Thanks a lot for your comments on this shot. I think, that I don't have to tell you more about the setup, there is nothing special about it. But I'll try to answer on some of your comments:
- Why not horizontal? I tried that too, but it didn't look very impressive to me...
- Why I didn't centered the toothbrushes with the lips? You my be sure, that I tried that. But it is not very easy in the macro modus. The model has to stay absolutely motionless and a divergency of 2mm (it's not much more in this shot) is nerly unobservable due to the shooting 'stress'. I made about 20 shots with different expressions of the lips and finally I liked this one most. But unfortunately there are these 2mm distance from ' perfection' ;-)
- Why 2 toothbrushes and why is the toothpaste running together? Well, I can't remember where I saw that before. Maybe it was a german advertising spot. She is waiting for him in the bathroom and has prepared already everything for the united teeth brushing. I thought, that I can transform this story with the kiss in the background into a macro shot. Doesn't everyone want to start into a day with a view like that :-)?
Cute. Says a lot. Sure fits the challenge. Great idea. Love the texture of the lips. Don't think you could have made it any better. Just seems strange giving a 9 to this. It probable deserves a 10 photo wise. Maybe before the voting is over I'll come back. For right not 9 is it. Maybe I'll see the wow by then. PTL
How cute is that! I would like it balanced better with as much brush on the right and left and horizontal centering of the lips. This is very good photo with good clarity and lighting.
Love this shot! It's a winner. The only thing keeping me from giving it a 9 is the fact that it took awhile for me to figure out the toothpaste running together. In my humble opinion, there should have been the same degree of separateness in the paste as in the toothbrushes. Nevertheless, a great shot. 8. Bitz
