I don't know. I can't help feeling that this shot is over or poorly processed. It has digital all over it and that really takes away from what could be a good shot. I'd redo the processing and make it look more natural.

Given the model, the background and especially the jeans I have a feeling more could have been done with it. None the less you've captured some real stunner here. I would love to see some larger prints of these.

 

just let me know what you think of this one. Thanks for looking...

thanks Jorge, but this was captured on Portra VC color film and then converted in PS. That works very very though as you can see, the print is just fantastic. Cheers

some of your shots are absolutely stunning, thanks for sharing

ooohh please Francesco, give me break. Post the full file somewhere so I can download it and view it. That would proof it beyond a shadow of a doubt.

 

As for the facts, that area in Tuscany has been photographer often and I've never ever ever seen anything remotely looking like your moon landscape there. Not in photographs, not in real live. It looks more like the mont ventoux.

Your a great photographer and a great model as well. However some of your shots are too digital / tinkered for my taste. Your straight shots and straight b/w conversion are top notch and the photography has a Peter Lindbergh sort of feel to it. Your overdigitized shots such as this, although still nice, come no further then a K-mart postcard sort of level. Keep up the good work though and apply PS with judgement. I would love to see more shots of other models to see how you would do with modeling them. If that is anywhere near as good as some of your selfportraits ....

a 1/1 rating on what seems to be a nice shot at first glance deserves an explenation. This shot a fake landscape shot. It reminds me most of the type of landbackgound I used to have for my Marklin model trains as a kid.

 

The shot in itself ain't all bad, delibarately trying confuse people and passing it of for real it just bad humour I guess. Yesterday I still thought it was funny and believed you would reveal the truth today, but the joke is getting old now, hence the 1/1

Serignan, South of France 2003

Well I like it!

not my thing

better then the other two, it has a point but it can be more direct

i really don't get it. if you wanna show nudity then show nudity. whats the relation between the woman and the background? placing her in there makes it look like your shortcuting to creativite artistic nudity. you obviously are technically capable so no need for this shortcutting.

needs better sharping /focus

works well as a series

well done

her smile is great

Boy, now we have to explain why we like what we like...

 

sharp, well balanced lighting, great tonality, good expresion, nice composition, perfect excecution

I've looked at this for some time too see if the out of focus add or detracts from the picture. For me it is a disturbance

out of focus, shame really

i find the top a bit too blown out for my taste. it would have made the shot better. next time use a grad filter.

its BIIIIGGGGG

would have preferred a bit more detail in the shadows on the right but a nice shot

bit grainy for my taste, but skillfully done. flare is not obtusive but adds to the shot

thing with these macro flower shots is that they have to be really exceptionally well done in order to be good. In this case it falls short on the background and sharpness.
