Now that you've finished with my money can I have it back?
Great picture.I agree that a slightly darker spread would have been better.Have you tried the shot in B/W ? Can we see more of Emma ?
Love the colour of her hair, it would look great in the sunlight.
i think that if you tried a light feathered edge around the washed out spots to the lower right and left, that might solve your lightness problem and give it a little dreamy effect and shift the focus even more to emma and the money under her. or would that be too campy?
about emma's wrinkled forehead: that's a much more natural and seductively innocent expression than if you told her to try not to raise her eyebrows as she gives the ''come hither'' look. people tend to get hung up too much on wrinkles as a sign of aging, and if you're stuck on that then i guess you can argue that the wrinkles are a foreshadowing of the premature aging that will come with a loose lifestyle.
but i really believe that seeing an attractive young woman make her forehead wrinkle can be seductive, playful, and even beatiful, and can tell a story. [i would've liked it if emma's wrinkles had a more even pattern, but that's up to nature, and she's _really_ pretty no matter what. ;] ] so i think telling the model to change her expression or pose to avoid forehead wrinkles or brushing down bangs to try to hide them or worse airbrushing them or editing them away is a disservice.
I ran into this pic again and I remembered it from the challenge. Yes, sex sells, but besides that it is also a great pic. I like the exposure, your friend Emma really stands out. The hair, skin tones, the blue of the lingerie and subject shadow detail are captured.
The wall on the upper right balances very well with the hair, while the edge between the wall and the bedd adds perspective. Because the right side is blown out exposurewise all focus is on Emma. The way the money is distributed over the bed (could use the wrong word there, English is not my first language) adds depth.
Her position is very good. Original and giving a good profile, definitely creating a feeling of lust (altough I will not pay). :-)
To come back on the exposure, I think you did a good job. The main subject is really good, the overexposure on the right and around the money is a justified tradeoff.
first impression -- this looks like wonder in wonderland with shorter hair. mag99, is this your shot? love the angle and how the bed and money looks high-key while the girl doesn't. challenge -- met technical -- well done, some uneven light on the wall (right side melts into the bed, left has definite difference in color) but overall great composition -- very nice with the unusual angle from above and her turning back to look up. wish she wasn't wrinkling her forehead like that, but that's nitpicky. overall -- 8 from gr8photos
Good idea. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to be darker, considering the sin? Also, I think this woman would be worth more than just $1 bills. Plus, she doesn't look trashy enough to be a prostitute. That should be a compliment to your model.
Looks like about $50, kinda cheap, don't you think? Looks more like $200 or so. Really nice photo! Very effective shot. Pretty good color, but in places seems over exposed (leg, some of the bills - {ALL SINGLES!}) Don't worry!!! 9 Swash
now i like freckles and all but the bottom part of the image is a little light along with the background--i think i know your concept though--7bobgaither
