Challenge: Black on Black (Classic Editing*)
Camera: Nikon Coolpix 5700
Location: My Peace Place
Date: Jun 19, 2003
Aperture: 6.1
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/2
Galleries: Portraiture, Nude
Date Uploaded: Jun 19, 2003

Took a bit of a chance on this one (with some of the DPC Women calling for Nude men, I figured I should comply). I thought about doing this for the self-portrait challenge, but opted for the sillier picture there. It didn't exactly come off as I had intended, but what the heck - it's all in good fun.
one lamp, no editing other than a little gamma adjusting.
Looks right on my monitor...not so good on darker ones...guess we'll see how good everyone's monitor is after the voting. :)

A very peaceful image - the dim grays lend themselves well to the theme. I think it would look better with the illuminated backdrop less clear - either ironed (I hate ironing anything!) or perhaps out of focus? The central subject in well done - I like the graininess, and just enough light and definition to be easily recognizeable.

i like the composition, but detail is lost through the grain (which I don't think is adding something valuable to the shot)

Wonderful use of lighting here. The pose really is enhanced by shadow, bring a moody, almost sacred feel tothe image.

hmmm..not sure I like the background, maybe try to shine the light on your back and not the backdrop. Cool pose, good luck.

this is a good attempt at making an interesting sillhouette, but i think overall the image is too dark. i'd like to see some more contrast between the light areas and the subject to really make the subject pop out. also, it seems a tad soft on the focus. i think this needs to be really sharp in order to work. good effort. 5.
