A lovely high key image where my eyes can play hide and seek amidst the silk. This photo stands out in an interesting way from most of your shots I know.
lovely image, color choice very nice for the photo. makes me want ot know what she is looking at :) i may have cropped out the person to the far right, but thats just me. still one of my absolute favs in the challenge
Very pretty model, but I'd like to see more of her. Maybe it was the intent to leave more to the imagination but I feel there is too much dead space around the face. Jacko. 7
Like the hi key sepia tone and the beautiful subject with all the flowing fabric about her. I am distracted by the piles of packages(?) on both sides and the women on the right. I think they could have been cropped without losing too much of your subject.
Good idea but I find myself being instantly and permanently transfixed to the lovely high key figure in the background - I'm sure I'm not supposed to but this is the way it works for me - sorry.
Beauty is a subjective thing, I know. In my scoring and comments I'm trying to score based on NOT whether or not I would think a particular subject beautiful, but on whether the photographer has succeeded in creating a beautiful photo. I look for the elements of color, lines, focus and dof interest, lighting, and a certain element of grace and lovlieness. I'm looking for a unique and creative appeal for the highest scorers. The description says to create a photo that makes the viewer think "that's beautiful", so it will undoubtedly be very subjective. (This is what I'm putting at the start of all of my comments, and I hope it is helpful.)
That being said, I don't get a whole lot from this photo. I like the sheer fabrics, but I can't really tell what's happening here. I think part of the drawback for me is that there is a lot going on in the background. It seems to distract from the major elements of the front woman and the material. I haven't seen the color version, but these tones don't seem to add interest to the shot for me. I do like the unique subject and the flow of the material, but it just doesn't make me think "beautiful."
I love the movement of this picture...I can almost feel that breeze, I really like the softness, the warm tones...wonderful image, completely intriguing.
