the image is too dark. i know you are trying to highlight the word divine but she should be slightly brighter.

i like this image and the cross processing, etc. perhaps the top could be cropped off a bit.

i would like this image better if the car was totally sharp but i know that's easier said than done in practice. the only other thing is that the colors could be brighter.

the image is too big to be appreciated on photo.net without scrolling.

i like this image however i feel like there should be a bit more light on her face.

i like the tonality of this image and how the hair sort of helps provide some natural framing.

i love the tonality of this image but find the slippers in the foreground a bit distracting.

this image is a tad too much in in the realm of digital manipulation for me. the over-coloring digital manipulation actually detracts from the image which in my opinion, it should never do. digital manipulations should never call attention to itself, in fact, if done well, it should go un-noticed.

i like the image and the cross-proccessing (try doing that with digital folks-no can do) but i think i would prefer this image if it was shot vertical instead. i find myself curous to see more of her body and the cropping off of her arms seems slightly odd.

the subjects look good expression-wise, however i don't like the empty space right in the middle of the frame.

i disagree with the above comment that the reflection is distraction. i quite like it. it gives it a bit of an erie quality.

also, you can immediately tell that this image is not 35mm or digital. the resolution and sharpness of medium format film is top notch and sure makes a difference!

the only thing that might make the image better in my opinion would be to use a much slower shutter speed so that the water looks totally smooth a la Michael Kenna. I know this would be difficult to do in the daylight but perhaps a Neutral Density filter or slower than 400 ISO film would help that.

i like the image itself, but the double framing has got to go. it actually detracts from the overall image.

September 2, 2002

but i wish there was more food in the foreground plate. it seems that the eye is drawn to the place of abundance in the frame and in this image, it would be the red pot in the middle left. it should be the foreground plate.

yet you rated one of my photos the lowest rating without providing any comments of your own.

ie. the black vs. white space. i wish there was slightly less hair in her face though.

i would like this image more if you had filled the frame with the subject.

really nice and natural portrait. i would prefer it without the reflection added. her expression does not look like she is look at herself, but rather out into the distance. the photo becomes less pure the more digital manipulation you do.
