Reflection of character!

I can't do anything about the scratches on the reflective pillar.

Personally I like the DoF but I suspect it may be a problem for

some. Your constructive comments and critiques are welcome. Ratings

appreciated too! (I do have more photos of this girl!)

Creative and fun David. I like it!

This is good. She seems to know you but there is a certain amount of doubt in her face, at least in the reflection. Can you give me history on this photo?

I just uploaded this and it has 5 ratings and 2 comments already..... I wanted to add this B&W version for you all to have a look at! In my opinion the colour version is better for this particular photo but I have other photos of this girl where she suits B&W perfectly!

Thanks. I like this too. It was a chance meeting and I feel lucky that I have met her.

You certainly do look at pictures. I feel the 'doubt' as you put it is created by the blur. This girl was full of charm and had character. Interestingly enough this was taken a few minutes after I met her. Maybe you see something in this that I don't. As I have said, I have taken more pictures of her and I am sure I will upload them soon!

 

Thanks!

It's amazing that you came up with this idea after a night of shooting AmeriCANs! I like the color version better since you have some nice skin tone going. ^_^

David:

 

I like this a great deal both in color and black and white. The DOF does not bother me in the least. I agree that you should feel lucky to have met her and I look forward to more work with her.

 

The direction of her eyes directly at you is excellent. Hitchcock would have loved it.

Wilson,

 

I would say that the idea 'hit me.' Coming up with anything after the 'ameriCAN' theme was quite difficult as I am sure you can imagine. She is such a delightful character and fun in front of the camera. Thanks.

 

By the way, I think my next upload will be on a 'can' theme again. I am using empty cans now for the sake of my head.

 

Owen,

 

I was thinking of you when I uploaded the black and white version. Actually because of you, I now look at most of my pictures in black and white. In this case I prefer the colour version as it suits her 'colourful personality.' Thanks for your encouragement.

David:

 

The main thing is to do them the way you like them. My comments are my preference and you are the only one with a vote. If you tire of her as model send her across the pond to me. This is a great image, period.

PS.

 

Nude women are a much more etherial concept than beer cans.

 

-Owen

Yes Owen......... but I see more empty beer cans than naked women!

 

I will take your point to heart though!

Well I come back after some sort of break, and you post THIS!! David, this is the most maazing shot of your whole portfolio! Those pearcing eyes in the reflection... Just can't get enough of it! Can't wait for the next shot of that girl!

'amazing' of course :-)

Still coming back to it...

It almostlooks as if it is a composite of 2 images, the look seems so diffrent on the 2 faces... (not implying at all that it is a composite, just marvelling at the effect)!

Yes, I am jealous of that shot :-)

This is not my favourite Claude but I was aware that it was quite good. I was also aware of the 'composite' feel about the picture. What she is looking into is a round reflective pillar. To the left is the street and to the right is the entrance driveway of a hotel.

 

I am extremely flattered that you would be jealous of this shot. I will upload another shot of this girl soon.

Very cool perspective. I like it a lot! ;-)

If you like it, I guess it must be good. Thanks for looking!

I really like the way the facial expressions of the girl and her reflection differ.

 

Very good work!

Praise indeed Eugene. Thanks for looking. It is one of my favourite photographs.

Great use of the miror/window for the reflections. Love it dear David.

Thank you once again!

Beautifully done, David.

It's good you pointed me to this, I was away and missed it when you posted it. I must that say this is really good, especially with the miror image looking at the camera.

I am humbled John. Thank you.
