Patient Model 4

aah, great ! SEE MY MUSCLES ??? hehe

I don't recognize myself here... really. A veeeery very nice photo, Flo !!! All of them ! I'll write on some in a while ... :)

Florian,

 

Before I comment on your photo, I'd like agree with the comments in your bio. Photo.net does seem to be full of pats-on-the-back for stuff that's pretty good, but not special. I use Photo.net to test images for my portfolio, and if an image isn't that great - I want to know about it!!!! And I certainly want to know why it doesn't work.

 

So...to your feedback.

 

This image caught my eye because of the composition and the unusual pose. I find taking pictures of people to be particularly challenging because I have difficulty coming up with interesting poses, so it's good to see what others do.

 

Compositionally, it's good because the eye moves from the top-leftish corner to the right bottom corner (because of the angle of the tree).

 

It's a pity the eye isn't lead to something of interest though - the shore doesn't hold that much for the viewer. I'm not sure what could have gone in this space though...

 

The subject's upper body seems to be a little more softer than the rest of the image - was she moving?? Would have been better a little sharper.

 

Maybe this image would have worked a little better if the frame were a little tighter on the subject.

 

If you're not averse to changing things in Photoshop, I would remove the two branches in the top let-hand corner.

 

I really like the backgound - nice and simple with nothing to catch the eye inappropriately.

 

One last thing...the title suggests that it was a photoshoot - and not an event. Give it a little more mysterious or suggestive title to give the viewer a sense of what you were trying to portray.

 

For what its worth...

 

6 for originalty due to unexpected pose.

5 for aethetics, because it's good, but not great.

Forgot to put a request on this old one here... Please tell me what

you think about this photo...

and yes nice muscles, great technique.

This is a very original pose but I wish it was either a full length shot that included her feet, or cropped in a square format starting just above her waist and to the top of her hands. I don't think my critique will mean very much however because you are clearly in a league well above mine.
