Very original and beautiful! Bravo! 7/7

What a great image!

 

I absolutely love the quality of light in the picture and the lighting technique in general. The model is also gorgeous. The colors are brilliant and the composition is really original.

 

There's only one thing that bothers me a bit: it seems the there is some implied symmetry by the lighting and the shape of the black and white fabric. However, this symmetry is broken in the right upper corner in the shape of the black piece of cloth and also by its overlapping for the model's left leg. I would love to see a version this picture where the symmetry is perfect.

 

6/6

Constructive critique, comments and edits would be highly appreciated.

@Emilia, George and Jason: Guys, thank you for your commments, I appreciate it!

 

@Gary: that's a very good suggestion. Unfortunally I am a little bit short of time right now, but as soon as I get the chance to give it a shot, I will let you know!

 

@Robert: Thanks for commenting, but I fail to understand your point and hence how you suggest to improve the picture. Please elaborate.

 

Thanks everybody for your comments!

Very original and funny but not very aestetically appealing, at least to men.

Great Image!

wow - great use of DoF I also like the crop and the lighting. Good job!

Good angle :)

Great idea, great picture!

Your comments and suggestions are most welcome! Thanks!

What can I say... I've seen the guy personally several times and it feels like you've captured him exactly the way I have him in my mind. Extraordinary picture! BRAVO!

I like the skin tone very much and the lighting is also great. My only problem is that one hand is visible and the other one is not... it's kinda weird. But still - Great Job!

I really like this picture. I don't know whether it was really candid or you set it up somehow, but it looks very authentic. I also like the sepia toning - it gives it a South American feeling (along with the hat and the white clothes), but I think black and white might've worked better - just a thought...

I love those colors! Your perspective is also very nice! Good job! 6/6

I like the framing and the feeling of the picture - it's somehow serene and peaceful. However there's something missing to make this picture a really good one... I am not sure whether it's the color or lack of sharpness...

This is one of the most powerful pictures I've seen here. Great Job!

The only little tiny siggestion I might have is to improve the frame somehow... Maybe smoother elipse and smoother blending would work better. But even like this it's great.

The picture was taken at a roadside marketplace during the

parliamentary elections campaign in Bulgaria this summer. The man with

the sunglasses on the left is a candidate for MP from a right wing

democratic party. Coming to the marketplace with the intention of

talking to the farmers, mostly old poor villagers (the solid

electorate of his rival Socialist Party) he met a formidable, adroit

political opponent in the face of a young hardworking man. The silent

tiny marketplace suddenly became an arena of a passionate political

debate on a warm sunny Saturday afternoon.

Critique and comments are most welcome!

Please let me know what you think! Thank you for your time!

I love the colors of the picture. They make it very soft and intimate. The model is gorgeous! Great!

Great moment! I love the tonality of the picture - it's powerful enough but not too contrasty. 6/6

@Owen: You are absolutelly right! Now that you mentioned it I can't believe I missed out on that... The reason I think is that there is a big white pillar on the right of the model. I was trying to keep it out of the shot and in the process cut her hand out... It is flattering however to receive a positive comment from a photographer like you - I looked through your work yesterday - it's great! Thanks for your time!

@Dow: I am not sure I understand what you mean... but thanks for your comment!

@David: The model is a little bit soft, but I did it on purpose. I wanted to cover up some of the imperfections and also to give it a more sensual look. BTW. I looked through your portfolio last night - it's AMAZING! You have so much creative power it's unbelievable! Thank you for your time!

@Teru: This is a very nice idea! Unfortunatelly I didn't think about it at the time I was taking the picture and there's no opportunity to retake it now :( But I will remember this comment for my future work. Thank you for your attention!

I like it. However I would have left some room on the right side, behind her back and I would play with the image in Photoshop to make the colors a little bit "quiter", to give them a pastel feeling... Otherwise it's a good image :)
