Hi Jerry, 

Same reply as last time...

Please don't over think it.  It's nothing more than an image, you can take from it what you will; in particular it's an abstract image; hence it's placement in the 'digital alteration' category.  As Mark Adams said, "We aren't just eyes; we have memories, feelings.  Emotional content is what makes life whole, and a lot of abstraction has no connection with people..."  Some people, who lack imagination, fail to make a connection with anything that goes beyond what they consider logical.  Logic or sense is definitely what I'm going for here.  It’s just art, take it for what it's worth.  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

Best!

Great shot...great manipulation of this image.  This isn't just a picture, it's an image to get lost in; if just for a moment.

Best!

Svetlana, 

I'm critiquing this because I see you've got some serious talent and this is a REALLY good image.  My hope is to help you make it better.

Although I like the idea of putting the subject behind other people being that it provides a place for this individual (perhaps in society...looking towards a common interest?).  However, the image of the bearded man alone is stark and potentially powerful.  I would humbly recommend that you just focus on him (if possible), with a black background and that wonderful lighting that you've got in this image.

Again, I'd venture to say you're a much better photographer than I am...but I do have an eye for good art and your picture caught my eye.

All the Best!

~ Joseph.

Steve, 

I love the blending of the light in this image...lighter at the top gradually getting darker towards the bottom.  Furthermore, the lines are great for the eyes...both the contours of the layered sandstone (I presume this is somewhere around Antelope Canyon?) and the lines in the cracks and breaks in the stone's shapes. Finally, this just glows a wonderful hue of orange.  Gorgeous; thanks for sharing.

All the Best!

I love the expression you've captured on her face. Good job.

All the Best!

Dear Rocco,

I think this picture is amazing! Could you please share with us how you did or at least shoot me an email describing the software/process? Thanks.

All the Best!

These colors ROCK! Thanks for sharing.

Shane,

I really like some things about this image which I'd like to share:

1. I love the way there is symmetry in the image with the reflection on the table and the model herself.

2. # 1 adds to this...but her breasts look amazing set on the table like that. Not to get pornographic, but you've created a real sensuality with the expression on her face and her breasts setting on the table with the reflection of the same.

3. There is also a bit of interest in the fact that the fruit on the table can have a lot of meaning...going back to Adam & Eve and perhaps I've looked into this too closely, however, the wedding band adds to the imagination too.

I hope this helps. All in all great shot.

All the Best!

~ Joseph.
