Sunflower on the Plains

The background is a bit distracting and since its' already blurred some why not try and add a little more gaussian blur to it? See what it looks like anyway...

Might want to boost the contrast a few notches on the flower. I've found that my Z3 shoots a bit flat (camera setting are at default - would rather correct in post-processing than in-camera).

SJ is right about the horizon...the tower in the back is tilted to the right a couple of degrees.

Chris - You know this could make a fun print. Have you considered taking the desat outer area and lowering the opacity some (I'm assuming you still have it available in layers) - where it is almost ghostlike in appearance? You would need to add additional border space to allow for framing (especially on the bottom left).

Just a thought. BTW, I've enjoyed the stir your post about this image has created. ;^)

Too bad your reflection had to show in the fender and bumper. Cool car, and nice angle to the image otherwise.

Wax Museum? Nice high-key approach...

Great album! ;^) Nice use of space in your composition. Like your choice of B/W to set the mood. The pose looks a bit forced (I think the album would be a bit tipped back if held naturally while walking). Good luck in the challenge.

Nice attention to detail with outside distractions. Nothing reflected in the mirror or visible out the window that would betray the year depicted. Lighting well balanced. Composition (interest) is fair. The 'Winnie the Pooh' ears are a bit of an attention getter...

Darn that house in the bottom right! Polarizer might have reduced some window reflections. Cool shot otherwise.

Interesting outfit. Appears that you spent time on preparing the model, why not spend just a few minutes more on the backdrop? Would have worked a bit better if she was sitting on the same material and the background wasn't wrinkled (ironed perhaps?). Sorry for the length of comment on the background, but it is very distracting...
