Hello, Langdon... we meet again... So, landgdon, have ANYTHING nice to say AT ALL about this picture?? Have you ever heard the expression if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all? You should be more like Magnectic ;-)
I noticed that this person hadn't had any previous entries so this is their first submission. Be a little nicer hmm? Instead of saying it's too dark. Mystery-it's probably supposed to be dark. If you only make a suggestion, you just make it seem like you're the better photographer, and I know most of you aren't any better than this person... It seemed like a lot of baby pictures got under the first fifty... babies and doggies, oh my! How creative :-)
If you were going for a sense of erie, you got it, your title implies it. Even so, the elements of this shot are not depicted clearly enough for me to do anything but assume you knew what you were doing and the effect you were after. Me, I can't see much, so I can't really tell what you were going for. The title should be Mystery to you. Photo 7 (sorry, but that's how I feel) Creativity 10 (I am hoping you were "reaching" for something) B&W 6 (sorry, too much mystery for me) total 7 (in dire hopes this is really better than I think it is)
I think brightening the midtones a little would preserve the mystery while making the subject slightly more 'there'. Top and R could be cropped. Taken on stage?
Based on the title, I think the blurriness/graininess works well. However, it seems a little dark to me, which does add to teh mystery, but makes it difficult to see. Very artistic.
Good title for this one. I really like the sense of mood you've been able to convey, very artsy and expressionistic. Good use of lighting also. The one thing I might suggest is to crop the distractive beam from the top (and thus the right side also to keep the aspect ratio).
This is interesting work! I like the mood and the blur in this photo... The only minor detail that distracts me is the white line above her head... good work!
Unfortunately, this shot is a little too mysterious for my liking. Just a little lighter or a little more focus would've helped. Also, if you could've cropped out the light gray bar over the girl's head.
