Gazing Into The Glitter
by drgsoell

Very good idea. Since the colors of the glitter are so stark, which is okay, I would have selected the glitter, inversed it and used levels to darken the background in its original color. Of course, forgive me, I am suggesting a different picture. Still the idea is supreme !

from the critique club:
You have captured superb coloration. Its' only minor flaw is the slight yellow cast which required only a slight tweak. The idea is creative and very well presented. The reflective expression wins hands up. Also, the composition is very strong and the model a sweetheart. Now let us consider if we can improve on this idea.
The first item to discuss is the dual focus points. It seems to me that the reflection in the image is the winner. Not enough time spent in seeking the best angle of the profile, I even see a part of her cheeks at the lip juncture. Since this idea is so effective, I would even advise its redo. Our hindsight here is 20-20. Consider changing the color of the garment to a lighter tone. This would reduce the sharp focus of the profile and shed some reflective light on the mirrored figure. After such alteration you may want a lighter background. To avoid critical color correction it may even be better to allow some hair to frame the left of the frame. You will still have a dual focus but the viewers will be more hard pressed to find minor faults. Whenever, you shoot people I always suggest to do a white balance shot. This helps keep the tones honest.
Again, you did a very good job and with a minor tweak to rid the slight yellow tinge, it remains an impressive image and one worthy of your port. dan

Very good work and great attention to detail. Of course, the viewer wants the gold artifact sharper, but you have ourdone yourself with the eye make-up. Great image.

Very nice and magical. The gloves added that extra touch. Since you will keep this special image, I would consider taking the clone tool and removing some of the wrinkles. This will up the value of this very creative study.

This is a wondeful and funny shot. The model is right on the money. Of course, you complicated your challenge by using the gelatin. here you have a density problem where the the stuff goes from red to almost purple black. You have a very good picture and to make it super all you need do is take the dodger tool and work on the heavy mass to bring out some of the red. In this way, it will match the shade in the mouth. You do not want to overdo it, just enough to give the viewer a little help with the association. Still, it is a very pleasing study.
