4.8?!?!? that's bull****! Sorry you got screwed on this one. great idea. I actually voted on this and never even realized who she was which is not cool concidering Odyssey is still in love with her and asks often when she'll see her again. We live in Mississippi now so probably never, but she still asks. and I doubt she'll ever stop asking. lol :P
i knowe i'm coming in late on this but i cannot believe this finished so low....Cool concept, a beautiful model with a sexy body, i mean what more do you want? well anyway i am adding to my favs
One of the most interesting and provocative submissions. Pure studio nudes wouldn't normally come to mind as a subject for contre-jour but you pulled it off in a most fascinating and appropriate way. There probably will be a few, not many, voters that feel studio shots cannot be contre-jour but the quality of your image will carry the day. Your model is attractive, you flattered her in composition, particularly with her facial lighting. BW is good and tones are excellent. Sharpness is just right. Great job!
I wont comment abt the technicalities because from that perspective you nailed it, but it looks so obvious that she is holding the light between her legs. That takes a little way from the photo.
I’m just not feeling that this is within the Contre-jour technique. Nice shot just not what I think when I’m looking for Contre-jour. Although this I think is every man's dream to find one that glows like that! WOW!!!
Your title is quite fitting. Very much so a beauty. I'm prety sure you are taking a pounding in voting. I wish you luck, you did a great job with exposure and lighting.
Holding a flashlight isn't creating the true sense of contre jour. There should be a light source illuminating her entire back, not the mottled backdrop. The shadow on the left is behind her and it should be in front. If I were critiquing this as just a "normal" photo, I'd have her move away from the background, eliminating the shadow altogether. She's lovely and the tones and contrast are right, but to me, this does not meet the definition of the challenge.
Haha, this will create an outcry from the anti-nudity DPC'ers. I am giving this a 10 to offset the 1's you're going to get. As far as the photo, the background is a bit distracting, a black background would have worked better in my opinion.
