aldrich 0 Posted May 1, 2009 I made some adjustments from a prior version, which is in the Portrait section of my portfolio if you would like to compare. This is a self-portrait, a result of exploring different positions and strengths of my strobe kit. I am still very new to studio flash. As always, constructive comments, positive and negative, and welcome and appreciated. Ratings are always fun, but comments help us all improve! Thanks for looking! --Ryan Link to comment
aarkp 2 Posted May 2, 2009 I downloaded both images and viewed them side-by-side. I'd say the other one has a softer light and this one harsher. What hit me immediately was that the person in this photograph appeared stronger, the other one mellower. My two cents... Link to comment
aldrich 0 Posted May 3, 2009 Thank you, Rajat! I just sent you an e-mail and didn't realize you had commented on this! I agree with your assessment. The straighter, bolder line between shadow and highlight suggests strength. There isn't a lot of "soft" to this at all. The two versions of this image are my favorite self-portraits, hands down. So far. Oddly enough, the first submission's ratings are significantly higher in originality. Thanks again! --Ryan Link to comment
