Female

Working on tight shots of both male and female. All photographs are

done in the darkroom, scanned and uploaded 'as is'. Does this one

work?

I would like to se the picture in a bigger size. As it is now I think its to small. The picture itself work, Im not shore wy. The cropped view and the ( in my eyes, I hope that i dont do anyone sorry now ) "distorted" anatomy. The picture for me raises some questions - and perhaps I could see this one as one of a series. What is yoyr own thought with the picture? Please reply since I think this one was very intresting.

The print is actually an 8 X 10. I will scan and put up a larger image. There is something about this model that is interesting. She is actually very feminine, but in this shot her muscle (and lack of fat) is what drew me to her shoulders. This was from some test shots (I want to use the model for a series).

This comment really addresses both of the images that you currently having in your folder. They seem to almost be some horrible sculpture of someone being tortured. While that may sound like a bad thing, it isn't. The photos show the human body in a way other than a normal smooth figure study.

 

In short, I like them.

 

(As a side issue, I don't necessarily think it's too small. I recently removed all my photo.net images after finding them in different places on the web... where they shouldn't have been. I'm currently in the process of re-uploading smaller images.)

Your sense of aesthetics is different from mine.

The collar at bottom edge and the hot spot near that same edge don't do anything for the shape you have made of this woman. The frame seems arbitrarily placed on a contorted figure, which makes it difficult to imagine what form this actually is. The odd highlight and prominant freckles act like further camoflage, obfuscating the human form, making it a dificult image to "get". Try forgetting what this is a picture of and assess it on the merits you have granted it... t

Yes Tom, everybody has different ideas, likes and dislikes, and preferences. Thanks for your comments.

I will admit that I am woefully ignorant of the female anatomy and embarrassingly deficient in experience. But in my sixty plus years Im not sure that I ever saw that part! Thanks for showing it. Where exactly did you say it was located?

Nice light and subject, but I am at odds with the composition: maybe it's just me, but it seems like you left a lot of 'dead space' on the right, but it does help to confuse the eye as to what the subject is. I think I would like to see the subject moved to the right though. Nice work. df

the comment is for female and "what is man" .

i think that we cant separate this two and for me it s work. i like the light and the contrast

great .

I like the slightly abstract "biomechanic" effect of the shadows, would be nice to see it bigger.

The composition is great.
