*Howdy from the Critique Club*
First of all I like the light and shadow in this picture and the way the lines along back and the buttocks area create a matching curve along your back ground.
A few things you might want to look at, since it was a chrome challenge.
I pulled up your picture and played around with it, by removing the color I got more of a chrome or silver feel. Also I cropped most of the shoulder area out, along the right side where the bright highlights are at and up from the bottom. Which gave it a abstract look, at first glance you didn't really know what you were looking at.
As far a sharpness, reflective images for me don't always look to sharp and blurring it was out of the question. So I over sharpened it and it gave the reflective side the look of orange peel (kind of smooth but textured) and it made the background rougher since there were imperfection already there.
These are only my thoughts.
I hope, I help you out and if you have any questions just give me a shout.
Have a great Day, Mark Thomas Kelsay |
