| Hey Kelli. I gave this a 5. I think you have a couple things missing here that Librodo tends to have in his images. The first is the one that you pointed out - dramatic lighting. The light is pretty flat and dull which is going to cause other issues. That dramatic lighting (both caught and enhanced in postprocess) is going to help create that POP that Librodo images have. Without it your colors come off as drab and your models eyes don't stand out. Which is a bummer because she certainly has lovely eyes - great color that could be enhanced, and you have pleasing base colors in the veil. But the lighting doesn't help to take advantage of that. The other issue that I am having is with the really tight crop. You have presented pretty much a straightforward head shot where a little more room and maybe a slightly different angle (from slightly above to make her eyes a bit more open and intentionally looking) would allow for more flow in the image, that the elements of the image would lead us to her eyes rather than just being around them. Drama. Librodo images capture drama - in lighting, color, connection and flow. And in a challenge with that theme, those are the things that I was looking for. Hope that helps and that I wasn't too harsh. |
