I like the angle and the layout. Your color is a bit warm.

Cooking One Pea at a Time

Comment:
Good idea. You might want to try this with a little fill light on the pea. It's the subject of the shot and is a little dark. Hard to do though I know. Maybe a little post-process dodge?

Nice idea. I like the DOF. But I think the contrast is a little sharp. Still a god pic.

Relationships

I really like this one. The deep DOF draws the attention to the guy just enough so we see that he is looking into her eyes while she looks away into the camera. He has eyes only for her, while she seems a little aloof - and yet she leans into him.

Maybe I'm seeing more than was intended, but I have a literature degree. we see everything whether the author intended it or not.

Either way, this is a very good cross-over image (between portrait and candid). Keep shooting.

This is a clever idea and I like it very much. My only criticism is the set up of the stitch line itself. The stitches are real, the buttons are real and while I realize your model probably wouldnt let you carve a real line on her face, this line looks like a soft felt marker. Perhaps you could have used something more substantial. Not that I could do this well - so take a grain of salt. This is an excellent image.

A very different take on the "paint your model" theme. I like this. I fear you won't score as well as you deserve because it's not sexy or clever. But it is very emotive and captures my attention. Well done.

This is a very moving picture. Your model captured emotion wonderfully and the reflected image is lit just right. Very nicely done.
