i think i would have gone all the way here and moved the camera angle to cut more off the bottom and put her whole face in the frame! otherwise i like it.
Cant make my mind up if cutting her head off works or not. Maybe if you would have found a black party mask, black hankercheif with holes cut in it ala Zorro you could have gotten here head in while maintaining mystery.
I just think the combo of cutting her head off and too much blue foreground throws me off a bit. But I think this is well photographed and a good idea.
I understand you probably wanted to hide your model's identity. However, headless photos of people are not the best, unless they are close-ups, where you can emphasise on specifica characteristics of the face. Still, if your model insister that you did not post her face on the web, you could have cropped out the lower third of the photo. It adds nothing to the photo. Just emptiness. Also, (just minor details though), the tip of her right shoe is trimmed and your reflection can be seen on that shoe. Cloned out maybe? Lighting is very even and therefore photo lacks contrast.
Cutting off the top of her head lends an air of mystery to this shot. A different color for the background, I think, would've been more characteristic. (Say yellow or orange, maybe read instead of a cool blue?)
If you hadn't cropped off the top of the head I would have given this photo a 10. Unfortunately that spoiled. Still a very good photo and a great play on the "games" theme.
it's an interesting shot, but I think it would have been better in b&w or perhaps a darker back drop. I think the aqua clashes with the skin tone a bit.
the blue background isn't really the most pleasing, and the large amount of it at the bottom probably isn't needed. Tip of the shoe has been cropped, and her facial expression isn't enough to grab my interest. Seeing as you were going for the 'sex sells' concept, what might have worked is if you had a guy dressed as a burglar lying face down, arms behind his back ... and the girl over him about to put the cuffs on.
Clever idea for a game. Unfortunately I did not find your model, or perhaps the position she was in very attractive. For a picture that is trying to represent a more risque lifestyle and subject the lightblue sort of kills it. You should have gone with black or a deep red.
Well lit, and sexy. What more do I want? Well... it looks like privacy/anonymity issues with the model hurt the composition - much better to show us the rest of her face or, if that wasn't possible, to square crop in order to lose the empty blue space. Given her apparent reluctance and the site rules, though, all I can fault you with is chopping off the end of her shoe. Getting really picky, it would be nice if she were sitting up a little straighter, and this pose gives a less-than-wonderful calf droop on her near leg. I wanna play, anyway.
This seems like a ploy for points by trying to appeal to our prurient interests. The title makes it about a game, but other than that, I don't see the connection, unless you mean some sort of mind game. In that case, you could take a picture of her brains stem and not her crotch.
A different backdrop would have fit better. Maybe a white or black. One of the shoes is cut off. It seems there was some room on the other side to crop it. I like this...it's a very hott idea.
Was this photo framed to intentionally slice off the subject's face? I don't particularly like the crop and I think this is a weak, but not non-existant, relationship to the 'games' theme.
