davidmccracken 2 Posted August 17, 2004 I would be interested to know if you think something is missing from this shot. I have tried various crops but just can't improve on this untouched version. Your thoughts appreciated! Link to comment
wilsontsoi 0 Posted August 18, 2004 David, I'd say go even further and crop off the left side (all the background and right eye,) and get a square crop. It'll be almost like an abstract (showing only the cropped face,) yes? Link to comment
davidmccracken 2 Posted August 18, 2004 Wilson, call me strange if you want, but I love to keep the aspect ratio of all my photos the same....... even if I crop them. So I can't do the square crop! Is there any hope for me? Thanks for looking! Link to comment
pitman 0 Posted August 18, 2004 I like it a lot, i would find it very difficult to improve this. Link to comment
davidmccracken 2 Posted August 18, 2004 I like the idea of this but I am far from happy with the image. However, I posted it as it perplexes me. I was looking for reactions. Thanks for taking the time to look! Link to comment
wilsontsoi 0 Posted August 18, 2004 Well then, how about darken perimeter slightly, lighten the eye area, give colors and brightness to the eye, and crop a bit tighter so eye is further off to the right a bit? May or may not work. Your original is still good, my friend. ^_^ Link to comment
davidmccracken 2 Posted August 18, 2004 That PS thing again! Naturally I do like what you have done. I guess I was too busy playing with the crop to try anything else! Thanks. Link to comment
florianabarbu 0 Posted August 18, 2004 "How can a photo this good be so easily missed!" Is this an irony?! You are funny?! Link to comment
davidmccracken 2 Posted August 18, 2004 I was having coffee with a friend! She asked me if I had seen your photo. I hadn't, yet it was still in the critique section. My comment was not meant to be funny but if it made you laugh..... I am happy! Regards Link to comment
florianabarbu 0 Posted August 18, 2004 Well David ,is about irony not about fun! Bay the way,I like your eyes;is profesional done (no irony).You ask what missing...well is missing the nose! Regards! Link to comment
davidmccracken 2 Posted August 18, 2004 I will convey your message to the model and ask her if I can photograph her nose. (Her nose can be seen in my previous upload!) Genuine thanks!!! Link to comment
