Moon Child and all her phases

Moon Child represents the phases of the moon as shown through symbolic

interpertation. Please feel free to give me any suggestions . The Black

out was my first symbolic photo and this is my second Thanks, Cile

... is well thought-out and well executed. Maybe the 2nd pose would have been more appropriate with the model looking directly at the camera - as I presume this figure represents full moon? Overall, I like it - you've preserved the fact that the Moon always faces us, so keeping her body facing forward is appropriate. To me, the Earth looks artificial, but I couldn't suggest what could be done to fix this!

In fact, do you even need the Earth there? The Moon faces the Earth in reality, and the model faces us in this image, so hence we are standing on the Earth with respect to the image. Therefore, Earth need not be included in the sky - what do you think?

I think the blue earth really gets in the way of an otherwise fine image. Why the 'moon' child label? I think the symbolism is taken just one step too far here. This is one that is hard to rate, do I rate down the aesthetics, or the originality? Without the colored Earth, aesthetics 6, originality 6.

Good idea .. but the background need some work...

Thank you for your comments on my folder, Cile. You are very generous to give me those scores, I am merely an amateur, but I do enjoy myself! I only just read your biography: I am envious of you - I would love to borrow your grand children and their mothers for my work, but alas... I must stick with the statues in the cemetery!

I don't think this model is suitable for this shot

Why would you think that? What do you see as a "type" model that would be better? Thank you for your time, Cile

Lets see, anywhere from a 1 to a 7 in aesthetics and 2 to a 7 in originality, nothing like a consensus of opinion... 6/6 from me. The "earth" looks like an afterthought (IMHO), perhaps enlarging it OR deleting it..
