Robert has nicely encapsulated my thoughts about tattoos. I am so bewildered by the allure of ink that as a result, the photo does nothing for me.

 

It feels more like a crime-scene photo than the work of art intended by its creator.

I echo some of the other criticisms about lighting and posing, but the model...

 

WOW!

 

Among her other more obvious attributes, she has a great chin. A face (and corpus) that wants to be photographed.

No, the lighting is not "fancy". Nor is it flattering. It seems flat and drab, as well as unidirectional. And the model looks as if she's been flung there by an explosion, awaiting the coroner's arrival.

 

Lovely woman, but the image has not done her justice I'm afraid.

Too blown out for my taste. Otherwise, quite nice.

John, don't you have any un-photogenic friends? :)

This image is almost biblical in its sense of foreboding.

 

Outstanding in every respect, from the crisp wavetops, the building clouds, the barely-seen ?woman at front left, the lights from the hi-rises at rear.

Creepily effective.

"Gold-FINGAH! Wa-WAA-Wa! He's the man, the man with the midas touch...."

I'm sure I'm supposed to critique the technical merits of the photograph, but the model is so stunningly attractive that I couldn't tell you if the image is B&W or color! :)

 

The Peri Touch, once again. Thanks, and Happy New Year.

Lovely model.

 

Whether or not an image is cropped is of little interest to the viewer, so it does not need to be disclaimed.

 

Overall the lighting models her lovely abs well; it's a bit hot at the top the frame.

Would be nice if ANY part of this image was in focus.

Well done Jeff. You are a brave man with a great sense of humor.

robert, the light is magnificent. I hope this fabulous space is your studio, or that you at least have unfettered access to it.

 

Oh, and by the way, she's teeth-chatteringly attractive.

...a rare state of being for me.

 

What an original and fresh eye. Technically masterful.

 

What an, ah, unusual looking subject.

 

"Wow" is all I can say.

Fantastic, simple, beautiful portrait.

 

My only complaint would be the stuff at the lower right over his left shoulder--mildly distracting.

 

Well done Viesturs.

Beautifully crafted image. It is so bizarre that it is affecting; their expressions make the image.

 

Excellent job. More, more!

...of sweat just from looking at her. Gorgeous woman, excellent image.

that's a fine-looking bottom, well rendered.

 

Good job.

I could kick his ass.... :)

 

He's really ripped. You did a good job with the lighting to demonstrate that. Well done.

Probably belongs in "Street and Documentary" section.

 

Not a bad image of a grim subject.

Nice job. Beautiful model, good light.

 

Having observed here awhile, you'll know not to let anonymous 3/3 raters worry you. Anyone not wo/man enough to leave a signed critique probably has little to offer you anyway! :)

Bizarre and wacky, but strangely compelling. I like if, just not sure why!

 

Nice to see that even film photographers think that tilting the camera must improve the shot--I was beginning to think that cliche was reserved to digital shooters only.

As I recall, "Binaca" was once the name of a breath-freshener spray.

 

I'd say that this Binaca is far more effective at least in quickening one's breath.

 

Stunning model, well rendered.

...but unfocused is not. It may have been your intention, but the shot is just too "atmospheric" for my taste, and the pronounced red cast I see on my (calibrated) monitor does not work either.

...but lovely model and good photo.
