Stunning lighting. I wish we could see this shot in higher resolution. 640pxls does not give justice to this super shot.

this one I really like! Actually, maybe I'd like it even more in b/w. I am not sure I get the red tint at the top of the photo.

02/04/2007 04:13:57 PM
great shot. this is more effective in portraying emotion than many others in the challenge and the processing is very ncie.

I absolutely lovely this. The only thing I would change is crop out some of the top portion to zoom in on her more. Beautiful!

love the lighting and the processing of your entry. great pose, compo.. yes. 10!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/01/2007 01:05:46 PM
Thing that appeals to me with this is the funky squares of coloured light. Pose is emotive and the colours soften that up a bit.. we've all been down the rabbit hole and this picture captures the mood beautifully yet it remains hopeful. I love it.

Brilliant use of light and shadow! Very emotive.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/30/2007 11:52:28 PM
Very cool image. Great setting. What an awesome use of shadows here. I really like the processing. A very moody, brooding piece, I like it very much. Great job!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/30/2007 06:57:40 PM
I just love this one. Great light, tones, and composition. Congrats.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/30/2007 06:15:14 PM
Lovely use of light and shadow... not so keen on the saturated colour though - I think that pink patch to the top pulls focus away from the model. Black and white with a single colour tone would work better for me. Great shot though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/30/2007 04:12:00 PM
This is really good, everything works. 9 (First time round) bumped to 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/30/2007 04:00:40 PM
Beautiful shot! Would have worked well in B & W too. I like your choice of the gels on the lights/windows.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/30/2007 02:02:17 PM
Great photo. The lighting and subtle colour is exquisite. Subject is sharp and the tonal range is excellent. Very powerful composition. Image really grabs you.

Nice tone, great shadows
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/30/2007 07:14:46 AM
good pose, good lighting and composition. like the color play, but toning is a tad too saturated for my taste
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/30/2007 06:35:38 AM
I like this one, re th emotion and lonelyness.....
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/30/2007 06:32:53 AM
Love it! Love the light, love the composition, love the shadows! Great job!

Nice use of natural light (I hope that's what it is!) Nicely framed and wonderful tones.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/29/2007 09:46:17 PM
One of my favorites. I like the unusual pattern of shadows you've created, combined with some dramatic and interesting color. The pose in the corner of the room is used a lot but is done really well here. I'm getting the sense that she's nude and vulnerable without having to actually see it. Great job.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

WOW, so thoughtful, so intense...Love it!!! 9

I see your interpretation others may not but I like this others may vvote it down
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/29/2007 02:05:02 PM
As much as I like this image and the model is nude, I can't rate it very high since the nude is not the main image it is the emptiness that draws me to this. Love the lighting though very well done, just not a nude in the sense that nude is the main part. Hope I made sense.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/29/2007 01:58:33 PM
Very emotive - excellent use of shadows and color.

This is great. Nice warm tones, tastefully done and beautiful light and exposure. Subject looks natural and not possed. Beautiful details can be found in this somewhat simple image. Very nicely done. Good luck with the challenge!!!
