Delicate & Lovely 1st Place

Comment by librodo:
NO EXCUSES for comments below. Well, I guess I just know how to adapt my style.

Actually, if it is a 'fashion" photography, I do smoothen the face using neatimage. I also clone out imperfections. However, if I intend it to be a gritty image, I leave it as it is...even make it more grungy. As far as having my work recognized, it can work both ways. The 2 1's explain it.

If you want un-smoothen face...documentary style of photography, I would like to plug my site. Please click the link underneath and please leave some comments. I am very proud of this gallery.

Unbelievable. Guess that's the prize for being a recognizable and very well liked artist on this site.

Of course, compositionally it is as great as ever, although I'd have loved to have seen a more colorful background. The black seems to really point out the over-sharpening where a more natural background may have helped hide it a little more. Also, once again, would that I had a bank of "exotic" looking people to shoot.. seems to really make a punch with North Americans.

Anyway, for me, a touch less of smoothing and sharpening would give this photo some real life..
Guess that's why I usually don't score well here.

As I also commented during challenge, I completely agree with everything Artyste says. It's a pitty that this site has become a "whoever is the most popular in the forums" wins. No offence intended to librodo, and nothing against him, it is the only image I commented in the challenge, that means it clearly triggered my attention, I really feel the image would be wonderful with regardless how much noise. Like this it looks like the poor girl is wrapped in a plastic bag, a manequin a doll anything but human. You have true talent it is obvious and it's a pitty that you ruin your work just to please the DPC forums audience.

However congrats for the ribbon.

Agreed.

I agree as well...And no offense at ALL to Manny, please don't get me wrong. I just think that, more often than not, if someone recognizes a popular photog's work here on DPC, they will give it a high score, regardless of whether or not it is terribly creative or well done.

*shrugs*

But yes. Congratulationa on the ribbon, you do rock, librodo! : )
