You will find there this work and some more.
thank you so much for providing this amazing piece of art!
- you flashed, didn't you? It tells, the sign and that patch above her head are glowing in a radioactive kinda way and you can see the sun rays coming from the side i.e. no way they coulda made that light?? Her upper half esp. her head is also very filled in with light.. not possible with all that hair there. Perhaps i'm wrong, but either way it looks like a cheap flash. Flash isn't needed here. Maybe shoot RAW and tone fill light up a notch? Whatever, this just has a really photoshopped feeling to it.
- composition is fine in most respects, though i rarely find a pic with the object of attention perfectly centered and unfortunately this isn't one of them. I would have said if centered, MUCH lower i.e. ground-level or REALLY high from above (above the sign?) ... or just some form or other of the thirds rule... or who knows...
- possibly relating to composition, it's a bit slanted... just enough to drive me nuts
k thats it. everything else i like
I bounced a strobe flash on a gold large reflector on her from where the hard shadows laid upon her with the sun setting hard off low to the side. Also I cropped the image here for better veiwing. Since I don't want my images stolen for print, I wanted the public to see the detail of the model and colors. So as far as composition goes, this is why I did that. I do like the full perspective better. Shows more of the sky, sides and below....so no worries. I get what you're saying.
A cheep flash and camera it is not. The idea of keeping things so I don't have to photoshop is more a traditional way to go about photography. The day of photo manipulation is easier then getting the shot exact from the 1st place. I'd rather practice my training and what I know to deal with available light then just changing it the digital darkroom. Don't get me wrong, I did edit it, but only enough to sharpen, contrast and make the image printable.
This shot was picked to be published and spotlighted. I guess they thought it was ok . If I pleased everyone, then my work wouldn't be worth talking about.
Thanks.
