Good b/w study which imparts a feeling of textures. I would have prefered either the hand in of the forefinger out, but a very good pose which gives the image a good sense of balance. Bumping up.
there's something great about this portrait - the lighting and pose are good but I'm afraid I'm not keen on the dark cloth (towel?) as the shape looks too much like a mirror image of the model's jeans and detracts from the strong shape created by her legs. Also I think the bottom right hand corner is too busy, and the finger looks like it is not attached to the body. Perhaps by cropping closer at the bottom of the shot it would have been stronger?
Hmmm - nice shot, but the dark form at the bottom looks like it is her right leg (I thought it was until I looked at it for awhile) and it looks badly broken, bending up at the knee. :-(
Great lighting, great B&W tones and contrast. The angle definitely emphasizes the size of her thighs though, not very flattering in my opinion. However, the rest of the pic is very professional and totally tight.
It isn't as simple as black and white? Now why would you want to reduce someone so young and vibrant to shades of gray? Is it a depcition of her internal state. She certainly doesn't look as happy as the rest of her pose would suggest. At any rate, it is a good capture. My eyes are still intact. (5)
I really like this photograph, except for the very bottom. The color of whatever she is sitting on is too close to the color of her jeans. It was just confusing for a minute. A little cropping could do the trick. But, very sharp!
The dark part of the pad she is sitting on looks like her right leg. Which makes it look horribly hyper-extended. Threw me off for a a bit. If cropped so that she is only shown from the legs/butt on up, I think would have made a more pleasing composition. But I'n not a pro, so what do I kow. =)
Nice capture. The lighting or contrast is just a tad harsh. But the area that bothers me a bit is what appears to be a reflection under her legs. It takes a bit to see that her leg is not bent in a very awkward or un-natural way.
Another Wow...I am amazed by the sharpness of this and the perfect tones and the good composition....I bet this one scores real high....I know it will from me.I would have given it higher scores if you had cropped off the area under her derrière....it just doesn't seem to fit and is distracting.
It's a nice picture but my vote went down a bit because at first sight that blanket? looks like her foot bent in a VERY odd way! But goregus model and nice pi
