Thanks for all the comments - and I appologize for the confusion this image has stirred up regarding the challenge theme. After 24 hours, I emailed site council tobe disqualified from the challenge. It occured to me that I had taken the theme way too largely and the photo I submitted should have been disqualified. I was told that they don't accept self disqualification requests and that it would be up to the voters to decide. Fair enough.
Cheers, and happy holidays!
This is well done shot and I'm sure a holiday decoration for some. Not sure if it will appeal to many as a "Calssy Holiday Decortation" but I give it a 7 just on the quality of the image. Good job.
Dr. Jones I presume? Although a very pretty model, I really don't consider this to be a "classy" holiday decoration per se. I guess then she would be a nice decoration on some lucky guys(or gals for that matter) arm. I find this image a little grainier than what we expect from the good doctor. Hope I'm not wrong about the identity of the photographer. Forgive me if so. A little too much eggnog I guess.
I don't understand how this is classy.. if anything, I would think this would be a trashy holiday display.. Nothing against you or your model, she's very pretty, you just usually think of any kind of tie between a religious holiday and sexual innuendo as kind of trashy.. any other time I would give thsi shot high scores, it's very well done, but i just find it inappropriate for this challenge.
After failing to shoot a glass shiny christmas tree "bubble/ball", I am wondering how do you manage to avoid most reflections on your latex shots.
Regarding this shoot, it is quite good. The composition is centered, but the "cornered eyes" are making center position quite suitable.
I would have perhaps liked to see more details on the furr.
Verry nice, although I coudn't help wondering if an interesting (blurred) background of something would've helped. I know it's a studio shot, but the background is the only dull thing I can point out really
