Post challenge: My studio was being used the whole day by one of the photographers who I'm sharing it with so... we used his basement. Technicly not following the challenge description but hey... it had to be the way. The ugly black triangle on the lower left is a washing machine, which we indeed should have moved away... But it was really heavy and we were feeling really lazy. Problem "solved" with some black cloth he found. Solved as in almost solved.

Wonderful choice of colors. The red hair and green drink look great with the blue background. :)

Love the RGB effect here. I'm distracted by the shadow on the left top and the strange oddity on the lower left.

Oh this one is great!! Love the look on his face! Besides that (I'm not sure if this is what you were trying to accomplish?), this looks like it could be a scene from Smallville. His glasses, the green kryptonite, even the background you've used! Great job, 9!

Top shelf work. 10 - Only question would be what is the dark thing in the lower right corner?

This is like the evil twin of Bill Nye the Science Guy. And I like it. Nice touch with the elastic band holding together the glasses.

Cute, goofy shot, but I'm having slight problems accepting it as a "Studio Portrtait". 6

I don't know how you are doing in this challenge, you probably took a risk, but I love it! <7>

A great bizarre image, good use of colour, lighting appears good, maybe bring out the whiteness of the lab coat a little more. Finally the big dark object on the left of the image is a little off putting. Made me smile!

Very cool colors. I like this one a lot.

Bold, funky and cool. I love the colors, the green, blue, and orange/red.
04/18/2006 10:51:15 AM
freakin awesome ... the light in the glases are a very slight distraction, but no big deal
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/18/2006 07:53:11 AM
Awesome! I LOVE the colours in this shot, the whole RGB theme :) Went straight to my favorites and got a 10 from me, only thing that bugs me and that is just a little nitpick is the left eye seems blurry but I guess he just needs to clean his glasses :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/17/2006 11:52:04 PM
Awesome work... combining your lighting and post processing, the image has a slight cartoon feel to it, while still remaining sharp. Great choice of colors as well. Everything about this is perfect IMO.

Amazing. The color play is gorgeous, love the subject's expression, love it all.

This does not look like a studio portrait to me.

A refreshing, original take. Good choice on keeping the portrait focused!

Eye glasses need to be tilted down just a little bit to get rid of the light glare, but other than that great photo. -9-
