Great fun, great expression on the model. My missus always looks dead miserable when I want her to pose. The focus is a bit to sharp on the fish, and the light on the lady a bit too hot on the left of the picture.
Pretty cool illusion, but....if whe really had this sturgeon, it would be on the floor already (her grip is really loose!), I know, you couldn't get her fingers all the way around the tail. (I see the string too!) Funny! 8 Swash (she must be really strong! she's not straining at all!!!)
I think a more "natural" or outdoorsy background would have made this more effective. I am mostly wondering why you would own a fish like that! :-) karmat
For a second I was wondering why this didn't have an admin note (because at first glance it seems a likely candiate for one). Then I saw the string. Different lighting may have hidden that, and perhaps a little photo editing might have helped. But spiffy none the less.
The light is a bit bright on the woman. I can see the string on the fish, but what made me look for it was the fact that her fingers were not actually holding the fish!
funny. Not sure if I like the lighting on her face, I think a soft fill light over your right shoulder would of helped. Also, that sheet needs an ironing! :)
I like the picture, the expression, the concept , the humor in it ... but maybe it's only me ... I really totally not like seeing the fabric in the background. You should try a different setup, longer focal. The light is a little too bright int he upper left corner. 5 as it , a potential 7 for me. Lionel
Play around with the light(s), it doesn't make a nice piture the way it is done now. The fish is ok, but the lady is blown out on one side and too much in the shade on the other side. Sloppy background and the line where the fish hangs on is still visable.
