I liked this image...the background suits it. I completely understood the pick in hair (very retro!). And I liked that you could see the individaul hairs. Although, there is the one spot near the pick that is blurred and not as crisp as the rest. I also wasn't keen on your title.
I liked this shot a lot but scored it lower than I wanted to b/c I thought that looked like a piece of asparagus in his hair. Was it trying to be a feather? why is it there? (these were my thoughts) My friends & I do that sometimes with pencils to hold our hair up, but then I didn't get the relationship to chocolate...sorry! boy I think I'd better walk to work today!
A very artful shot this is. Great idea. I like the background texture and tone to the shot. Have to agree with some of the others where I would've liked to see this one without the dreadlock.
This image is very captivating and interesting. I love the feel of the photo and I love that it tells you so much info without "showing" the viewer anything. Well done.
Lovely Silhouette. I like the way you back lit the subject. The pick in the hair ads an unusual touch. Was your subject an original Aussie? Very nice. Congrats.
