact the shutter speed was a little low. Keep up the ace work man, have always loved your work

Hello Ian, could you advise my friend on what entry level DSLR to get?

Canon EOS 1100D, Pentax K-r or Nikon D3100 ?

Thanks.

Alex.
