Challenge:Phobia (Basic Editing III) Camera:Canon EOS-20D Location: Canada Date: Dec 14, 2005 Aperture: medium ISO: 100-3200 Shutter: 5 shots per second Galleries:Nude Date Uploaded: Dec 16, 2005
Artistically a good photograph with nice tones & shadows.
The title does nothing to convey to me what the phobia is though - assume it has to do with the fear of hanging.
So is this fear of Brigitte, perhaps Caligynephobia (fear of beautiful women) or Gynophobia (fear of women)? Or maybe Pnigophobia (fear of choking). I really don't know what the phobia is and can't say that it "Try to make the viewer feel the emotion of the fear."
Well, my wife didn't like this one so much (she felt the nudity was gratuitous). I did. I think the extended neck and the grasping of the sheet lend a feeling of the fear. The title might hammer you due to Challenge requirements, but I'm not going to vote you down for that. I assume it's a fear of hanging. The technicals and lighting are well done too. I give it an 8 which is one of the 4 highest scores in this challenge from me.
what is this? The fear of big breasted women killing themselves? It's not a bad image but I don't think you are going to score well with this. It will likely be like the first challenge i submitted to and you will get comments about this being "gratuitus nudity". Honestly though I really don't think this met the challenge as conveying fear or a phobia so i am going to vote accordingly...
And what phobia is Brigette? Boring when people try to bump up their photos with nude female body´s. If it was in some touch with the challenge then ok. Nice body though. 4
Hmm, frightening is not the first term to spring to mind... Although I'm sure we would all hate to lose her. Nice lighting. a little too soft, I think.
