Abstract I

Comment:
This is certainly abstract and B&W so it met the challenge description. To create a stronger image, you may want to soften the light a bit to get rid of the shadows and reflections. Also, if you were to come in a lot closer and just use a small portion of the cape that may make it even more abstract. But considering it's a 7" Jareth the Goblin King (?) cape, you may be at your camera's limits.

Originally posted by bvy: Beautiful pose (what did you tell her to look at?). The fence doesn't bother me too much, but have you tried it in black and white? Sometimes that helps take the attention away from distractions (and I think you could get a beautiful black and white here in any case).

I told her to look at the camera, which is why she looked away!

Hey Susan, it's the focus that kept this from scoring higher. For shots like this I will change the focus point on the camera and compose so that point is right on the eye. Shoot me a PM if you have any questions.

I like the pose and smile you captured. The eyes could probably use a bit more dodging, but then again that might not seems natural.

I think this turned out well considering the circumstances. You had no control over their clothes, but the colors and patterns are calling for attention. I wouldn't have guessed that you did anything to her eyes or teeth, which means you did a good job. And most importantly, they look happy.

What strikes me here is balance, created by the light & dark areas and horizontal & vertical lines. But there is nothing to balance your subject, which brings my eye straight to him.

That sure is an amazing staircase! The 3 chosen complement each other well, but I really like the one on top with the bit of blur.

Really good composition here to show the guy without really showing him. Even the strong light works for this shot.
