markonestudios 4 Posted April 9, 2008 This is one of my earliest 'fashion' shots and one of my all-time favourite images. I've reworked it a bit here (including a different crop) What do you think of it in this 'new guise'? Link to comment
jennifercatron 9 Posted April 9, 2008 Great shot. Play with your lights, to create a more dramatic more alive shot. Right now your lighting is flat, by using less light, and more directed light you will pull out someone's true personality. I am asking everyone today to please get into the critique forum to judge and rate the pot. We can't keep submitting our work and having it judged, if noone is willing to do the judging and the critiquing. Believe it or not it draws people to your gallery, you get to meet some great artists, and your work is critiqued and commented on more often. Some of you may feel like you aren't good enough to critique others work, but this is a forum to see what the general public and artists think of our work. It's a place that helps us learn to be better, and everyone's opinion counts. Please make this place what it used to be, by taking on the honor code, if you submit work to be critiqued, then give pn thirty minutes to rate other's work, it gives you ideas, it helps you identify what you like and don't like in a picture, and it will help you develop into the greatest artist you can be.

alberta_pizzolato 21 Posted April 9, 2008 The composition is wonderful and your model is quite lovely. The hat works well here. IMO, her facial expression is out of context with the rest of the composition. She looks very tentative, not at all happy. I see this result frequently from my granddaughter, Tricia. And there's nothing you can do except shoot her again. Once in a while I'm able to use PhotoShop's smudge tool to gently push up on the corner of the mouth and "force" a smile. Mostly, I reshoot. I love your work and have utmost respect for it and hope you take this comment constructively. Cheers ~ Link to comment
markonestudios 4 Posted April 10, 2008 Alberta, I definitely take that as constructive! My main reasons for requesting comments and crituiques is to help me improve. I'm really disappointed that lately this has not been the case; many ratings and few comments. I find I'm spending more time in the learning forums, helping to answer others' questions. Thanks for taking the time to stop, look and write :) Link to comment
alecee 0 Posted May 6, 2008 Mark, I like the sepia tone and the rendering is pretty good. Pro work. Link to comment
