TEEN MODE

Great balance of colors and tones. The presentation at an angle works well.

I hope that the border doesn't disqualify this for basic editing. That would be a shame, I hope I'm wrong. (to be clear: I have not recommended this for disqualifiction)

Like My Hat?

Would do well on a billboard with all that space on the left. Cool photo.

I'm pretty sure that this is the same girl as Peter photographed in the 80s challenge. :)
Pretty cool shot. I might have preffered a vertical shift to get the feet in the shot, in exchange for less of the wall at the top, but on the other hand that might also make it feel a bit crowded. Also a little light to fill the left side of the head and the shadow behind her wouldn't hurt.

Oh please bring back the time when it is cool to walk in pastel suits!

The kids in America

She has a bit of a dolly dot look and that bit of lipstick on the cigarette: so typical. :) This is how all the (older) girls in my old 80's neighbourhood looked. And now I have that song in my head the whole evening.
Perhaps the balance of light is a bit out of balance on the face. Too dark at the right, maybe a reflector might have worked there.
Does she have a hat in her hand? It looks a bit out of place at the bottom right.
IMO this one is better as Gary's entry. :)

Good portrait, the radio doesn't look very eighties with that cd player, lcd and round forms but I don't care. 8

Isn't that basic? I learned Basic and next year Windows was launched. :(
Lines and lines and lines.... Arghhhhh. It was useful for thinking in loops.

Cool expression, pose, light and background. Clothes are spot on. 9

Cool perspective and altough the chalk lines are not punk at all (as far as I know) they do enhance that punk feeling. 9

I like the idea and the way the light falls as a a spot with the lines and strong shadow on the background.
However to my liking there is too much bleu/magenta tone in this photo. It takes the pop out of the skin colors and especially the hand looks a bit weird that way. When I do a quick correction with a white levels sampler on one of the bright parts of the breasts section it looks a bit more natural. Also a slight pull upwards on the curves makes it pop a little more and some mild sharpening 80% .3px on the creases in the dress makes the contrast of the edges a little better there.
Posewise it looks like she is a bit shy. The arm in front of her body and the face looking away hidden by all that hair makes it look that way. It does make for a good shadow profile tough. The film poster is like that too, so it is not hones to critisize on that, altough Kim Basinger poses more toward the viewer. 7

I'm looking forward to the workshop Gary. :)
(Philos told me after I guessed his one right in one attempt and yours in one out of four)
