'A Smokin Nude'

performance at its peak.....your best so far pradeep.....constellations of the mind and something much more,i feel your image....i really do.

Hi Pradeep. Nice one. Please also check out my smoke series.

Thanks,

 

Excellent abstract!!!!!!

Very nice.. I also agree with the others about the ring tho. Would have been even nicer on a plain bckgd.

Most wonderful creative abstract work Pradeep. Just love the curved lines and the diagonal. Excellent exposure and beautiful tones....Best regards, Harry

...ssssmokin'

i have had lots of friends and members tell me that i should remove the distracting circle at the back should i do it? i tried my hand at removing it, would like to know if this is fine and i can replace this picture. thanks

very good work. i think you should experiment with some more backgrounds. preferably the sky or a lawn on a non windy day..

Its an abstract. The circle is part of the abstract. A sort of balance to the upper greys, and as an upper back support for the muscular lady...The circle stays. Anyways, it does NOT in any way detract from those firm, shapely pecs.

Great shot and effect created. Creatively conceived and executed ! Keep up the good work.

I have no problems with the circle, but what do you think yourself, does it distract you or does it come because other people don't like it. IMHO it fits with this picture. And I have seen this kind of pictures before, but you did a GREAT job, thanks for sharing

The contrast between the free form 'smoke' and the perfect circle adds interest to this abstract. the uneven background texture is also intriguing....excellent work

i think the ring stays. i never had a problem with it right from the beginning and thought that it formed part of the picture. Someone Else you hit the nail right, its what i think actually, and secondly today my 'Home Minister', my wife said it looks better with it, so it stays ;) cheers and thanks guys for taking time out to see the photo, rate it and comment on it.

This is VERY creative- what an awesome piece of art from a common material that people use daily. Simply an artistic one- Iam reminded of Salvador Dali when i look at this picture....

gr8 work.shud have been time consuming.after how many shots did u get it right?was it a premeditated one or an instant one?anyways highly innovative.but it wud have been better untitled -anamika to be precise.

This photo is really smokin..great work...!

An absolutely amazing piece. Beautiful...

simplay beautiful!! u can really turn simple things into amazing photos! did that with a leaf..and now u did that with smoke!! great work :)

Simply awesome !!!

interesting picture...for a variety of reasons :-)

 

This photo received many comments, and I don't have anything to add. I can just say that I like it but find the ring distracting.

I'm rather undecided on this piece. The circle isn't distracting as much as I'm wanting to see a pure background of white. Maybe I'd see it a think, "YUCK" but at the moment it's what I'd like. The color shift is nice, that I like (Speaking about the background still) and the circle I'm indifferent about.

 

The most bottom outward swirl doesn't fit a nude so well (unless she had realllly long hair) but apart from that you did a remarkable job finding the female form.

 

The idea itself is super. The photo, despite the massive appeal and attention, isn't that inspiring for me. Just personal preferences here because the baby facial shot despite mass appeal (A negative for me sometimes) is one of my favorites.

Pradeep,it's a very calming abstract,silky and soft and has a flowing mode.You're getting

great.Have you seen some books of the art works

of some artists? like Ansel Adams? I'll be seeing yours too in the future.Probably not in my life time,but some people in the future.

 

 

thank you all for your honest comments and suggestions. cheers and happy shooting!

Very Clever shot, I just wonder how many shots you took to get this one...
