meaningless?? what the hell!?!? maybe meaningless to you. dang.

you're a furry!! nooo

..........

Beautiful tones, great mixture of softness, sharpness and texture, interesting composition, etc etc. I can't find any flaws.

 

Are you selling? Hehe.

Great composition, but you went overboard with the sharpening (and it does not seem like it was your purpose in the picture) and burning. When burning human skin too much (in color) the results start looking grayish and strange. Excess digital sharpening makes the noise of the pic come out too much, and also excess "fake pixels".

Hey Christian, where can I get a 50mm normal lens for my old yashica fx3??

CROP!!!!!!!!!!!

is the green cast intentional?

"perhaps you should have got a few of your mates to body surf through the tube next to you holding lighting, reflectors, and softboxes!"

 

Good one Doug!

 

I am in favor of your crossprocessing choice. The border, well, I don't mind it.

A HUGE frame for a tiny picture.

eso no es un reflejo es otro cordon fuera de foco. The out of focus strings are part of the whole ambience. Stop being so anal.

I am not anti softness at all, but just in case let me see if I can upload a sharp one.

Akbar, thou'rt are a loser.

hahahaha :p

Ruby, what a dorky comment.

Oh oh. I love the picture myself... the lighting, the subject isolation through use of DOF (and think the IR choice was a very good one), but I sense a lot of "not worthy of POW" comments coming. Brace yourselves, I hope I'm wrong.

While I enjoy the image as it is, I also noticed that if you open it in Photoshop, and hit autocontrast, it stays EXACTLY THE SAME. This is because the white borders 'confuse' photoshop.

 

However, if one removes the borders (via cropping) and hits autocontrast again, the contrast boosts up automatically. What this makes me believe is that the image's original (medium) contrast is caused by the borders, and not necessarily because it was the photographer's vision.

 

P.S. Im not suggesting border-cropping, I like the borders.

Great timing.

"Close down your lens to get more depth of field, so that the lamp shade falls into focus."........ is the type of comment you should ignore (in the likely event someone would dare say it). Great, great job. I love the composition, especially the way the lamp shade is cropped, and of course your now-becoming-a-trademark subtle nonflash light. I think you could maybe sell this as a stock photo to the local magazines.

The mixture of the angle, softness of focus, effect of light on the colors, and composition make this one almost painterly. The soft/subtle/muted greens and purples, and that hint of yellow/orange/peach from the skin tones accentuates the effect.

 

Imagine it as a painting and not a photograph and you'll see what I mean.

Bravo! Bold composition, eerie atmosphere, excellent softness. Keep practicing your natural/low light, it's coming along great.

I was wondering if this is cross processed?

Now that's one great moment. Great use of the softening.

"i've achieved a similar effect but you may want to try something in the shot as a reference so the reflection is more noticeable. Beautiful shot though"

Then it would be boring. All information given, nothing to decipher.

Great eye, man. I hope to develop mine similarly.
