I love the soft feel to this, and the model is great too. Maybe it's just me, but the picture could've been just a bit less blurred? This is still one of my favorites for this challenge though :)
Great pose, great model, great everything--except it'd be better if it were a bit clearer. I feel like I'm seeing double and I'm losing the subject into the background because of the softness.
o i love blurry in this one it really works here and eccentuates the body lines drawing attention away from the face and around the body. the diffuse glow i think anyway? is well applied and not overdone. something truly worth your portfolio
this almost doesn't work, it is just a touch too soft and loses a point or so for it. Still outstounding composition (7), very close to 8 and the potential to have been a 9.
I think of this as more of a boudoir or vanity shot than a fashion shot. The soft focus is a bit overdone. A fashion shot should show off the clothes and this just doesn't do that.
It is rare to find soft focus in fashion. I would normally be willing to look past it, but the soft focus is so over done in this shot that it is hard to. It should be a little more subtle if you ask me. However, your lighting is just wonderful. I think this is a little more on the portait side than the fashion side.
Nice. Perhaps a bit too soft, but that's just personal preference. Crop is maybe a little tight on the left, but other than that, this is a really good fashion photo.
When using a real live full photo model in fashion photography, it is a very risky thing to do for ads, fashion, etc. This is why it is so much hard work to be a model. They have to portray the product or fashion in the proper way. However, on the risk you took in using a model in this way, here is my critique. I first want to comment on the title, "Curves". I believe it is actually the name of a product. I believe a perfume. I would have had that in the shot and her holding it. I know this wasn't a challenge for ads, but the dress alone really is just a dress and doesn't do much for me. The hip action is also a bit too severe. Almost in a distracting way. With the product it would have made more sense, but without it, it seems an un-necessary stance. This model is very pretty and the huge swing in the hip is just overpowering her and drawing the eye to the hip. It also draws the eye to the bracelettes, which don't work with this gown. On the other hand, from the chest up, her facial expression is spot on and she is showing a nice amount of neck for the stance, but that hip, again, pulling it out so far has hunched her shoulders, taking away from the potential this shot could have had. In any case, it is still pleasing. I like the soft focus, and the red on black, etc. I still gave it a decent score.
The model is beautiful and I love the soft focus, except wish her eyes would remain sharp comparatively speaking. It makes my eyes twitch to try and figure it out. I think this would be an awesome image of it were cropped right above her shoulders. (just a minor decapitation Still, very nice work. -8-
