Clock Tower [high key]

This is NOT high-key. This is high contrast. Open this in your editing software and you'll see a U shaped histogram with spikes on the left and right edges. High-key and low-key are possible do to a lack of contrast.

A high key image has most of it's color dat in the right-most 20% of the graph. You can do this by Using the Hue/Saturation/Lightness dialog to Lighten or push to color data to the right.

Nice image. Good contrast.

Hmmmm... Okay. So the first issue that stands out is the lighting. Flash=bad. (This rule can be broken, but aren't all rules meant to be?) I like the semi circle shape, but the far right set of hands juts into the center blowing the smooth flow of it. The colors are a bit distracting too. I'd try this as either, desaturated 50% or B&W.

I thought when I saw this one that it was a Krisby. ;)

Your lighting is getting better althought the sharp shadow behind the left hand and the high contrast of the right hand with the paper point to a little more work there. Love the work.

When you left that comment on my SP entry, I immediately went through to finish voting to find yours and when I saw it I knew. I agree with other that the lighting needs work, but I gave you points for sheer guts.

Try this one again using a Home Depot clip light. Put it where your hand would be if you arm was 45 degrees above the bed. Straighten the bed up a bit, too. ;)
