Just stumbled across this image while browsing your portfolio. Sensational! The oil has produced a magnificent effect, and the lighting is excellent. Great work!

Greetings from the Critique Club!

COMPOSITION... I really like the tones in this image, as opposed to keeping it in its original color. Also would work well in black and white! Cropping's okay... I would lean toward's briphoto's comment on the image being cropped too tightly. Symmetry works here, maybe not as strongly as some of the other challenges but its still there, despite the asymmetry of the tattoo - its close enough not to count in my books. Not sure if there is too much water - its just an unnatural part of the body for drops of water (simulating beads of sweat) to appear, so maybe sparser drops of water could have been called for, or maybe even none...


TECHNIQUE... There's an overall softness to the photo that I can't account for. Perhaps its the inherent softness of digital images, as opposed to shaking the camera or other errors... You can try a little unsharp masking to correct this. Contrast in the photo can be enhanced in the highlights range if you look at a histogram of the image. A minor levels adjustment can correct this.

OVERALL... A very artistic and interesting abstract... Nicely toned and appealing to the eye :)

If you somehow mentioned in the title what you have in the "Photographer's Comment" above, along with the fact that you're female -- I'm pretty sure every guy here would have given you a 10!

i'm just impressed that hot chicks let you mist them up with a spray bottle and photograph some of their more intimite crevices. they never let me get away with anything even close to that.

how can you give this a low score?just wish the tatoo was more symmetrical 9

Someone broke out in a cold sweat. Usually I'd have guessed it was the viewer, not the subject.

Maybe a little less mist on the skin...looks like you used a mister. Lighting is good. Maybe without the thong, and landscape aspect so more of the bottom and tattoo showing?

I think this is cropped too tightly, I want to see more of the subject.

Nice symmetry. Like the water drops too!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

A very clever and sexy shot. To me, the spray detracted from it because the balance was off set by the size of the dropletts. Still got a high mark.

uh . . . i think the tatoo is a little off ;-P
04/01/2003 07:56:35 PM
I like my asses a little dryer. Nice concept though. I would like to have seen more of the tatoo too.

Symmetry? Yes, sure. But slightly out of focus (might be focussing or might be motion blur), and I think the whole oiled-up-and-splashed-with-waterdrops idea is a bit used. If you allow my testosterone-ridden chauvinism to be heard for a second; Nice ass ;) (5)

Very nice. like the water drop's

nice clear image, this is sharp and in focus, nice choice of the subject, the beads of water really add to the picture

good job, the symetry pulls the picture together.

No really its a good concept and very well taken. I'm not giving it a 10, but I will give it a 7. The tattoo brings asymmetry with it. Very very nice.

very strong image, excellent balance. It looks like it's off by about 1.5 degrees right rotation. The tatto is also a bit off. I like the drops of water on the model though.

too much water, panty line should be straight, a bit dark on my monitor, great concept but could have been better 6

well executed, though I think the water is a bit overdoing it. 8

The crop, the girl, the light.....fantastic. I just find the focus too soft for this shot.
Over all this is really good.....congrats.

How did you get the water to bead up like that?

Let me get you a towel :) = 10 - setzler

neato!! The tattoo gives much to the photo as well as detail of the sweat.
