Thanx everybody for the kind comments! The picture was also intended as a personal introduction to DPC. I knew that it wasn't exposed too well, but after a long time of fiddling around with the frame, I didn't have the time to set up the appropriate light. So for me, it turned out well.
For some reason circumventing the rules in this fashion bothers me, but I'm not screaming about it because I suspect you are totally legal. This just strikes me as magazine COVER, not as a shot for the cover. It's cute in its own way. 5 nards656
This is just cute. How about adjusting the white balance if you can. The Border just helps to show the bad skin tones. All in all the idea is wonderful. :-)
LOL very clever, creative and a great idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEAT work. Maybe a little bit dark but I do love this. Good work, job well done. Justine
Clever idea, lacks in execution a bit in my opinion. The overall tones are a bit too dark, and the red border of the magazine is uneven. A very clever image nevertheless.
