Who Doesn't Like Grandma's Cookies?by loveComment by Hussar1812: I came away extremely conflicted from this image. On the positive side, perhaps no other shot here (with exception of one) has made me come back to it as many times and stop and think about it. The model is just superb! She did a fantastic job with the facial expression, posture, etc. It just screams Hitchcock to me!!! The lighting is almost great....I just think it's a touch too harsh as the completely washed out areas on her face and forearm indicate. I also like the processing with a slightly greenish tint. However, here is why I'm giving this the score that I am:
1. Technical aspects (not sharp enough, high-key areas are over-exposed...there are also two distracting white spots on the black part of the blouse (either hot pixels or ???)..should have been cloned out. More of the knife shadow in the composition would have been great!
2. As much as I love Hitchcock and horror genre, in my classical definition of Film Noir this just DNMC. I wish it did...and perhaps it's my own film snobbery but I simply cannot vote this higher in a Film Noir challenge.
With better technical aspects this would have been a 7-8 shot from me in this challenge. The way it stands...it's a 6...although part of me really wishes I could score this higher. It's a superb shot on it's own. |

Who Doesn't Like Grandma's Cookies?by loveComment by Nadine_Vb: She plays her part very well :) (at least - I . hope she plays it)
One small detail on which I'm still hesitating: her right eye in the dark, as it is now, or just slightly visible... |
