davidnoblephotography 0 Posted April 21, 2011 The candle on the mantlepiece, Terry.I just think it's a bit distracting. Link to comment
gsphotoguy 3 Posted April 22, 2011 The candle might be distracting but it also forms a nice connector between the real and reflected world. It almost looks like she is trying to stare the candles to light.The high key effect is very lovely broken only by the fireplace and her hair. Well made, David! Link to comment
davidnoblephotography 0 Posted April 22, 2011 Thanks Mark. I really like this photo... but I'm still not keen on the candle. I wish I'd spotted it before I took the shot. I try to get past the candle by just looking at her lovely bum instead !!! lol Link to comment
david_r_lewis 0 Posted April 22, 2011 David,Don't beat yourself up over candle or no candle. The image you have presented is pleasing to the eye with interesting lines and of course a nice form with repeating elements namely the face and the candles. It might be a bit tight on the crop and my monitor indicates a bit more density might be in order, but overall, a nice image and presentation. I think a lot of us would like to go back and tweak parts of an image, but more time would be spent than moving on to create another terrific image.Warmest regards,David R. Lewis Link to comment
davidnoblephotography 0 Posted April 22, 2011 Thanks David. Ok everyone... I'm not bothered about the candle anymore... Link to comment
davidmccracken 2 Posted April 23, 2011 I am wondering if you hadn't mentioned the candle if others would have. My guess is probably. Shooting in a model's home does give the shot a personal feel. Link to comment
John Peri 1,038 Posted April 23, 2011 The candle is fine, in fact it may look a little void without it .. a nice shot David, well composed, bravo. The only thing I might suggest is to bend your knees and try the shot from a lower perspective also .. Link to comment
david_r_lewis 0 Posted April 23, 2011 David,John Peri brings up a really good point here. I am 5'7". There used to be three competitors in my area who were 6'3". When I looked at their work, their perspective was off in my opinion. Whenever possible, I always try to get the lens level with the subject's eyes. This tends to eliminate converging lines and seems to keep all things in perspective. Do I break that policy ? Absolutely ! But only when I want to. Simply try my way a few times. You will either like it or not. Do remember that you are the artist and we mere mortals are only the critics.Warmest regards,David R. Lewis Link to comment
davidnoblephotography 0 Posted April 23, 2011 Thanks for all the helpful comments guys... The candle doesn't bother me so much now... But I think the crop is a bit too tight. lol. As long as you all like it, that's what is important. Link to comment
