marc1 0 Posted October 26, 2001 with your previous shot like this one, i would replace the coloured leaves to black and white, just a thought, stil your wonderful eyes still shine through whatever the composition, well done Link to comment
lorraine 0 Posted December 23, 2001 Self-portrait, "Eyes" ...This was first done as a regular self- portrait, and then I scanned it with leaves over it. What do you think? I know, it is weird, but I was experimenting. Lorraine Foster Link to comment
raymond_plischke 0 Posted December 23, 2001 Sorry doesn't work for me. Too 'square', and POF seem to be the leaves, not the eyes. Leaves appear to be 'in the way', if you know what I mean, too close to the face. Anyway, my 2 cents. regards Raymond Link to comment
ken_thalheimer 3,739 Posted December 24, 2001 I think the leaves distract from the beautiful blue eyes Link to comment
jud cuttino 0 Posted December 24, 2001 I think the leaves could be de-focused (blurred) and the eyes would then be the main focal point. Link to comment
james_watt 0 Posted December 24, 2001 I agree with the previous comments about throwing the leaves out of focus to accentuate the eyes, however, if the idea of the shot were to be used as an adverstising shot, perhaps lilac leaves/flowers to advertise a new type of makeup, then the leaves might just do well as is. In either case, the concept is well done, and yes, the eyes are quite beautiful. Very much so... Keep up the good work! Link to comment
jonathancharlesphoto 2 Posted December 29, 2001 Interesting colour contrast which my photo with a similar theme: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=411060 ... doesn't have. I don't see how you got the leaves there - are they stuck on your face or a glass screen or what? Anyway a striking result. Link to comment
jonathancharlesphoto 2 Posted December 29, 2001 You asked for suggestions: I would make the most of the colour by increasing the contrast and sharpening the eyes like this. Link to comment
gsv 0 Posted December 30, 2001 For my taste these leaves' decoration gives a too artificial effect and all together reminds me to the headgear of a moslem woman. If you wanted this effect it would be better to use a scarf, dress it how moslems do, and shoot the pic one more time. An other suggestion: if you partly wanted to hide yourself to provocate curiosity ---why not shooting the pic in an appropriate natural surrounding. Link to comment
