Challenge: Best of 2017 (Standard Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D Mark III
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Location: Aurora, CO
Date: Dec 28, 2017
Aperture: 1.8
ISO: 1000
Shutter: 1/60
Date Uploaded: Jan 24, 2018

Lit only by old school overhead projector. I was testing the ability to cast anything on a model. I felt the contrast from the music cast very well upon her skin. I attempted to push a speedlight through the projector, to attempt to get better/brighter light from it, but to no success. Edit was convert to black and white, and levels adjustments, and noise removal, all in Lightroom. No spot editing. I'm happy to discuss at length.

Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that contributes to the open challenge well

Oh Robert, you was robbed! Score aside, I'm disappointed for you that you didn't get any comments. I like the model's pose and the way we get to see most of her face projection free. I also like the projection idea, though the execution does let it down a little. I would definitely have cropped the right of the image quite close to her elbow to get rid of the inconsistent lighting. I like the silhouette of her shadow on the left, if the brightest part of the light had coincided with her breast it would have emphasised her shape even more to give it added impact. It's a shame her tattoo and accoutrements clashes with the projection, without it the effect would be much better. Towards that end I think a square crop just at the level of her right arm would be more effective.
