good work, I like this shot but there are a couple of things I would maybe consider for next time.... I think it would be worthwhile, if possible, to use a woman's hand to hold the purfume. I know that the idea is that you are spraying the purfume to remind yourself of her.... in that case... clean your fingernails... it is quite distracting and takes something away from the shot (in my opinion of course). Now this is nit-pick I know, but do something about the hangnail too..... it is only really minor things but I think they make the difference between a good and a great shot.....
Good Luck, Todd.
So far my favorite of the challenge. Composition, lighting - excellent! Love the capture of the spray - I can almost feel the mist on my skin. I see a ribbon for this one. :-)
Quite an intriguing image, and with the title to give guidance, tells a simple story in itself. I am sure many of us understand how certain smells can remind us of certain people, and have used that to feel closer to loved ones when separated from them.
Nice motion capture. Lighting and timing this must have been quite a trick. I wish there had been some way to do it with only the bottle and the perfume cloud, no hand.
