goulden 0 Posted July 6, 2004 would prefer to see a bit more of her face and i think it needs a slight crop to the top. But great lighting, location and muted colours Link to comment
matthew_s._schwartz 0 Posted July 6, 2004 I too would prefer a tighter crop so I can see her face a little more, but maybe that's not what you're going for. Love the muted tones. BTW -- This photo was exposed on October 10, 2004? Now THAT is impressive! ;-) Link to comment
jerry_d 0 Posted July 6, 2004 This picture works for me for several reasons. I like the burned-in effect, the dark borders that focus the eye in the center. Also the green dress versus the grays. The next thing is the construction: the verticle and horizontal members versus the diagonal of the railing and here gaze. The structural elements keep my eye moving around ... a tension versus the focus on the center that keeps moving my eye back. Cool pic. Link to comment

thomas_collins1 0 Posted July 6, 2004 I like this very much. It is somber and moody. Great color and composition. I hate to say this, but the dark spot on the wall above her head is distracting IMHO. Link to comment
david_solomon 0 Posted July 7, 2004 Stands out in the crowd. Would make some suggestions but, but I like what you did with it. Link to comment
jay_philbrick 0 Posted July 7, 2004 Excellent image. Great setting and I really like the diagonal extension of the woman and the stairs. Nice use of darker edges and corners to focus on the subject. The colors and exposure give a "painted" effect to the photo. Great job. Link to comment
jimknowles 0 Posted July 7, 2004 Here, the dress is definiitely the subject. The environment is the perfect contrast to the softer dress & woman, as it is with so many of your images. You've composed the image so as to use existing lines to divide the frame into golden thirds .. then you've placed your subject's body so as to dissect the right-hand "third" verticle line. Her arm is bent in such a way as to extend the line of the stair rail. Facing upwards, she poses a natural flow as if she were about to ascend the ladder. The model's skin tones match quite well with the background wall; she forms a symmetrical base of the heart shape there with the crook of her arm. The light is so perfect that were you able to duplicate this in a studio, you'd have work booked for a decade. No doubt, you've found your own niche in Denmark using the out-of-doors. Even in this small view, it's clear the model's face is beautiful; that her full beauty remains a mystery is particularly all right as the dress / gown is the real subject here. Yet the wide veiw is necessary to get the full impact of the dress and the photograher's story about it. Truly a perfect fashion photograph. And an exquisite work of art! Oh yes; and the red hair is the cherry on top! Link to comment
maramez 0 Posted July 8, 2004 Hi, i love the photo. i'm kind of curious to see what she's looking at... i love the contrast between the elegance of her dress and hair, and the drabness of the setting. the lighting looks great too. i dig! Link to comment

frank_dorosy 0 Posted November 25, 2004 Excellent shot! I think the lighting is perfect and so is the composition. Did you colorize or enhance the color at all? Link to comment
