Love the framing here. The ecpression on her face makes her look a little bored, but the more I think about that, the more it reminds me of a lot of expressions I've seen in the fashion mags.

The Heighth Of Swordmaster Fashion

WHile this is an interesting subject and a different take on the challenge, I think this could be made more interesting (and perhaps a little less visually distracting in the background) by shooting from a slightly different angle.

The focus is very odd in this shot. Bits seem to be out of focus, and other adjacent bits which should be in focus are not. Also, there seesm to be some halos around parts of the image - the right knee and thigh, the left shoulder, a couple of other spots. The composition is interesting, and I think it would be more so if the focus issues were not there.

Always in Fashion
by Arcanist

Comment:
Not sure that I get what exactly is 'always in fashion'... the vest and shirt? Peavey sound systems? Bald guys with weird expressions? There's quite a bit going on in this pic, and while it is optically in focus, conceptually it is a little scattered. So I have to ask, what's the point? Not as a rhetorical question, but seriously. Where should my attention be drawn when I initially look at this? If it's the guy, how could he be isolated more from the background to make him the prominent subject? If it's the clothes, how could that be shown? If it's the amps, again, how could they be better showcased?

Make-Up: Alluring Deception

Interesting concpet and image. Might be a little dark, but I think the end result is a very moody 'feel' to the pic. Am looking forward to reading your comments to find out how this was achieved.

Good lighting, nice color. The pose is good till you get to the face. I would rather see him looking slightly toward the floor and smiling, or looking straight at the camera with a 'I'm sexy and I know it' look. The quizzical look he has on his face just kind of mucks up the 'feel' of this as a 'fashion photo'.

Shades Couture

I have to be brutally honest here. This looks like a shot you'd get back on a roll of film from a camera that was passed around at a frat party after all the girls had left and the beer was gone and there wasn't anything else to do. The lighting is harsh, the composition just does not work, and the focus seems off.

Had to look up 'antipodean', but I think I now get what you're going for. Maybe. :)

Tres Chic (Soi le Portrait)

Comment:
Don't care for the reddish cast to the pic. The lighting is very harsh and not at all flattering. Not sure I can really see a connection to 'fashion'. It's an ok prtrait, but I just can't quite make the connection to the challenge.

New Fashion Trend
by Nikolai1024

Comment:
Cute and unusual picture, but I'm not sure that simply calling it a new fashion trend makse it one, nor does it make the picture fit the challenge. As far as the picture itself goes, it's cropped too tight on the left, the background is very busy and distracting, and this has a look of a spur-of-the-moment snapshot.
