I like the photo. The pose is well done. I like the cropping and framing elements with the hair. I like the creativity shown in the shallow depth of focus. Excellent focus on the eyes make this shallow depth of focus work. On the negative side of the shallow depth of focus is the necklace. The pendant is a complicated piece that the eye wants to view clearly. The fact that the pendant is blurred distracts from the face. I am not sure about the exposure... in addition to the shadowy lighting, the darkness leaches the color, leaving a monochrome except for the cosmetics around the eyes. I think it would have been better a plain black and white.

I like the intensity. Is the male subject wearing prison stripes on purpose?Are you making a political comment about recidivism of ex-cons, and the persistent behavior of sexual predators? Very thought provoking!

That idea of a sixty foot fiddle is why my earlier post is question marks. Is this a photo of a giant fiddle, or a macro close-up of a violin posed against a sky focused at infinity? A little ctitical thinking would make the viewer realize that a scale built 20 meter fiddle would require strings as large as bridge cables, and fretwork the size of automobile wheels. The detail of this piece is just too perfect an example of the violin makers craft to be a giant model. -
Nery nice. It is hard to find original ways to photograph flowers, but this is both original and very well done!

Impressive photo. I particularly like the way it crosses the boundry and reaches out of the frame. I will remember this technique! -

Lovely portrait, Excellent lighting and exposure! How can you tell she is smiling? -
If you are trying to show the symmetry, then be certain that the crop and visible arch matches on all four sides. As it exists, the top of the image is cropped closer than the bottom.

Water??? If the water is that color, I would think it dangerous to drink! Tea maybe.

Interesting concept. Sort of a 1950's super hero comic book kind of image. Technically I think lightening the face so that the face becomes the focal point would improve the image. As it exists, the details of the left side of the model's face (image right, model left)are lost in shadow. When I look at the image I end up looking at her boobs and her belly button (excuse the vernacular, please) not her face. The shadowing of the hip and groin are neat ways to make the model look slimmer, and also to emphasize her pudenda without making it a blatant camel-toe. (again, please excuse the vernacular) Emphasizing by obscurring is a well proven technique used by both artists and women since the beginning of time. *G* -
IMHO the value of this photo lies in it's context. As a stand alone photo, it is cropped too tight to show the whole story. When the back story/context of a photo made at a craft show is added, it makes much more sense. It would work well as a photo in a publicity booklet for a craft fair, but it does not tell the story alone. Technically, it is well exposed wifh adequately deep field of focus. The composition is otherwise adequate, but not exceptional.

Interesting mix of cultures. Upper class Japanese? Peasant class Laotian or Vietnamese? Both in South Korea. None of these cultures are particularly racially tolerant. What is the back story? -
Two of the greatest empires in history (ancient Babylon and the Ottoman empire) grew from the same roots. Both honored and revered knowledge, and developed great schools of architecture, mathematics, art and philosophy. It is so very hard to understand how the descendents of these great civilizations are now burning schools, bombing marketplaces, destroying mosques, and seem determined to eliminate all traces of civil society. Sorry, I guess I have crossed the line between photography and political commentary. Suffice it to say that it takes a civil society and an educated man to design and build a masterpiecs like this mosque.

This photo or style of photo would make a great shot as an advertisement for either the pearls (jewelry), or the lipstick (cosmetics). If advertising the pearls drop the sweater a bit (or use a shorter strand) and show the whole pearl strand. If selling the lipstick, try reducing the color saturation in the main photo and brightening the color of the lipstick. Lovely skin tones! Very creative shot!! -
I can imagine the story of an aging gentleman looking at his beloved wife, but seeing her not as an old woman, but as the young beauty he fell in love with. "Love sees with the heart".
On a more technical note, was the image on the glasses, or added in PS after the image was captured?

If you manually focused this photo then you really can say you did it on purpose. If you use a camera with autofocus to take a photo through a window, the autofocus mechanism will often focus on the dust or debris on the glass instead of the distant object that your eye sees. I don't know how many blurred photos of dusty glass and raindrops I made before I learned to manually set the focus on infinity when shooting through a pane of glass.

Interesting use of color...Obviously a modified image, but very striking and eye catching...The use of focus is good.
