please tell me what you think

what do you think?

it's in the eyes...

 

I like it, but I'm not sure if the center placement and the black areas add anything to it...

is the flower in the eye a reflection, or did you add it in post? just curious...

 

I would have used a diffrent lighting, one producing a more pleasing reflection in the eye... maybe lit from the front, or with 2 softboxes at 45 degrees, to have a more symetric appearance in the eye (as it is only one eye, and in the center of the image, the shot should be rather symetrical IMHO)

I like what you did with a quite ordinary shot (ad the sky is absolutely gorgeous!)

 

well done, one of the rare occasions where an over the top alteration works well!

 

Maybe one nitpick, I would have prefered if the lower right part was as bright as the area surrounding the tree... I find it a bit unbalanced as it is

 

still, well done on a rather bland landscape!

it is original, and it took me a second or two to figure it out... nice

I'll have to agree with Marc G above, the black background becomes kind of clichéed, and sure makes the task easier to capture a successful image... but Marc, one question to you (and it is not intended to be provocative or anything else, I just want to know)... Let's say you're in the zoo, see this action develop, see the light, walk to the correct spot to capture it, and the background found in that position is awful (lets say the fence with the large zoo sign). Would you leave the background in, or would you try to get rid of it? lets assume for the purpose of discussion that no matter what position you stand, the background will always be horrible in that particular zoo...

I know I sure would try to get rid of it, either by blackening it out (which somehow appeals more to my asthetic senses), or by blurring it away beyond recognition (which will give me a no less artificial looking image, but probably not as beatiful)... what would be your choice?

nice one, shows well the beauty of nature in creating even something small and at first sight ugly like a fly! how did you light it? ring flash?

she kinda looks like one of my ex-girlfriends... I sure wish I had such a good shot of her! IMHO the best one of the bunch! I like your staircase a lot as well...

JS? Now you made me envious... I only have a lowly RG570 (and a gibson LP)

Ibanez?

Hi Gerry, well thanks for that response! btw, no need for a white backdrop, this one is a white bedsheet... just shine a light on it and it will stay white

oh, forgot to say that I like the triangular relation between the face, the tatoo and the thingy attached to her top (what would you call that?)! Thats what makes the picture work for me

Hey David, you made my brother (comment above) agree with me for once, thanks :-)))

Nice picture, the tilt works well

you definetely have a thing with cows... :-) I like all of them (the one with the single cow wide angle and close up is still my favorite)

that picture is awsome! 7/7

what gorgeous eyes she has... too bad she doesn't show a smile in this pic!

It doesn't really convey the feeling of tranquility to mee... the water looks still to dynamic for that

she looks like she's bored to death and falling asleep... Change her look and the picture is fine

All comments appreciated

I like the model and the pose and the setting, however I think that she could be more separated from the background... maybe put on brighter clothes...
