Really nice setup and shot, great idea and editing looks great also. Is that frost? Holy hope you had a nice warm meal and drink for her after the shoot. Nice work.

Comment by Blue Moon:
hehe, you crazy gal! You look a little uncomfortable, but it must have been hard to shoot. The only things that bpther me abot this is that the stckings are too dark; I think bare legs might have worked better. Also, your legs look a bit akward and short. I think if you had taken this from a lower perspective, it would have made you look taller.

Hello from the Critique Club,

Let me start off with congratulations on your new personal best score. You've done a wonderful job composing and setting a mood in this image. However, there are a few items that might have kept this image from scoring higher.

First, soft focus is a tough sell at DPC but it does help set the mood in this image. Second, the lighting on the hands distracts from the overall impact of the image. The hands just happen to fall in front of the brightest part of the window and are almost in silhouette. This makes it difficult to see the fingers and in turn, looks a little odd. Adding to the silhouette distraction is the angle of the flute. With the end of the flute being closer to the camera than the mouthpiece, the hands look abnormally large in this lighting. If the whole flute was in the same plane as your face, it might have helped the lighting and provided better balance in the image (Although you might not have been able to actually play the flute after changing the angle, it still would have looked like you were). One other issue for some voters is the use of nudity. The nudity here is very tasteful and brings artistic merit in this image but it really doesn't relate well to an "Occupation" challenge.

Taking a look at your portfolio, I predict that I will be seeing your image on the front page sometime in the near future. You have a very artistic style and all you need is for the right challenge to come along for you to ribbon.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.

Tim

Dedicated model!
It does seem either over-sharpened or too much neat image or soemthing just not right.

This photo is amazing! I never would have dreamed of anything this dramatic. I really hope you win a ribbon for this. This meets the challenge perfectly and the emotional impact is very profound. I can really feel how cold she is.

Svetlana,
This is lovely. The blues really enhance the mood (did you use a tungsten filter?) I might like to see more sharpness in subject, but understand the soft effect was most likely deliberate. Another great entry! And look at those scores from commenters!

this looks like silverfoxx, I mean it doesn't look at all like silverfoxx, but who else could do this? 9
