yeah now this is art and truely tastefull. very neat to! I am taking notes to learn from you :) Thankyou for leaving commnts on how you photoshop your photos.
I think with this shot, its the "implied" nudity thats there. Who cares if he's nude or not .. the fact that the figure is silhouetted leaves the option of him being nude out there, I don't think you should actually have to see a naked body.
I gave this photo a 5, which is the highest mark I ever give for a photo that (in my opinion) doesn't fit the theme of the challenge. How do I know the person is nude? They could be wearing clothes for all I know. It just didnt fit my perception of the nude challenge.
In a free study challenge I probably would have given it 8. I like the colouring and the sky and the pose, but it think it goes too dark too quick at the bottom. I would have preferred to see a more gradual fade to black so that more of the hill/mountain could be visible.
OMG I can't believe you weren't at least in the top ten .... wow .. Its funny cause I looked at the first two pages and thought - Oh No! It must've been disqualified :( Then low and behold I find in at a 5.7 ... tsk tsk .. I don't understand why 100 people would give this ONLY a 5. I'm sorry it didn't work out as well as I'm sure you were hoping ... better luck next time and keep it up :)
Nude isn't all about private parts folks! ;-)
Thanks for all of the positive comments, I greatly appreciate it. Azrifel suggested a square crop, maybe that would be better, I'll try that, thanks! Otherwise I was trying to balance the photo with my composition, having the clean heaven at the top against the dark ground at the bottom.
The idea was that the man is standing there like on a top of a peak nearest to the almighty, hoping to find some answers for his questions; "what is the meaning of life?", "what is the naked truth?" (I shortened it to "The naked truth?"). I understand that people couldn't get the idea, but on the other hand, the model is butt-naked, that shouldn't be questioned or doubted. Have a nice day, yehaaa...!
Breathtaking .. will be back later to add more of why I absolutely love this shot
Ok y... there's really no critcism I can give you for this shot .. it says so much, how the land is disappearing into the fog, the man perfectly silhouetted, the colors beauitful, its just great. Its most definetely my favourite. VERY well done.
Very cool photo. :) Perhaps the man is standing on a small hill, but the photo gives the feeling that he is standing on top of one of the higher mountains.
Did you use an upside down ND to get this?
I think it would also look very good in a square crop.
This photo reminds me to heida's style, sorry If I am mistaken. The shades of blue are wonderful, the silhouette is expressive. I might have cropped a little-little bit on the bottom, but alltogether a wonderful, simple shot!
Perfect! This is the winner in my eyes. It is tastefully done and the lighting is portraying a man on a quest, everything a nude challenge should be! Well done!
Interesting shot, great mood. Not really sure how this fits the spirit of a nude challenge for me personally... at that distance and in silhouette, it is hard to make out if he is nude, and in fact it becomes irrelevant. Great composition though, and nice graduations in tone. The figure looks oversharpened.
