My bathroom is getting revamped thought I'd see how it looked as a set. I took out the other flood light on the right then stood under the other. I set up my tripod in the bathtub.

Oh, well - this worked for me and was one of my high scorers - a 9. I still adore this shot and hope you keep your vision.

Great lighting and use of color, but the cut-off foot and plumbing equipment is too distracting

Bad crop on the right leg. Not a very good composition. 4.

... of home repair? The setup, particularly with the tube gun in the foreground, feels really odd. Her position also feels a bit awkward, as if you've caught her about to sit down or she's posing strangely. I like the colots of the background, and the light is very nice.

So, is she doing the work? Great job on the lighting and in giving the woman almost an aura about her.

The caulk gun needs to go, or the tools need to be more integrated with the theme of picture.

This model looks uncomfortable and there is some kind of tool in the lower right frame that isn't necessary. Otherwise, an OK shot.

A little too much contrast and a distracting background take away from the great comp of this shot. Next time move or crop out the caulk gun.

The colours are nice and there's something beautiful about the image, but it makes me ask what she's doing or trying to do. I am also finding it hard to make a connection to her and the surroundings.

I hate this when you really have to go bad! 6.

Really...

An interesting image for sure...the title ruined it for me...personally, I can't stand titles with "angel", "soul", etc. etc. in them...just to cliche/trite/affected for my taste. My only problem with the actual image is the caulking gun in the lower right hand corner...is she a "Dark Angel" because you were in the middle of renovating/restoring your bathroom and your wife/ girlfriend/girl next door decided to come in and distract you...interesting to say the least.

interesting lighting and point of view. she seems a bit underexposed. also, I wish her foot wasn't cropped off
05/24/2005 12:17:23 AM
this could have been so fabulous..the pose looks so awkward 5

I'm not sure I get this. She looks like she has to go to the bathroom, but there is no toilet? I like the color from the lighting, to which you have met the challenge requirements, but the caulk gun in the lower right corner, and pipes coming out of the wall are very distracting and harm the image. Also, the model pose doesn't look natural, and even if you were going for an unnatural pose, her pose doesn't seem to make any sense. Her face could have used a bit more lighting also. Good luck in the challenge.

The exposed plumbing, the caulk gun, the strange position all distract from a compelling look on your models face and pretty good post image editing. Perhaps cropping the distracting elements and less of the distorted pose would've scored this higher.
05/23/2005 08:24:12 AM
While I like the light in the far corner I'm not too hot for the pose. She looks awkward. Also her face is pretty hidden in the dark shadow. This may have been your intent..and just my thoughts.

I think it could have done without the caulk gun sticking out of the bottom of the photo but other than that its a very nice capture.
