Learn to see color. Look works of painter

ipressionist and Post-Impressionists. Especially the work of Matisse.

I think I would have to go with Michael J. The flowers do not work with this photo.

You just say, like the color or not, but there are laws. You and Michael J do not not represent what is cromatics . I am sure you have read the book. Book on cromatics - Itten, Johannes: Kunst der Farbe (Studienausgabe), 1970 Ravensburger.

Johannes Itten (1888–1967)

Author of The Elements of Color

 

I'm sorry Michael and Donald, I am with Rudolph here. The model's body could be seen as a triangular frame, supporting and connecting the three main points of interest - the face and the two vases of flowers. Wonderful composition. Perhaps could be improved by moving the rear flowers slightly to the right, and turning them so the red and orange are more visible. Just my humble reading of the image so far. Still looking for what Ruldolph may be really saying here.

 

Cheers, Cliff.

I have to side with Rudolf's wisdom here... further born out by his other works. When I simply hold up my fingers to block out the flowers, the image becomes naked. I pull my fingers away, and it pops again.

 

I feel Rudolf has a keen sense for color and composition, coupled with a unique ability to pose his models so comfortably, you'd think they had their clothes on.

 

I love everything about this image... the lighting, the pose, and the use of color and composition.

Rudolf ask for our Critique on what we think, what our opinion of the photo is. That's all we did was give our opinion as did others. Rudolf should take it as that, our opinion and not be so rude when we give what he asked for. Everyone likes different photos for different reason. Sorry if we hurt you, don't ask for people to critique your photos and then when they do be rude to them, it's just their opinion that you asked for.

Dear Donald Worden .

Always waiting for constructive criticism. Where should talk about composition, balance of color in space, about the production of light ....

But do not just say: you like or do not like, to be or not.

Sincerely, Rudolf

A most charming image of a woman happy in repose... I like this I do!
