comments/critiques, thanks

Is it purposely that you cut the arm ?, if you just let a few blck on th right, my eye won't be disturbed as it is now.

Very nice shoot anyway, just too like a bra-add to be original.

A very good lighting in this picture. The model's pose is quite natural ... but why did you cut her elbow ?

I cut out her elbow because I'm dumb (ok, maybe not dumb but impatient) and sometimes dont use a tripod. I've been taught to crop in the camera and I got a little too close and cut into her arm, there are tons of other "good" photos with her elbow in but I love the hands in this image so much that I had to post it. Thanks for your comments.

oh great and very crazy photo!! I like your photo !!

Very Good picture, well done David ,congratulations!!!

One must not be dumb to create such a picture, don't be too hard on yourself ... ;-)

 

(By the way, the picture is beautiful as is, I wonder if the cut was intentional or not ... could have been an effect on purpose) ...

Its funny, I never really thought about it but if you look at alot of my work, I do crop into the arms quite a bit. I guess it is just a subconsious style? I do know that I like my models to look "cramped" like there isn't enough paper to fit them on, but at the same time I LOVE a ton of negative space. Who knows, I just do what I think looks best to me.

Cool shot, I wish her right arm is in the frame.

The dangling hair makes this photo appear cluttered. Overall the pose, clothing and hair gives this a sloppy appearance.

Stephen thanks for the critique, I respect your opinion however I disagree with you about the sloppy appearance. I may respect your opinion more if I could see some of your work. Thanks

I love this shot, special the half hidden face of this nice model!

The light from the right add's a lot on the body.

Good B&W tones, great work.

you have to ask yourself one question, is this the best I can do? Nudes are quickly becoming null and void, lacking orignality and imagination. Push yourself to break the mold and come up with something original.

Don, this is my first "nude" shoot so I really just wanted to get a good shot, not re-invent the wheel.

You should check Don's previous comments too ... it seems he is leading a crusade against nudity.

Thanks Lionel, don't you just love those "crusaders." Oh well, I guess everyone thinks they are an expert;)

David, this is a very sensual image, I like it a lot! Unlike from the other comments, I think the cut elbow is not a problem and it does not influence the atmosphere of this picture. 6/6

Hi David, I been off a while. Sure, I do love them ... but not on my path. Over-reacting is never a positive approach to me. BTW, I still like your image very much, and although you do not seem to consider yourself as an expert, I have noted a few details that make me think you did plan this image a little. Backlit, front soften light ... everything is technically perfect. I mean also the black-empty space ! I hope I could do as good. Cheers-

No matter how much I like one of my images I can always find somthing that I could have improved on, I guess that is just the way it goes. I have confidence in my abilitys as a photographer, I'm just not much of a business man and I hate tooting my own horn. IE: I would never submit anything under "Fine Art" I feel that it is not for me to decide if my work is Fine Art or not, that is for the viewer to decide. Plus, a lot of what I do is commercial and anyone who tries to tell you that commercial photography/ Fashion photography is art needs to get their head examined.

I like this shot, Congrats, I'd be proud of it. It does seem like you have a love affair with cropping. You may have developed a style! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work.
