It's also a somewhat direct rip-off of Arni's and Gordon's negative space photos last week.

Oh dudes, it's really not that hard to cut your hair by yourself :)

I do have very tall windows (12 foot ceilings and 11 foot windows), but I was still crouched down a bit. I knew the cut-off elbow thing would get me in trouble. It was centered in the original shot, but I really wanted to use the 427x640 dimension, because it seemed to be more what I had in mind for the shot, probably because it's more the dimension of my windows than 480x640. I also wanted it to be off-center, so I decided to cut off the elbow slightly. Oh, I also flipped it horizontally so I could look like I was left handed. I was going for it to be something that was slightly 'off', to make people think "there's something wrong with that". Obviously, people did, but not quite in the way I had hoped :)

I wanted to go back and do it again with the hair clipping on the other shoulder where it might have shown up better, but I never got that light again last week (stupid rain).

I think this is very cool. I like the sharp slant of light/shadow and only wish it were a little bit more distinct (the shadow a little darker). It looks like there is some already cut hair on the left shoulder, but I can't quite tell -- I assume that's what it is, but I wish it were a tiny bit more obvious. Still very cool.

cool framing and almost cool lighting. i would have liked to see the light coming across the wall and her back and hand a little brighter and the background a little darker to add extra drama. *very* good and creative idea though!

I like the abstract framing, and the lighting, I would play with the tonal range a litle more thought, and a textured background may have been more interesting. Good use of black and white - 9

Must be the oddest framing job i've ever seen. I like the verticalness of it all, but cutting off her right elbow doesnt work for me -- I'd like to see her centered at the bottom. The lighting is pretty cool too.
