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). I'll be picking one of these images for my Mu (most underrated) award:
Positives: This is a very eclectic image - I like that! It becomes really interesting when I start to consider how to pull it off. Fortuitous, or did you vision this image before you started; either way it is a compelling image. The hand as it overlaps with the leg(?) looks quite frightening; the thumb nail looks talon-like - I know it isn't but that is how it looks.
Critical stuff: Size - this is a small image, too small really - I presume this is a small crop of a larger image and if I'm honest the thought of that detracts a little, I'd like to believe this was an intentional, crafted shot - perhaps it is, but the small size offers some doubt.
Overall: I shouldn't be too harsh, I do like it. |
