    So far you've gotten some rather less-than-intelligent ratings. I think this has very good potential; the vast majority of nudes on this site have a lot of detail, and your overt soft focus makes one focus on the concept, not just the body.
    If possible, I would not crop the hand; there's some energy there and it being cut is rather harsh.
  1. I actually got lost around that area! It is true, there are hardly any people around there, and finding a tram stop was quite a challenge; not a soul that spoke German, or English or French (Spanish was a long shot). Nice shot.

    I think you did a great job of doing something creative with this, since you say the original was "boring". The perspective is very unique, and I like the blown highlights and yet being so "soft". The shadows are nicely done, all with a well-understood erie effect.

    I'm with David, a la Voltaire (pour notres amis Americains: "I may not agree with what you say, but will fight for your right to say it!").

    Very well done. Could this be the dawn of a new phase? Keep it up. Personally, and this does not mean I'm right or anybody else is, many of the other super-high-key contrast were OK, but when you have this style it exalts your creative vision, and this indeed shows you can accomplish things without relying much on filters.
    Try to remember that photography is like music in this sense: learn to play the notes, then forget the notes : )

    Vaya! Algo de mi tierra (yo soy de San Luis Potosí, pero no es mi barrio San Miguelito...)
    Me gusta mucho, pero le hace falta algo, quizás el verde necesita ser un poco más vibrante. De otra manera, muy placentera.

    Congratulations Jennifer! I like this too, perhaps it could use a bit more contrast, but that's just me, it still works.
    You should know that you are lucky to have found some dedicated people who actually help you; I've found that most of the time I attract people who like to rate my stuff because they don't like it, not the other way around (I've had to reload certain pics because of dedicated slammers in the past); that has changed lately, but still I have hardly (with some notable exceptions) had anybody actually give me constructive feedback (whether good or bad, constructive is by far best when you're trying to grow). Treasure it. Again, kudos.
  2. I like it; there is still some room for improvement: a slight crop to remove a little off the left edge, but not before rotating clockwise about a half degree. Commendable for the difficult light, rain and rocking of the boat.

    It is difficult to bring such a tired subject into a fresh idea; many just see a flower, some of us see an execution challenge. This is very good. I love the tonality and composition.
  3. Boy, oh boy...you're in the wrong country, dude. I'm sure not many people in Minnesottah (I'm in da Twin Cities) to say the least even know who Velázquez was, and hardly even make the slight connection to Salvador Dalí...all they'll see is offensiveness. My hats off to you for your exploration into creativity.
  4. Guillermo: simplemente de paso...debe de ser sin el "the" en el titulo, porque traducido de nuevo dice algo asi como "desde las huellas de las Rocallosas".
    Me gusta el efecto que le has dado; normalmente no me gusta una sobresaturacion no natural, pero aqui es mas artistica que "realistica", y eso le da un toque nuevo a fotos similares de esta vista. Bien hecho!

    C'est ne pas une publicite, mon dieu, la connerie de ce pays!! J'ai bien compris le message que tu avais voulu poser. Mais, je me demande si la photo ici...porquois avais toi obtenu l'idee de cette photo d'une annonce de tv? Fué tu intención hacer el enfoque el simular la resolución de una TV?
    Saludos.

    Excellent evocation of ciaroscuro a la Elsheimer (in a rather sensual and Flemish way, if both actually can be mixed); very decisive definition of muscles and breasts, simple background...medium format is definitively not dead!
  5. Technically, a "super-genius" who is 40 years old would have to rate 1/7 (Mental Age=40, IQ=280); a highly intelligent, mature person, a 1/4 (30/120), and a dim-dot a 1/10, so I'm confused!!!!
    So what's the story? At any rate, all I can say so far is "I feel your pain".
  6. I used to have a couple of tulip pics myself, but took them off because I'd get incredibly bad ratings along with some rather dumb "comments". Yes, flowers are overdone, but few still catch your eye. This one caught mine.
    Best of all, it is not portrayed in a triumphant manner. Ironically sensual.
