james_oneill 0 Posted May 2, 2004 My first reaction was that this is the best picture I've seen from you. I'm not sure why... this is one of your regular models, and although the lighting is good, it often is in your pictures. It's not the photoshop mixing colour and mono (a technique I use too)... so what then ? I think it is 3 things. I Like the pose, it is a whole body shot - it doesn't emphasise any part of the body (remember the shot OF breasts / shot WITH breasts discussion ?) . The cloth on the thing she is sitting on and the background make good supporting elements. But the main thing about it is she has *space* in the frame. Link to comment

francescomartini 0 Posted May 2, 2004 Ho..Pedro..questa e' una sorpesa!!! hai fatto un lavoro fantastico e una plasticita' dell'immagine degna di una statua di Canova!!!! Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted May 2, 2004 Esta vez te has superado, la composición y el tono es exquisito. Link to comment
jfochoa 0 Posted May 2, 2004 No estoy muy seguro acerca de los círculos... distraen. Creo que la composición y la lúz son excelentes, los tonos en ella... insuperables. Felicidades. Link to comment
alecee 0 Posted May 2, 2004 Neat shot Pedro. The different tones work well here to effectively show off the model. Link to comment
bjcarlton 0 Posted May 2, 2004 An interesting exercise in Photoshop, but what's the image about? I, too, like the pose and lighting of the model, but am hard-pressed to relate it to the background. What if the model were replaced with, say, a toaster? Would that change the meaning? Or is this meant, as you suggest in your critique request, just to be playing around for the fun of it? (And it is a fun image.) Link to comment
nomade 1 Posted May 3, 2004 Fabulous model, such a beatiful shapes... Subtle lightning, and a new element, the circle in the background. I dont get the idea of the previous commenter. Why every image has to have an special meaning? This IS erotic, period. What else is needed to "understand"? Link to comment
bjcarlton 0 Posted May 3, 2004 Well, what's erotic about it? The model, right? Because she's attractive and naked. But what about the background? Does it add? Detract? Distract? Do anything? Why did the artist put it in there? Obviously, it took a lot of work, but to what end? Is there something symbolic about the concentric circles? Or are they just there because it seemed like a good idea at the time? Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted May 3, 2004 If I wanted to impress people I could say that as in the case of the concentric circles, sex is the center and the pivot of passional geometry, but the truth is that I only tried to create an attractive background. Thanks again for your comments and time. Link to comment
Bilal Zaheer 0 Posted May 3, 2004 seems a bit too obviously pasted, the edges are apparent. after doing the lasso, you could "contract" the selection by by 1 or few pixels and then copy paste. or you could also "defringe" it to avoid the apparant edge. pretty good idea and composition though!

YS2 0 Posted May 3, 2004 The pose, lighting, composition, selective colour are simply superb. The model is beautiful. I seldom comment, but this work is just brilliant! Link to comment
mike_schot 0 Posted May 3, 2004 an extremely interesting mood of light! the backlight-line on the right side (viewer)of the girl could have been softened a little more (closer to body) and one couldn't tell that the pic's been manipulated. Still: an excellent job; photo and photoshop... Congratulations Link to comment
bjcarlton 0 Posted May 3, 2004 Actually, I think the concentric circles represent the Big Bang, which led, billions of years later, to your model, the pinnacle of creation! I like the sense of experimentation and outright fun you show in your pictures, as represented by all the different things you shoot and all the different ways you shoot them. And as I hope you picked up, my comments are meant only to encourage thought and to give meaningful feedback. Keep up the good work. Link to comment
bente_erichsen 0 Posted May 3, 2004 The wonderful light on the body and the cloth is completely distroyed by the horrible background. What a strange mixture and antic and surrealistic style ! Anyway, interesting. Congrats. Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted May 3, 2004 Good combination of reality and PS, Pedro. As one that is "combating" now with enlarged PS ,you do wonders.! Pnina Link to comment
