That is an extraordinary picture. The use of softness is one thing, but the use of lighting to work on shadows is what really brings beauty to this... I wish I could fave this.
Made me go and grab my camera and show it the pic. makes me want to go out and get a beautiful wife more... :) |

I think initially it just left a bad taste in my mouth.
Probably not a good choice of words, especially if your trying to end the argument. LMAO!
As for the photo, its very pleasing to the eye. You can walk through all of these photos, and this one holds your attention. Very calmly dramatic, if that makes sense.
Now for the wife, tell'r to relax it would be a very difficult task to take a bad photo of somebody so stunning. |

Hey, yanno what? You have the most beautiful models in your life ;) (Macey and the kids)
Your wife is stunning, the pose is awesome her facial expression has a story behind it and its up to us to figure out what she is feeling in the moment.. I love that.
I'm not huge on the selective desat stuff however I am thrilled to see the score exceeded both of your expectations. Congrats on the top 5!!! Sorry to hear the shoot caused some upset within your lives.. however, the result of you working together was beautiful. |

a lot of people predicted you for a ribbon ... me included.
this is one of the best compositions i've seen for a while. you should stick this on dcprints ... you'd sell a stack of them! :)
i gave you a 10 and a comment ... why anyone would vote below 5 is beyond me ...
brilliant work. well done! |

| Looks like you can cross an item off your list (get another 7+. I am going to have to say that if you eliminated the people who voted this down for the selective desat you probably would have won (or at least ribboned). I do like the lighting that you used and I myself love the desat. Congrats on the top 5 finish in any event. |

Howevr you have a terrific model and probably better images than this 7 |

| Certainly a beautiful shot, but a few things jump out at me. The selective desaturation works well for this particular image, but the skins seem to be overly smooth. I think you went a little heavy on the NeatImage. As far as the pose in concerned, the placement of the hands feels a little "forced". The expression is great and the model is certainly beautiful, but the forced placement of the hands takes away from the overall "pensive" feel to her expression. |

The red totally kills this shot for me. The image is no longer about the expression, the light or the pose anymore, it's about that blazing red thing. You have a lovely model, the focus should be on her expression, her pose, her form and how the light plays and interacts with them.
Without the red - 8
With the red - 3
Yes, I think it's that obnoxious. |

Now this looks like Judi's work to me with the high key and scarlet.
I think it's a beautifully lit and composed shot. I like the tension between the high key and scarlet wrap. If I was going to nitpick I would say that the model ends up looking a little 'lopsided', but all in all a great shot. |

| Photographer found comment helpful. |
|
|
01/29/2007 01:58:08 AM |
| Good composition, but the excessive neatimage / overlaid gaussian blur makes this look far too unpleasantly plastic. This isn't helped by the way the image appears to have been desaturated - try using the channel mixer with more green and less red from the original image to make the skin tones look less pasty. |

| The red may be too bold or perhaps over-balanced. Pulls away from the subject. Needs red at the top. Perhaps re-shoot and instead of the model covering her breasts have her holding a red rose or apple. |

Very nicely done, Todd. Soft pose, perfect lighting as always. The partial desat is a little bit cliche for me, but that's a personal preference. the rest of the shot is more than good enough to make up for it...should go over well with the DP crowd :)
By the way...offer Macey my congratulations on getting the ripped bod back...no way I'd have guessed she was a mom of two if I didn't know better.
Good on ya both...excellent entry.
