Just stumbled across this photo while looking at examples of the Nikon 85mm f/1.4D lens. Terrific photo, it reminds of me American Psycho -- not to imply anything about the model! :-)

Candid Emotive

I really like this emotive photo. I had a somewhat similar entry in the Rivers & Streams challenge (which did not do very well), but this one speaks more strongly.

Congratulations on a well-deserved ribbon!

Btw, people should wait until the challenge is over before posting outtakes, assists, etc.

EDIT: Oops, I see it has been removed. Meant no offense, in any case.

Let Earl Grey put a "zing" in your day

Typically I'm pretty tired of "drop/splash" photos, but the fact you pulled back and filled the frame with the clear cup and saucer somehow breathes new life into the concept. I can imagine this photo in a tea ad. You could probably have cloned out the specks in the lower-left and stayed within the editing rules. Overall, very well done!

I could easily imagine this photo being used in an advertisement for jazz. Beautiful lights and darks!

I'm back to bump this from a 9 to a 10. I keep asking "How did he do this?" Could be an actual, successful ad, I think.

Ahoy!

In terms of exposure, composition, clarity, ,etc., this is surely one the best in the challenge. I realize you probably lifted the frame color from the Old Spice logo, but I don't think it helps your photo. I also wish there was a little more connection between the product and the environment. Still, a high vote from me.

Impulsive highlighting
by jparisi

Comment:
Simple and straightforward take on the theme, and the "highlighted" frame makes sense and is actually kind of witty!

Good composition. Strongly meets the challenge theme without just being a close up of an eye.
