This image has stuck in my brain, and now I no longer look at lemons in quite the same way.
The technical mastery and clever use of vermeer light aside, just very well seen. You have expanded my world just a bit, which is what art is supposed to do.
nice technicals with the shot, but the lemons don't fit for me. Maybe if they looked like HER breasts it would work, but they don't, and it just misses for me. Still scored it up though, it is very well done.
I think this is a very strong image. LOL, and I just now noticed the piercing on the left-most lemon! That is cool. I like the lighting and the pose of the model. Great focus and I think the composition works well.
LOL... this is probably the most entertaining image I've seen in this challenge. The lemons are well chosen. I particularly like the pierced lemon. Bravo!!!
Nice job. I feel that you have every thing right. The only thing is, I find that the lemons are a little distracting. Maybe if there was not as many or something. Who knows six of one, half a dozen of another. I'm sure that one person will tell you one thing, and another will tell you something else. Good Luck. 9
Sorry ... I'm not a big fan of nipple piercing.... I mean lemon piercing! Hey.. that's great, I didn't notice that the first time through. I like your lighting and the composition. Bumping up to an 8.
nice idea and composition, but didn't notice the pierced lemon on first and second look, had turned it to the center and had used less lemons on the plate. good lighting.
Very original use of a nipple piercing... ;-) Love the texture contrast between the lemon skin and the model's skin. Nice contrast of colors too. Suggestions: bend elbow more downwards to accentuate the waist. Crop more horizontal to emphasize the lenght of the body (instead of an almost square crop at the moment). Ask your model to slightly add some tension in her fingers so it won't look numb. And finally, a slightly softer light on the lemons might have made them complement more the model instead of standing out so much more than the model (maybe desaturating the yellow a bit would also help). Very nice entry. Good luck!
Beautiful light. There's something very classical in the composition and the lighting. The model's ribs stand out as sort of anachronistic, given the style- one expects a more, well, Rubenesque figure.
The model looks nearly as cold as some of the lemons :-)
Not sure about the deviant lemon with the nipple ring . . is there a seperate social commentry about how this piercing makes it stand out from the crowd, or maybe it's been rejected by them . . will we ever know for sure? good shot - hope the lemon finds friends of it's own :-)
mabe without them I'd lke this image better, allthough,... mm, maybe I do like it. lighting is awesome, also the smooth and white skin of your model is nice. focus on the lemons is a good choice, I think.
Generally I do not mind visible ribs, having been very thin for a long time myself. Here I think because the ribcage is in the center of the shot, the pattern of shadows competes for attention. Possibly light from a different angle, or angling the body would help? Or really, just a different composition would probably do a lot, since it wouldn't be in the center anymore. But I do realize that would make your shot totally different, and I do like it. (I should also add that I think the body is beautiful! Very graceful and elegant.)
Oh gosh, I just noticed the ring on the lemon on the left! How totally awesome!!
I think you did a great job with lighting. The dark areas of the body on the right and left blend into the negative space in a really cool way. The colors are great. This is an image where it looks like the levels are a bit off but instead of that being a problem, it actually works very nicely.
beautiful. soft light, excellent sharpness and lots of depth. the lemons add a nice touch of texture colour. The nipple ring would have been far more amusing if she had one too, but i like it anyway :)
