Balance of Justice

 

Women and shoes!

 

Feedback appreciated.

 

nice shot

Very nice. I like her direct look into the lens and the detail in her hair. I like the upper arms held slightly away from her body, allowing us to see the curves. I like her piercings, too. It's the quality of work we've come to expect from you, David.

Ernest, Thanks.

 

Jim, I am glad you like it although I fear expecting quality work might be a little optimistic although I will endeavour to please. She was a lovely model to photograph. I hope I can photograph her again in the future. Thanks a lot.

Nice to see you again, beautiful. Ed

Thanks!

I particularly like the color. I also like the tilted "scales" and balanced shoes, it is a good idea, and a good execution.

I like that the model doesn't look like a "model". The shoe color really works against her skin color. The lighting looks simple but still provides separation of her hair and the well chosen background. My favorite small touch is the necklace. It is such a contrast but really works.

Jim, I am glad that you like the this in colour. I was going to upload the b&w version. Strangely I feel the model works better in b&w but the shoes work better in colour. Self praise is no praise but I do like this one myself. Thanks a lot.

 

Mark, Much of what I said to Jim could be applied to you. I am not sure about the model not looking like a model. However, I am glad you like it.

The contrast is stronger in the color version. This causes more visual tension. This keeps the viewers eyes moving from her face to the shoes which are the key elements of the composition (this is obviously intended because of the title) . The nudity provides some additional visual tension, which keeps the viewer engaged even longer.

Thanks Jim. It is nice to know someone simply understands.
