In the darkest hour I draged my friend, in the rain, to lie on the wet, cold ground for an hour while I took pictures with flashlights and flashes...
My mistake on my first submission is rather obvious, and the comments you gave my photo was helpful.. It is to dark, I did actually darken it to make the girl look more like the root, but shouldnt have(looked better bigger). About the make up, we made her body dirty and darkened her eyes, but the make up was minimal - but thanks anyway :o) Will do my best to improve my work.

I think it is to dark, I can see all the details but I would at least want to see the girl a litle brighter. Just my 2 cents. But I do like people that thinks out of the box and does something diffrent.
Thanks for the comment. I know now what I could have done better, obviously the lightning amoung other stuff. PW should also have been more, but as this was my first entry I really didn´t know how much I could do.... Have read the rules now :o)
This probably could have worked for the DPC Cinema challenge if you could get the name right. It reminds me of a horror movie which had these people deformities (like no legs) and they were moving about in the woods sorta like this. Anyway, I can't think of the name of that movie now! Sorry to go off on a tangent. 7!
Hihi, horror moovie... nice. I like that you gave my picture a thought and some time, thanks..
Let me start off by saying that overall this was a great idea - especially for your first submission. I like how the lovely model was placed in the shot and I am certainly a fan of dark, emotive images such as this. I see by your post challenge comments that you now know some things to try differently but I'll try to give you a couple more.
This would be a great candidate for painting with light or at least some selective lighting. The use of flash here brings out a bit much of the tree and makes it fight for my attention from the model. As was said below, you've lost some texture as well because of the lighting. Also, for shot like this the model needs to be much dirtier (at least for a better score at DPC). It looks like some was smudged on her arms but I'd actually like to see more of it and quite a bit on her face and hair. Would definitely give it a more "Deep, Deep in the Jungle" look.
Overall an excellent first challenge entry that isn't anything to frown upon. Can't wait to see more of your work.
Thanks for the opportunity to critique your image Ragnheiður.

It's a wonderful idea, the lighting could be better but the result is intriguing. Just a thought... how about post processing with Draganizer action? I think it would look very interesting.
