Not too old to play with duckies

you got guts man, if not a self portrait, your model does too. I'm expecting this to not do so well, and I'm really not helping much. I think the ducks just was TOO far over the top. I think just the supersize duck may have been enough to make it a larger sence of humor.

I also might have brought in the left edge a bit more to get rid of the faucet. I'm sure that might have caused issues with the upper corner soap dish....

The Key

Comment:
Great shot, but a few things distract me from "the key" which is your primary subject.

Alot of distractions, I'm listing them, so that you can try to retake without them in the future.

Her nails are too bright, and picking up the key is tricky. I'd probably either bring down the red in post, or possibly even have her pick a more subdued color. They look like professionally done, so would take prior planning.

Below her hands is the remnants of the chain the key is on, pull that up into her hand, it makes the handcuffs almost dissappear, as it catches the light.

II love the tattoo in this situation, it's great, and only seeing half of it, makes me wish I could see more.

Last, the black hair, it's out of place with all of the reds, and whites. If it was pulled behind the shoulder, it would have been less distracting.

This shot makes me feel uneasy, first, your model doesn't look real. I know the likelyhood of it being fake is extremely low, but she just doesn't look real. If she is real, you might want to turn down the neat image a bit. I think the background also shows signs of being overly processed. Last, I think the model's pose seems completely uncomfortable. A more relaxed pose even with just the models left arm, might bring the score up quite a bit.

I'm missing the point of the white. It is too random and messy for me to really see much of the point, with some point to the lines, I think the score could have been quite good.

Female Woody Nude Pose

Comment:
While I'm on the bandwagon of both that woody's can be excellent learning tools, I'm also of the belief that this particular tool should not be in a submission to anything. That being said, I think that what bugs me most about the image is that the material the "model" is laying on is not similar in front and behind, that would bug me with a real model, and even more with a woody. Good luck.

Great shot, which is why I didn't rate this any lower than I did. I think the banana looks a bit more abused than I would have used. Gutsy shot, and I do hope that you're happy with the results.

This is an emotional image, but it seems to be missing some steps of the motive of the emotion. As for the shot itself, I think it's a bit too overprocessed. There's something about the shadows that don't quite seem right.

This is a great shot, the lighting leaves a bit too much darkness, but that is likely what you were going for here. I doin't really like the facial expression, and think I could have gotten behind it a bit better if the lighting lit the face a bit better.

I think you probably got tied up in the "outside the box" thinking here, and went a bit too far. This would be a great image for a textbook, or documentary

This is a great shot, and I like the concept completely. that being said, better lighting is a must, as well as to eliminate the "not part of the challenge vote, creating an image where the crop is just below the belly button would have improved the shot as well.
