the innocence of a little girl (serbia part 1)
she is one of the children of the orphanage i went "visit to" this august, in sombor (serbia).
i like very much this photo but in my opinion there is a big error which disturb the entire photo: the cutted chin.
made with a pentax mx and 135mm lens, i don't remember time&diaphragms

resurrection...there wasn't my fault for the cropped chin... but lab's print... and the bad quality is caused to my bad scanner... i've changed it some time ago...
i noticed that one year ago when i print this negative in darkroom...

well, this would be a tough piece of work, but yes, indeed i could "fix the problem" with photoshop ...but my suggestion would be to crop it dramaticly more ...
check the filesize on your harddisc ... i'm quite sure that your file is bigger than the 52 kb you uploaded here ... ;-))

the photo is "as is", there isn't the auto compression of fotocommunity...is there a mode (maybe with photoshop) which could "complete" the chin (and maybe her hair)?

the crop is indeed disturbing ... if i may, i will show you what i would do with the photo to "save" it - even with the cropped chin ... :-)besides of that i'd like you to read this article ... it could help with the automatic compression the photo probably went through:
