Hippie Chickby
TuckersmomComment by CNovack: O.K. I am going to get a little off topic here but I could not help to hear some of Smash Mouths 'Walkin' on the Sun' lyrics as I looked at your composition and saw the title:
And their kids were hippie chicks all hypocrites
Because fashion is smashin' the true meaning of it
So don't delay act now supplies are running out
Allow if you're still alive six to eight years to arrive
And if you follow there may be a tomorrow
But if the offer is shun you might as well be walkin' on the sun
O.K. now I have a good song playing in my head let me get around to critiqing your photo. This is a very colorful and creative composition. Love how the background is tye-dye, further invoking the idea of the 60's. I love how you dressed your duckie - all those little added details of the round rimed glasses, the colorful hat, and the long hair really play up the idea/concept of a 'hippie chick' of the 60's. Very well done! The only critiques I have on how to improve the image is the lighting and the crop. The lighting seems a little uneven - there is more shadows on the left hand side indicating that the light source was more on the right. More even lighting would improve details on the hair, the hat, even out the tones and lessen the shadows on the duck. Lastly the crop could have been even tighter to keep a tighter focus on the duck - a square crop would give you that tight focus on your main subject without sacrificeing too much of the tye-dye background which is also intrigal to the presentation.
