I'd like to hear your first impressions about what this item is.

Just wondering if this will grab someone's eye.

 

Please rate or leave a comment to let me know you stopped by.

 

Thank you,

Jacob

I agree, it doesn't show the proper articulation of a spine in such a pose. Also, the spine stops at the bottom of her neck. If the spine image is an overlay, it should go all the way to the bottom of her skull.

 

Interesting image though, despite the anatomical mistakes. I'm a chiropractic student, and it captured my eye.

100mm Macro on a 1.6 crop digital camera... Makes depth of field

difficult to manage. This was taken at f/16. I didn't want to take

one at f/22 for some reason, I guess I figured it wouldn't have made

the image any more sharp.

 

This situation is one reason why I want a 50mm macro, but the 100mm

does double duty for me, so I can't justify ANOTHER macro lens...

I think this is a momento, or trophy, from an interesting night this person had. There is another image in his portolio taken in the same location and taken very near the same time I'm sure, and that image shows another woman on the bed in a similar state of undress.

 

Although women are beautiful, and each has something special about them that might seem very well deserving of a photograph to the man behind the camera, I have to agree with the other posters. While speaking as a male I can say the view is nice, but the images don't showcase anything along the lines of the art that the female nude is capable of.

 

While the two images do tell a story and say something about a particular moment in time - they are much better suited to a personal collection and offer very little contribution to the nudes gallery.

 

At the very least, and on a constructive note, the image did provoke some people. I feel one of the responsibilities of a photograph is to inspire SOMETHING in a viewer, even if it is disgust or hatred. That would be better than a totally uninspiring image...

Interesting.

 

 

 

Stained Glass, or upskirt crotch shot stretched out vertically from the center?

As far as image quality, this one doesn't look too sharp for some

reason. I thought I had the focus right, but it seems fuzzy.

 

Am I seeing things?

Very tranquil.

 

The mole/freckle above the scapular spine on the left side adds some tension as it draws the eye to the only unconformity in the image.

Does the ant in the upper left have two butts?

Saw this in a butterfly garden.

The curve of the model on the left side of the image... from armpit to knee...

 

Very sensual.

I do declare; I get messages from above when looking at candles.

What's the symbol above the words supposed to be?

I noticed these flowers absolutely glow at a certain time of the

afternoon, so I took a picture. Is the background too much of a

distraction? I tried to blur it, but my 100mm only opens up to

f/3.5 so you can still figure out what is going on in the background.

Took this a long time ago and always wondered how it would rate

here. Please tell me how you feel.

This is a crop of a larger image. I like the composition, but the

anal guy in me wants to know if the focus is cool. The entire

flower isn't incredibly sharp, but I wanted to emphasize the inside

of the flower more than the entire flower. I didn't notice that

part of the cloth would be on the same focal plane as what I focused

on inside the flower, and now I notice part of the fabric is just a

little bit too in focus.

 

Is that too much of a detractor, or is it even noticeable before I

point it out?

Noticed this and got sucked into it. Not so much because it looked

a certain way, but because it seemed to be speaking to me about the

struggles we all deal with. It really seemed to drive home the idea

of the Yin Yang: a little bit of Bad in a whole lot of Good, and a

little bit of Good in a whole lot of Bad. Anybody feel that it says

the same to you?

I like the mood that the expression creates but the missing top of her head takes away.

More blur of the background would have made this image stronger. Good job at nabbing an interesting expression... not a typical plastic "smile for the camera" look.

I had noticed over several days that this candle's wick was burning

strangely compared to others of the same type. It seemed odd to me

and captured my attention several times. Eventually I figured out

why it was so captivating - I could see a man's face in the wick,

complete with a chin, a casual smile, spaces for his nose and eyes,

an obvious brow, a forehead and huge ears. At first I thought he

was just a laid back dude, but then I had the strange feeling that

this is what we might look like burning in Hell. The oversized ear

suggested it to me, as if it were swelling in the heat and melting

off his head.

I'm not sure if the smaller rose helps or not. Half the time I'm looking at it and ignoring the bigger one, half the time its the other way around. It does seem to be a focal point of the composition, especially the way the petals on the larger one seem to train the eye to look at it, but the large one is so nicely captured I'd like to see it all by itself. Not to say there is anything wrong with the shot here, this is a great picture. Great use of light and great exposure, you can see texture and detail in the whole thing - highlights and shadows. Good job!

Ed - Funny you say that. The cake picture jumped right out at me as well. I'm glad to hear you didn't use flash. Call me a nut, but I absolutely hate flash, in any situation. If I can't shoot it in whatever light is available, I just don't shoot it. I like shooting that way myself but it will probably keep me from becoming anything close to a real photographer. Glad to hear you've turned something you're good at and enjoy into a paying job. I myself would feel as if I had been made King of the world the day I earn my first dollar as a photographer...

Incredibly sharp. I'm assuming this is a croped portion of a larger composition? If so, I think the only thing that could have made this one better would have been to remove the lower third of this crop and place the eye closer to the left side of the frame to leave more open space in between the beak and the right side of the frame. That would have given the composition a rectangle with the long side on the horizontal and a feeling of the bird looking at something, whereas right now I get a sense I'm supposed to pay more attention to the head behind the eye, the neck and top of the breast. If you can, please shoot me an email and let me know where this bird place is as I live in O'Fallon near St. Louis, I have a 400mm for my Canon 10D and would love to shoot a bird like this!

I'm no expert, and for sure have far less to show off compared to your collection, but after seeing some of the very nice examples in your portfolio this one seems to be a departure from what you are capable of. Its a little blurry and I personally think that takes away from the moment, but others may think it is a nice effect. For an indoors shot I think you did a great job getting the exposure you did as the detail throughout is nice, with the exception of a few highlights. A closer view of the couple would be nice as I find myself more interested in the colors of the window, the arch, the collums and the wall the cross is on. Seeing the bridesmaids also makes me want to look elsewhere in the composition, as does the vent in the wall on the right. A telephoto would have been nice here, but I'm sure you didn't want to seem intrusive with a tripod and couldn't take shots with the long exposure times in the indoor light. Maybe the low light is responsible for the blur? At any rate, I'm sure the couple would like a copy.

I saw this at the end of my backyard and had to run to the house for

the camera. The flower is roughly 120 yards away from my backdoor

and the afternoon light was fading fast. I actually wasn't fast

enough to get it in sunlight before the sun dropped behind the house

and took the good light away.
