Congratulations on your 16th placing. Top 20 here is very good because this was a hot challenge. Your image impressed me and I delight in seeing again. You did a very good job.
The white thing is actually a couch in the lobby of my studio, not a bed, so it was very hard to get all of her on the thing, that's why there is that corner.
I have never seen the movie "Titanic", so I thought everyone was talking about Titan- the Renaissance painter. Hence, I was pretty darn confused!
And I like her tattoo and piercing, because it places the picture in the modern era very specifically, even though it's soft and classy. Kind of a little postmodern thing I guess.
I love your model's comfortable, matter-of-fact gaze into the lens. I like how her dark eyes, hair, and lips punctuate the otherwise soft light image. Very nicely done.
nicely difused.. i think the softness fits the image well..bottom right corner bothers me though.. maybe reshoot with her moving so that you only get bed..still a good shot
I quite like this, I'm not to sure about the angle of composition, it is a little awkward for me to view. The problem is my eyes wander between her eyes and her breasts they are both equal focal points for me
The soft focus, unsharpned image works very well. It seems like a picture. Great shot. I saw some piece of something in the nose at bottom, may be a piercing that at first... third... look seems to be a noise distracting thing.
this looks like a renaissance painting. I love the soft treatment. I probably would have had her take out her nosepin though, seems out of place. very nicely done.
This reminds me of a painting - she's just so beautiful and the pose is somewhat Rubenesque. Note I don't mean that she's fat, I mean she looks sensuous. You've captured that very well. I think background lets this shot down a lot though, especially the edge of the bed being in frame.
I wasn't sure about this when I first saw it, but her face keeps drawing me back. It's so well focussed and would be an excellent portrait even if it was just her face. It really reminds me of the rubenesque paintings - it's just beautiful. Well done [7]
wowey, this photo is so reminiscent of a Victorian painting.
Many good things here and probably the image with the most potential I have seen thus far.
The soft focus is perfect - many try this but seldom get it right. The colors are to die for, muted a touch but with a vast range of differences.
Facial expression is Victorian and perfect for the photo - almost innocent i feel.
My gripes are with her lying on a bed - a nice chair or old settee would be more fitting I feel rather than everyday sheets. You can see all the crease etc in the sheet which takes a little away from the photo. 9
Wow, she's beautiful and that stare! That stare is what gets me. I love the soft focus and it's been used very well here. I only wish the edge of the bed/couch/whatever wasn't visible in the bottom right. Still, I give it a 9.
Good color and lighting, I think the soft focus works well. I don't have anything against nose rings or whatever, but in this case that little bright spot seems to attract too much attention away from your model's pretty face.
I like the softness in this shot... makes me want to lay down and take a nap (I mean that in a good way). The nose piercing is a little distracting to me though.
Very nice shot, with a classic art feel to it. Only the edge of the bed dectracts badly from this shot. Her expression makes this shot work so well. Nice soft-focus effect.
Very good head shot. You may consider cropping it to show head and shoulders only. Great eyes. The nose pin takes away from the model's beautiful face.
Amazing girl, i like the expression and the skin color... just the right amout of post procession... the air in relly good, beautifull eyes... and amazing lips.. well done... a10, a ribbon winner to me
i think an indirect gaze would have made for a better photo. the gaze is almost confrontational in its character. otherwise the technical aspects of the photo are very good, very 'professional' like.
