Very good, I knew this image before and I'm glad to see it on photo.net

I'm very disapointed by this POW... The framing isn't very special, the play with textures is OK but I find the overall image quite commmon. Sorry Mary. Maybe it is just me but the photo doesn't look inspiring, which, to me, one key issue in the choise of POWs.

I'm not surprised that you like Polaroid, as you're always experimenting with the various photo films ;) !

 

Having browsed this folder, I've enjoyed the combination of blurry pictures, together with the strange colors of polaroid. I feel that these kind of shots are best viewed in series - a problem I've often felt on on-line communities as people only consider pictures separetely.

 

To me, this one is the most interesting image. Yet, maybe more "classical" than others, I enjoy its mysterious serinity.

Good shot and perfect lightning, congratulations!

Levitating stuff done in Photoshop often get good feedback: I've done one once just for fun and was surprised how many positive comments I got (while I found the image wasn't worth them: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=1584827 )

Back to your picture, I really enjoy the deformation of the room, this adds an interesting perspective to the shot.

This is a very intereting image, the flare's colors add a truly unique point of view! I love it!

 

I think that you can do plenty of tests with the framing (as the background is white). Maybe a more "diagonal" version for a more dynamic image?

 

PS: Thanks for your note on my work BTW :)

What an interesting doll-face image! Some of the pics in this series look a little scarying to me :)

 

The model reminds me of Christina Ricci BTW.

 

PS: Thanks for your comments on my work :)

I love the framing :) ! Nice pic.

Interesting! I do agree: better details in the face would enhance this image.

I'm not sure about Avisheh's interepretation but this is indeed an interesting image - despite the washed-out woman's face.

I think that this is your most interesting image. I'm not too keen on the background, though, I would have prefered it more symetric (the bright left side doesn't match the darker right side). Hope this helps :)

Funny! I find the blue on the top left a little distractive, though.

Lightning makes everything. I enjoy the framing and the toning too. Well done! I rarely find kid pics original ;) !

Nice soft look, but you skin blurring might be too pronouced as you said. Try to reduce it and add a little noise to the blurred area (around 0.6% of gaussion noise). Try it! That's what I'm usually doing, and the result is way more realistic. Hope this helps :)

Nice use of contrast but I feel that the white window merges too much with the white background. I might try a thin black frame to prevent this.

Really interesting composition. I like the colors too.

This is a very intriguing and complex image. The bird makes everything for me. Very well done! Maybe somem more saturation?

My favourite of yours: original pose and very soft atmosphere. The fountain's texture adds some moer interest. Great!

How Great! This image is an incredible illustration of the "wait for the right moment" rule. The composition is amazing!

 

Marc's proposition is also interesting but I find this one way more impressive.

Cette dernière photo d'Ydna est vraiment très bonne ! Bravo !

 

This latest picture of Ydna is really good! Congrats!

That's really great, I love the image, and the way you are taking them is fantastic. My congratulations!

Very nice cropping, I like it! Maybe the light is too strong on the right side of her face, otherwise, it's an eye-catcher. My congratulations!

That's really nice. Texture and colors are Magrittesque, but there is your own touch of originality in this shot. Now that you've proved that you're very talented, I really encourage you to find your own style (like in this shot, or in "No entry (031)" (another neat idea)), so that you can get rid of this "a la Magritte" feeling and give way to a "a la Ben Goosens" label ;-). I know, it's easier to say than to do! Good luck!

So Magrittesque! It's a great work which ressembles what RICHARD DESMARAIS is presenting here. I however find it less original than your "Strange influence 1 (12)" in the same folder, as this one "only" copies some Magritte's key elements (but it a great way). Nevertheless it is still great!

My congratulations!

I hope that you'll continue developing your own vision and share these pictures with us.

This is a great picture, my congratulations! It really deserves a 10/10! Great tones, framing and expression. My only complain would maybe be the fingers which are cropped. But it is still high quality work. Great!

Great picture! I really have the feeling of "being there", that's wonderful! The composition is well balanced, it for sure required some talent to shoot five persons at the same time. You can surely be proud of this shot!
