My opinion is this photo was extremely underrated. The pose, the color, the angles, the curves, the expression, the dof, the lighting, the focus are all excellent. This was my pic for a ribbon.
My favorite image of the challenge. Technically excellent image with beautiful tonality. Subject is a beautiful woman with an expression & posture that relays both vulnerability and silent strength. IMO the best portrait I've seen in my 11 months on the DPC. Great work.
Wonderful tonal range! Could be a text-book example on why less saturation sometimes works better than more.
The texture of her freckles and the moss is also a great combination. The unruly hair is a nice touch, totally appropriate for the natural surroundings. Not thrilled about the bland expression, but can't think of a more appropriate one. 9
Love the composition, nice warm color also. The space on the right really lift the image. Maybe a horziontal flip would work better, since most of us humans read from left to right. Maybe not, good photo! 8
Very Beautiful. She looks sad. It makes me want to hop into the photo and comfort her. I am really effected emotionally when I look at this. Each time I look at it, and then click away, I feel like I have abandoned a friend in need.
Ok, so it sounds like I'm not mentaly stable now! haha
I think this would be better in B&W. The colours look very cold, and uncomfortable for the model. This would also hide the splotchiness on the skin. Composition is good. The back looks a little over exposed.
I think the image is slightly too desaturated. I'd like to see the color better on her hair and her lips. If she's just paler than averae, sorry to you and the model, but the moss/lichen and flowers behind her look that way as well. Lovely pose, and composition however.
Love the tonalities of this. Compositionally, I wish her leading foot weren't so precisely in the horizontal center of the image. I'd liek to see another 50-75 pixels on the left, even if this meant giving a few more top and bottom to keep it from being too "skinny" an image. Nevertheless, really nice work and a strong score on my chart.
If your model had looked more comfortable this would have been great. Color and lighting are wonderful. a change in pose and you may have a masterpiece.
Very well done shot. Love the colors! Nice pose from the model, although her left foot seems a bit oddly placed (maybe it could have been pointy, or silghtly moved). Very nice expression of the face. Lovely environment. Very nice composition and crop. 8
By the look and style, i already know who's work this is ;)
Composition is very nice if a bit off on the lower part (little bit more space would be nice). Model's posture is unique and shows some interesting struggle of emotions, although i don't feel the model to be quite confortable doing so. Althought this is the author's style, i feel there is a certain lack of colours in the background that could give more power to the shot. Same goes for the frame which is nice, but somehow, doesn't quite help the model. Finally, DOF is nice, but i'd loved a little bit more depth. None the less, very good mastery of the composition and style. Nice work! 8
love the location and the model, don't like the pose. It looks too uncomfortable. I realize you probably wanted to keep it tasteful, but there are other ways and poses to hide everything. I would love to see some of the other shots for the shoot, I bet you have something amazing in there
This is such a special photo. The treatment is wonderful and suits the scene well. The placement of the model, her pose and expression are all perfect for the mood. Very beautiful, natrual looking photo. 9
gæti þetta verið Lena? : )
Vel farið eftir þumalputta reglum um uppsetningu á myndefni. Góð skerpa og flott hvernig bakgrunnurinn er einföld náttúra og nakinn líkaminn fellur vel inn. Flott mynd, nema mér finnst titillinn ekki passa við myndina, sennilega vegna þess að hún er svo sorgmædd á svipinn.
i love nudes in nature, and this is no exception. The model reminds me of Lauren Ambrose - she has that same Renaissance aire that i enjoy. The pale coours suit the models pale skin. So tranquil.
Awesome shot! Seems like a heida shot (or at the very least it was shot in iceland)
I really like how the model stands out against her surrounding but yet is very much part of it. lots of mood and feeling in this shot. big thumbs up from me!
I really like this photo. It gives me a feeling of 'rugged beauty', if that makes any sense. Great detail present, and a smart composition. I like the pose and the very contemplative look on the subject. Very nice job.
