very nice take, imho. the expression is clear, the focus on the eyes through the goggles is great, the dof is right on. perhaps a bit much light on the face? I do like the blue cast as well. 8 at first pass, going to 9.
Another "sadness" picture that isn't all that "sad". This is a really cool picture, but I really don't see "sad"...silly...goofy...pouty...yes. The blue hue and what look like swimming goggles make this seem very aquatic to me. Sadness and sorrow are really hard emotions to "fake" ...they seem to be emotions that must rise from the pits of our souls to appear genuine.
Yes that's definately different. Good crisp image and fits the challenge. But I just dont know what to think about the image. I would almost have to classify this as an abstract. The blue works perfectly but the the gogglels and bizzrare facial expression are a bit bizzare. I think I like it.. nice job this is a shot that make the veiwer think nice job,
Hmmmm, first impression....don't care for the blue, and the light is a little harsh on his face. the mouth shows sadness, but I just don't see it in the eyes. Nice use of goggles though.
