This was my entry for the DPC cinema challenge. Unfortunately I didn't read the rules carefully enough and I added text to it. I would appreciate if you could comment on it...
Ditto to the positives mentioned below. I thought this rocked as a movie photo. The lighting style was perfect. Looking at your brief history in the challenges it looks like we'll see a lot more great stuff from you.
This would totally work as a movie poster. I think as has been said before the lighting is great and emotion in the model's face is excellent and doesn't even appear to be acting in the shot. If I had to add any critique to the image it would be that by the wrist it is abit too sharp and has a bit of a halo and on the cheek above the right eye the skin appears to have a alittle bright spots that attract the eye. In most cases it wouldn't matter but movie posters always seem to have the skins tones way over processed. If I was voting I would have voted it an 8 or 9 then sulked on to the next entry thinking about how much better this then my photo for the challenge.
Ooooh. . .very good! The lighting is awesome. . .just in the right places on her face. I think it would have scored very well! So sorry about your dq!!! SJ's right tho. . .it has happened to most of us at one time or another.
Totally agree with SJCarter, don't let it get you down. As I already said in the thread, it was one of the best in the challenge and one of the few that really looked like a movieposter to me. Great job!
Very sorry about the DQ - it was one of the best in the challenge IMHO. Love the composition, lighting, and moody tones. Well done (although I'm sure you learned a tough but valuable lesson regarding text in entries).
EDIT: Don't let it get you down. I received my first DQ recently and was told it was sort of like an initiation rite of passage... ;-)
Really a powerful one, I love the postprocess, too, and that talkative composition with the lighting. I am sure this would have done well. Don't be upset, because of the DQ, we are not running for our lives here. You see, a DQ won't take off the value of such a great photo, cheer up! ;-)
