  1. interesting abstract here. i would place dot on a "thirds" line instead of the center, i think. i like the diagonal line on the left as well as the inclusion of the "sperm's" shadow.
  2. i'd call it a "killer" brown dress! personally, i am curious as to how this shot would look with her elbow here. your model has an inherent elegance and beauty to her. her posing and enhancing of her back curves is great. you could even make it a slightly more playful shot by lowering the strap a tad more. que bella!
  3. well, it's a good thing i read your description within the thread before i first posted, thinking that you had faded 2 pics together. i like the main subject here, but think the face on the ad is not "adding" anything (pardon the pun) to contrast the man's plight versus the message of the ad. Now say the ad had a well dressed man in a tux or something, that would be more contrasting. thus to me, if you are going to take this shot, i would have more emphasis somehow on the man himself. but, that's just my mere 2 cents. the look of desolation/solitude on his face you have portrayed quite well.

    Help!

    andrea - so did you use cellophane wrap here to get this or is it all in photoshop? i think this is a very creative idea. my only points would be to include a bit more area in the shot, thus the hand is at a rule of thirds intersection, instead of quite close to the corner. also, i think a nicely toned B&W here would work quite well. nonetheless, the effect and overall portrayal work quite well!

    andrea - fantastic shot! only thing that could possibly be done, IMHO, to improve this shot was to have caught the silhouettes in front of an orange colored spot "instead" of just clouds. that would set the figures off even more. but of course, that is nitpicking. excellent!

    ok, so i was looking at this picture further, and agree that the yellow newspaper dispense should be removed - it's too bright. Also, moving the girl over a bit to the right in front of the stoplight would contrast her versus the building more (suffice it to say, it brings out some Freudian images). finally, the light from the lamp is quite a "distance" in the image from the girl. if she is placed in front of the stoplight, the lamp might put more emphasis on her. though, you'll have to verify this to be indeed the case.

    Andrea, thank you for giving me a frank answer. i am biased in posting this pic b/c the subject is my sister, and it's kinda hard to judge (for me) the merits without getting the subject involved. i will look for some better shots from this event. thanks again!
  4. very contrasting textures and colors here. out of curiousity (and not that the answer matters), did you increase the saturation here, especially of the yellows? they look almost too yellow, but not quite. excellent shot! i cant decide if i like the multicolor framing or not. did you use a plugin/action for that? only thing i could suggest was turning the whole camera a bit more to the right to include more of the red wall on the right, for it is more interesting than the big swath of browish wall on the left.

    i like your perspective here, especially with that yellow thing below the big yellow thing (i'm real descriptive here!). idk if its your DOF or the focusing or compression, but i would like to see a bit more detail, especially in the big yellow thing. sorry, don't remember my floral anatomy.

    man, she's got some big eyes! i would crop even more off the right side. is that someone's face on the very far right, middle? excellent portrait.

    i like this shot, but would prefer it shot wide open (like others in this same model's folder). the other shots of her in your folder are excellent. she seems very photogenic and you seemed to have captured her eyes in some of the other shots quite well!
  5. this guy looks like he is having a ton of fun! i would perhaps crop it near the edge of the table/speaker horizontally on the right hand side. other than that, a very lively pic! i didnt catch the person behind the dancer until just now.
  6. well, i'd love to have a thinner frame. unfortunately, the program i used for it is somewhat limited and i dont feel like shelling out any more money for PS plugins. if anyone can point me to a nice, free plugin, that'd be great! thanks for the kind words, swati!

    i tried to get on the same said as the girl was putting on her

    earring. unfortunately, she kept switching opposite me! this was my

    first attempt at using a 420ex flash, so i really was not sure how

    things would turn out. your comments - good and bad - are most

    welcome. thanks.

    is the scratch on her ring finger? if you have an ICE capable scanner, it should get rid of it. also, you could touch it up in photoshop.
  7. model has an interesting and appealing look to her. although your rework seems interesting, i am not sure if that is how i would have done it to begin with. of course, i would have tried to shoot it wide open, thus putting gate 3, and the man with the cell phone out of focus as much as possible. now, the "model" might not have let you get that close!

    i think for a still like this to work, the bottle needs to be a bit offcentered. in this case, moving the whole frame a bit to the left would have been fine, for that little light part of the barrel would have balanced out the bottle on the other side.

    what a big smile! that little highlight in his mouth made me do a double take when i first saw the image b/c i was like "what parent would pierce a kid's tongue at that age!". then i realized, it was a salivary reflection!
