This was one of my real favourites in the November free study. Don't understand the score at all. I gave it a 9, so find it hard to see how it ended where it did.
Wonderful work. Such evocation of the Polaroid. the imbalance of the composition creates a vertigo in which we think this boy will fall into the sea. 9
I don't really know why but I really love this picture! Maybe it's the aged feel from the post-processing... or the ambiguity of the model's gender... or how seemingly shy s/he is... 10
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 the Mu (most underrated) award:
Positives: I really love the coloration here - I have a shot in my head that needs to be coloured this way; I hope you might share your colouring workflow. This is a fine and moody scene but your PP is so well matched that it elevates the scene to a whole new level. The composition is pretty fabulous too.
Critical stuff: Nothing at all.
Overall: A great image that is made special by the PP.
Is it "in" to have a polaroid feel on photos? 2nd one I've seen on 27 images. It's a darned fine photo anyway thoug, and the polaroid effect suits it very well!
