2007 images The model photographer

Dark wooded location just before rain drove us away... thoughts?

I think it's a good portrait, but I would like it better if the image was less blue(warmer). I also think it would be more effective if you cropped some from the top, which would then focus more attention on your subject.

Excellent, just crop a little from the top.

Its Polaroid film.. shifts in warmth do happen with shutter speed... however this is very close to accurate color for the scene. Thank you for the input.

Naw - the color is fine - I might have even gone more blue, and the band of black at the top unifies the image with the image fall-off at the bottom. I tried looking at this image cropping that part of the frame with my borwser, and it kills the meaning of the image that way, I think. As is, I get a feeling the subject is in a sort of womb - without it, it's a good portrait, and that's about it. The is indeed some beautiful light! The little violet petals make this a very feminine image, and make me feel this person is being interrupted from making images of them - gives the image a context. Good work.

Absolutely right, she was taking macro shots of the Azalea blossoms. Thank you, I really actually enjoyed the vignette on this image more than others with this camera simply because it reinforces the feeling of being in the forest with the dense trees all around.
