All I can say is WOW! and that I hope to see more soon! Bye for now.

I love the hands and feet and the way the water is beaded up - did you use oil? The shiny dark floor is great too. I just had to stop and look closer - then - is that his butt in the background?? It looks like he's sitting with his knees folded up and has a zit on his butt. Please - say it isn't so!

Great shot! I really like the composition.

The tonal range is fine, but the pose looks a little strained with the wrists crossed over.

I agree with John McLaine. This shot doesn't quite make it. It seems a bit too contrived and it's a bit too busy compositionally. The viewer's eye doesn't quite know on what to focus. I think it has potential that needs to be explored further.

This is just my idea, take it or leave it; crop in much tighter. This will make the shot more abstract and may address the previous comments

about the unnatural pose (and the butt comment). I don't know how you are inclined towards photoshop but I would be tempted to dodge the

vertical edges of the picture a bit to focus the eye even more directly on the hands and away from the background which is a little bright. Nice

idea and execution though. Regards - Martin

Thanks a lot but NO THANKS, I will stick with the original crop.

i feel alot from this pic. a kind of human transformation. i like it....

Breath taking. Love your croping and perfect execusion of zone system.

I love the D.O.F. and water. Very nice work.

I like this shot. Personally, I don't find it that unnatural a pose - I can imagine sitting tensly at the side of a pool crouched in more or less that way - and I like the lighting and the water. The highlight on the left arm looks a bit blown out, if I have to nitpick. Nice photo.

 

Your whole folder is a very,very good work.You're an excellent photographer!!Regards,M.

excellent.you are very good photographer.please looking my picture.thank you

Salut Andre. Love this picture, love the focus too. could you tell me more about the lighting used? Natural from left and big spot from right? any flash? Thanks! ///A

I used a total of six modeling lights on a idividually controled down to zero watts dimmer.

Main light was position 45 degree to the right and about 30 degree below the feet stand level. Accent light were surrounding the model just to balance the shadows..

Yes! at least a photographer thinking that human feet are lovely and photogenic ! Very nice photo !

Why so many people want to crop pictures, maybe they don't see what the photographer saw, the two diagonals leading to the subject are essential to the graphism of this picture,At least it's my opinion

Otherwise croping for croping maybe one toe is enough (the small one of course)

Witch one? I don't know.

 

A nicelly composed and detailed photograph. seen ur folder, no need to say that you are a good photographr. kindly see my folder and guide me with your experience. thans

both crops work for me. the tighter one accentuates the hands and make them look stronger. it looks like a picture of a dancer

Good work. This a photo impact.

Wonderful lighting and mood, Great image!

The color and moisture remind me of wet clay, This photo is original & elegant.

wow
