In Earth's Shadow

This was an incredible night! I was fortunate to witness the entire event - unfortunately without a camera. All night long I kept thinking: 'Surely somebody at DPC will capture the moment and I can always remember it there'. Well, you've done a first class job here and thanks so much for your excellent work!

'...give me a few hints, tips, suggestions...What I'd really like would be some constructive feedback from anyone who knows more about this field than I (most everyone...) So if you have a moment...'

I'm no expert and have no studio experience. However, I have been looking at photos for a while: I hope that counts for something. I rated your photo at 8. I thought it was excellent photographically speaking: maybe slightly overly bright? I didn't give it a 10 because I felt it didn't have a 'Portrait' feeling and as much as I don't like centered objects/people, I felt Portraits done in a studio were generally done that way. I hope that might help somewhat...I'm sure others will have much better answers for you...

The Story of Schauvaffen Land

You kinda went the same route as I did with my photo for this challenge. I even thought of using this story title for my photo but choose a different one in the end. The 'Schauvaffen Land' story was a real trip! So, I hope your photo is not getting bashed like mine is. Your photo is of better quality then mine and I don't think mine is a 10 by any means. But, it's not a 4 either but the voters think it is. I think your photo is beautiful and it fits the challenge: 10

Wow, what a difference a day makes...



Wait...that was 2 years ago. OH MY GOSH...!!!

For this one, I believe you were right and the voters were wrong: for the most part. I believed that this photo was way more 'Color Studio Portrait' then many of the photos that scored higher. Yes, they may have been better photos but I didn't see them as something somebody would do in a studio nor as a true portrait. Your lighting is a little bright but I think you got 'Studio Portrait' over many of the other photos. Keep up the great work and it's good to see your still at it!

Now that the show is over and I can read what everybody else had to comment, I'm glad to know I was not the only one. Like I said, it's an awesome photo. Maybe the DPC stands for 'contest' after all? Congrats - I guess...

Didn't you flip us the bird? Hmmm? At least your not picking your nose: that was a horrible thing to make a child to for a challenge shot! It is certainly in 'color', it's a 'portrait' but there is a slight feel of not being in a 'studio'. I'm rating this one at 9.
