Time for my Bathby
MPRPROComment by MPRPRO: To the 4 people who gave me a 1, (explitive deleted by me since you are not even worth that.)
To everyone who had opinions about the color or lack of color, how the image was framed, or the model's pose god bless you and when you shoot this shot go ahead and then thank me for your inspiration, otherwise look at this image as my personal creativity not yours.
To everyone who liked it but it was a little off from what you thought and you expressed it in a constructive way thank you but that is just what I wanted in this image.
I wanted it to highlight Renee sitting at the edge of the pond. Not to highlight the waterfall either the soft waterfall in front of her or the giant ones to the right. I wanted the picture about the model not the waterfalls they were just something in the image to give it interest. Your eye wants to go to the falls but is grabbed and brought back to Renee̢۪s back and it̢۪s like you can̢۪t turn away. Between the onsite flash off to the left out of the frame or the darkness of the cliffs you can̢۪t help but stare at Renee as if you were in the woods behind her hiding to watch.
Nothing in this image is an accident.
Everyone knows some of my images are a little off, or a little different or maybe even completely misunderstood by the masses. Good that̢۪s my ignorant side just being creative in my work. By Ignorant I mean, I am happy not to know the key to scoring a 9 every time on DPC, I am glad I don̢۪t copy others in my work but try to just see what pleases my eye and recapture it in a way to share with others.
Some like it, thus the 5 tens, some hate it ergo the four 1̢۪s. Most if you look carefully had pretty good reaction to my image. Only 41 people scored it below average out of 182 votes. I am happy with the results and again want to thank Stan and Renee for helping me put this shot together.
