One of my favorite models ... one of my gargoyles.
Taken with a 70-200mm 2.8L IS lens from the other side of the room. Room was totally dark then lit by a Mini-Maglite with a fiber optic attachment. Moved the light around trying to get more light on the areas of interest.
Harldy anything done to it.
Cropped and resized
Removed a dead pixel
Sharpened
Added border

Greetings from the CC, well you have certainly produced a photo with some emotional content, granted its a bit of a creepy feeling that it gives me, but hey its a feeling! You have done a very good job on this shot IMO< not too much to critique, The lighting certainly serves to add a feeling of 'evil' as does the composition it really seems like this gargoil is creeping out of the nite shadows. Even tho it is a fairly central comp, the subjects positioning still makes for an interesting comp. The border even works well for your shot ( i generally hate borders) it is subtle yet adds a containment for the solid black bckgrnd. Very nice job, creepy but nice, I will leave him alone now : )
keep up the good work! and happy shooting!
Interesting effect. Almost looks as if lit by firelight. Maybe a red tint would enhance that impression. On the second go through, I upped the score on this one point. Looks even better the second time around.
Just perfect. I cannot say anything negative about this photo. (Thinner border perhaps, but that's just my taste). Beautifully done and dead on with the challenge topic.
The moving light has created a flickering feel - makes us look again to see if the gargoyle moved. Very myterious and unnerving. Lovely detail, great composition - 10
A great picture - but (for me) not one that seems to be "painting with light" certainly is dramatic and well positioned and makes a sinister object even more sinister. There appears to be no "movement" of the light source or use of long exposure and seperate light sources to create what I would call painting with light
This works. The subject and the challenge go so well together. You've really brought out the demon-character with the moving light treatment. I'd have given a higher score had the gargoyle been much lower in the frame. That would really have brought out the 'waiting to spring into action' feeling here. 7
