Heart shadow

Pretty good imitation of Vitor Dias original photo.

Can you beleve me that I did`t see the photo of Vitor before ?! Anyway the are many subjects and compositions on this site that are similar or appropiate but that doesen`t mean they are " imitations".

Regards.

It sounds unbelievable ,the two photos are too similar but I may apologize for the word "imitation".

Pierre, I taked a look on the folder of Vitor Dias, there it`s any kind of photo with this subject?!

Nice composition, excellent details and contrast !

Even if you've seen the other image before (and I believe you if you tell me you have not) You have presented the idea in your own way . . . . the text can be read easily . . . it's asymetrical balance shot . . .

 

Your decision to break the rule about focusing on the elements nearest the film plane was a good one.

Solid conceptual work -- very nicely done!

What a lovely image! I love it!

Su cute ! So nice, Illona ! One more point for the book is in French... ;-)

I prefer Ilona's photo rather than Vitor's _original_ photo, because in my opinion Ilona's color composition is simpler and better.

Ilona's is much better.

This image is beautiful--simple, but striking.

BEAUTIFUL! this is truly one of life's simplest things that most ppl just don't notice...what would make it a PERFECT 7 would be if the words on the page were either like a dictionary on the word LOVE...or the text of Romeo and Juliet...8)

Clever, beautiful, smart. Your whole folder impressed. I've Marked you as Interesting -- keep taking beautiful photos. :)

fantastic. Extremely original image. I would never have thought that a shadow as interesting as this could even be cast using a light source, spectacles and a book. Very well done.

nice

I love this photo. The crispness, the composition....it all creates a powerful image.

Nice job. This is great.

So beautiful. Realization, composition, light... I think this is perfect... and also, I prefeer this one to the Victor's one. May be the other one is the imitation of this?

i'm please that the text is in french. Ca change un peu! anyway this is a great idea.

Lovely image - infact your monochrom folder is full of great work. I think I'll be coming back on a regular basis!

ouin , il y a pas juste l'anglais dans la vie!

:) great shot !! I'd never seen that before!

could you have focused at the end of the book and have 2 focus points ( because your taking a photo of a lens that already is in focus of something) ?? ( a little bit like another photo on photo.net that I saw, of a non-focused nude lady holding glasses, and only the nipple is in focus in the glasses)

Excellent shot. I tried this a several times, but never had such a good result as this.
