If she'd taken off her glasses, this would've gotten a posthumous ribbon (not because I don't like glasses but because it would have been even harder to recognize the forms). Not that you need more posthumous ribbons. They're probably clogging the drain already.
The second girl isn't very evident. But I still love this picture. I might have taken off her glasses...a little distracting. But overall a really nice pic. A bit of enigma, a bit of abstract, a bit of grunge.
This photo is fascinating in it's mystery and texture. Definitely not a run of the mill shot and lacking in many technical areas, but it doesn't seem to matter. I enjoy it. 7
OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy):
Positives: Wow, brave image to stick in a DPC FS - I love it!! I presume this is a reflection in a distressed polished surface...? It serves you very well creating a look we normally only see with overlays. The subject matter is sublime - we see enough but not too much and our eye is constantly led away to the sharp details of the reflective surface itself. The title intrigues me.... Two Girl? Does this allude to the reflection and thus suggest that this is a self portrait?
Critical stuff: I have none, I love this image... I'm between a 9 and a 10, I don't know where I'll end up with it, but it will get one of those.
Overall: Excellent work - I'd love to see more people post up this sort of material.
