Thanks, Edwin, I learned something new.. I am not against high key, but IMHO if the high key is overdone, it has a detrimental effect in showing the wetness of clothes in the highlights, especially white wet transparent ones, where the contrast of the clothes with the skin is a bit lost.
I was just thinking if what I noticed is not so much high key but rather veiling lens flare. Here is an image to illustrate.
Though photographic art is subjective and I really like Victor's style, for some reason this and similar pictures are not my cup of tea

By EdR - Sun 16/03/14 16:03:13 GMT Website: www.asplashofglamour.com Every photo that comes out of my cameras (except Polaroids) are post processed, or "photoshopped". We use Photoshop CS5 to process images. I just feel that it adds to our overall look and style. A slight overexposure is high key and done right doesn't degrade the quality of the image

In reply to Message (60850) Technical question to producers
By GeorgeSK - Sun 16/03/14 13:49:44 GMT A question to producers: Do you do post processing to your pictures or upload as they come out of the camera?
I am just asking because I like to use wetlook pics from my favourite producer (Wetfoto) as a desktop background and I noticed lately that many of the pics, especially the ones taken in bright sunlight, seem to be a bit "washed out" and overexposed.
When I do my image processing magic, they look like a totally different picture without them looking unnatural - adjusting levels and curves to get more contrast and as a finishing touch, I have a new weapon in my arsenal - Topaz Adjust 5, which gives them the required punch - nicer colours and more detail.
This was not meant as a criticism, just a question. I realise that it would be time consuming, but the basic levels and curves could be automated by finding a generic "good value" and use a Photoshop action to batch convert the images.
Thanks in advance for your reply.
