This hads a real painting feel to it, I may have tried some dodging and burning of the blanket to give an even stronger contrast.

I love the rich colors and textures in this picture.

Beautiful lighting and composition. Focus is too soft on face in contrast to clear focus on foreground fabric. Great mood shot!

I love the lighting of this shot. I also dig on the softness....some people might rip into you for it, but I think that it really helps set the mood here. The texture of the blanket vs. the couch is great!

a bit unsharp + too much noise. nice setup though.

Very nice, the shadows and higlights on the blanket are very nice

Love the shapes and the lighting though it is a touch hot on her face and the back of the couch. The composition is excellent.

nice shot, the blanket looks great cause of the sharpening i assume, however i think the sharpening on the blanket makes the face a little odd looking, still a great shot!

The noise really adds to it

as a picture I love it...has a soft feeling........not sure about the mood

Great capture. I love the composition and the lighting. It would be a stronger image if her face was in sharper focus.

nice softness. Perhaps too much contrast on the face (blown out whites)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice photo. I think her face would be better if it were more in focus, and the light on the side of her face not as bright, with more blur in the foreground. I like the cropping colour tones and feel of the photo. 8

Burnt out highlights on the face are a shame, as it's otherwise a really nice mood shot. Not quite sure about the almost square crop. Some great textures.

The point of focus appears to be on her knees, which is slightly distracting, but a nice shot.. Was this posed? I'd be interested to know.. 7

i would have liked to see a less grainy, more sharply focused face. But a do like the cool colors and interesting shadows
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I love the way the light is falling on her..it really adds to the mood..very peaceful.

Very nice composition and control of the lighting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

oooh - great colors, great shapes under the blanket great leading lines - what if you crop closer on the left and bottom to get rid of the distracting highlights on the couch? leave it inigmatic where she is sleeping?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

very nice but would love to see it with the focus on the face, and less noise
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/02/2005 01:52:15 AM
exposure is what kills it for me, all those blown highlights on her face (and on the couch too)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/01/2005 11:29:42 PM
Focus on the face can be more interesting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/01/2005 08:37:22 PM
I like this. I even like that the focal point is NOT her face (at least it doesn't appear to be).
