i allmost commented on this in Icelandic while the challenge was still on.. really thought this must be from Iceland. But on wiht the comment.. love your work!
Back to bump you up. Now here's something you don't see everyday.. :) This shot has a cool look - great lines and I love the blue tone. Very creative. 9
From the threads I've read, some voters are suggestig that peoople are not 'things'. I hope this doesn't stop this image grabbing a ribbon. It is far and away my fav of the challenge.
Wow, this is a really cool shot. What a great, creative idea. To me, that looks like maybe a self storage unit? Works good :-) Looks like it naturally creates a really interesting lighting effect. This is just a really engaging image. The placement of the subject is great. You've really made the centered comp work well here. In some way, the model works in this room, yet it still has this way surreal out of place feeling. Hehe, and I gotta know, what did you have to bribe 'em with to pose for you? :-) Actually, it looks like it was a real fun shoot. I really like this, great job!
What an interesting combination of subject and room. Looks more like a statue than a person to me. Something that's on my mind here is the very pale skin, which I presume was intentional. 7 for now.
