...A bunch of dark grapes, symbol of festive pleasures would have been graphically very interesting, would fit perfectly and naturally between these hands...
Grapes, December, North Carolina...think the guy's made of money? Of course, you might create an interesting simulation with a couple of bottles of salmon eggs...
The apple is at the same time the center of interest and a bit of a symbolic overkill in this image. I guess it is a well-shared concept to situate the center of sin and virtue, good and evil, at this area of the body even that we all know it is found only much higher. A bunch of dark grapes, symbol of festive pleasures would have been graphically very interesting, would fit perfectly and naturally between these hands. Good image nevertheless, nice skin tones and overall effect. Maybe a little more space at the bottom for these fingers to end. 9
Nice job. I really like how the shadow falls from the apple into the centre of the picture. The lighting is great also. Good luck in this weeks challenge.
The lighting is great, bringing out beautiful skin tones. Thematically, it's just like Setzler's "Forbidden Fruit" image (is it you again? I have reason to believe so :)). However, the composition of this is so static, centred, symmetrical.... it doesn't inspire me. It robs all the life from the model.
Tantalizing! This is a very interesting photo! I love the direction the hands take, almost like a heart shape, and the confomity of the picture is really nice. The focus looks slightly sharper on the body then on the hands which is sort of distracting, but otherwise great job! -8-
The concept is great but attention to the details needs some work. ie: pubic hair sticking up, fingernails need work and underware's elastic band impression is visible.
Nice belly, but the pubes around the apple takes away from the cleanliness of th image (not that pubes aren't clean, whatever, hopefully you catch my drift). Good job. Jacko 9
