This photo deserved a much higher score. It must have been penalized for the nudity. I would respectfully disagree with my fellow DPC members who found the nakedness gratuitous. On the contrary -- it's a nice juxtaposition to the innocence of Pooh. And the shadow effect is great.
I want to give you so much for the girl, her action and dynamism, the vulnerablility, the interplay of light and shadow, the expression, the fear, this was a definite 8.....but then... there was pooh.... and I just cant do it. You get a 2 because of my hurt.
While I can't say I undestand the phobia of poo. I do enjoy this shot and find it to be quite funny. (I hope that was the point). Normaly I would not have like the shadow of the hand crossing through the image. I feel however in this instance with phobia's the long shadows help.I also would like to have seen a little of the face. From a technical stand point this shot has pretty good focus, but seem s alittle soft. Everything else looks pretty good.
Love the girl side of the photo but hate the poo, sorry, he just doesn;t quite work here. Lighting and focus on the girl is just great, but poo seems a little out of focus. Like it overall though.
For someone suffering in silence from these very symptoms it is refreshing to see someone talking openly about this very serious issue :) Nice shot (poo could be a little more in focus though).
good concept, but the light is off somehow (too soft?) and the model needs to have more dynamic energy in her muscles and the turned head makes it look like a HEAD OF HAIR like the movie RING, so a bit odd. not a bad photo tho.. cheers
I'm having trouble reconciling why this is a nude image... With the Pooh theme, it detracts from it being a figure study. The lighting doesn't play to the body's contours either. Seems like nude just for the sake of nudity.
