You live in paradise Rich!

Yes, watch those hot spots but, having just looked through the folder, I'd say this is the best shot so you are definately improving.

Have to pick this as my favorite. Love the lighting here.

Beautiful image Tony. Nice exposure on this.

Love the contrast but would really like to have seen a much wider shot here.

Very nice.

Nice series!

 

They didn't catch you did they? : )

We all know you broke that timer so there will always be 10 mins left on it!

 

Strange thing to notice but the way you did your signature on the couch looks pretty cool.

In general, I like it. I think the note paper effect on the back layer stops the depth of the photo though.

Agree about the foot but otherwise it's a great shot.

Nice work. Well worth the effort.

All around pretty cool but I think I'd like to see her eyes more in focus. They are the main focal point in this.

...I can't dance!

...a very beautiful young lady, Guido. : )

 

May I suggest placing a small light behind her to help seperate her from the background. Then a soft light in front of her just to give her a catchlight in her eyes. You should come up with something like this as a result. Please let me know and I'll remove the example if you would like.

Stunning portrait Kelvin. Simply stunning.

Have to agree with everyone else on this Roger. This is brilliantly done. It belongs framed!

I think I like this composition best. Not as much action around the smaller rocks but I like the leading lines from the water more here. Also like that bit of sunlight accenting the edges of the one cloud. Nice save in both cases though!

Cool, even better then!

To start, I'd say that without scars and writting, I think this photo would be very good just by it's self. I think the rest just clutters the image and tries too hard.

 

That aside, the writting seems to follow the contour of the muscles and the scars do not. In fact, I still think it would work very well with the writting and no scars. Although I still prefer it with neither. The scars do not work for me. Some look fairly good but most do not. There is one on lower right hand that does not fade into the shadow or curve with the body. They are also indented. I think that would hold true for new wounds but old scars would be raised, in general.

But Tore...she IS an S curve!

 

Seriously though, I agree with Tore. I think this would benifit from an adjustment. No pure whites in it and that kind of throws it off for me. Dig the composition and expression.

Not sure if the ropes should be glowing with her or not. Very nice feeling to this overall scene.

In this case I would not move her away from the background because it is what she is leaning against and part of the story. Definately could use a reflector to remove the shadow against the wall. If the messed up hair was intentional, and I think it was, it needs to be more messed up, in my opinion. Watch the details. She's got one sock inside out and a hair stuck to it. Her necklace clasp is in front. I don't get the single pointed finger. The red spot on her ankle could be avoided by having her cross her other foot on top. Again, I get the feeling that she is supposed to look messy in this shot and I think taking that further would work better. A bit of a tired look on her face would help that as well.

Yep, seems a little sharper here. Love the composition. Great mood to it. Fells like one is just sitting alone and getting lost in whatever music appeals to that individual. The rest of the world going on behind the blinds.

Great moment. I would try cropping just above her head and behind the man in the backgrounds back.

Really nice capture here Micki. Needs no title!
