 From a military theme shoot. I have several others that I liked more, but I wanted to try and keep the 'Army of Two' jokes to a minimum, so I went with this one :)

Various level adjustments done, sharpened after resize. I'll probably clone out the left hand that slightly shows, but couldn't do it for this challenge.

Obviously this type of work doesn't 'fit' well here at DPC, so this will most likely be my last entry with models like this.

The trolls were out with their 1s, 2s and 3s weren't they?

I'm not exactly sure what you do for a living, but I get this funny little feeling that you are a very lucky man who is very happy with his choice of career.... :)

Where do I sign up. This is a good shot. The set-up, lighting, etc all look good. Well done.

Lovely photo, very clear and good colours.

YES MA'AM!!!!!!!!!

Wow. So, this is the Army's new recruiting poster?

Not really digging the pose, I don´t feel like it does her justice and makes her butt and stomach seem bigger than they actually are, she seems to have an awesome figure. Nothing wrong with the lighting, that is top notch.

MAsterful job on lighting subject and comp. Background's very cool too. I like the way the light gradients from one side to the other. This adds alot of depth.

Nice shot

Great idea, even better execution. Technically perfect as far as I can tell with my limited portrait knowledge. The lighting looks to be excellent and I think the background is the ideal complement to the model. She has "the look" as well, just right for the challenge. 10 (one of two in this challenge from me)

While the lighting and set up is well done the subject just seems bland and abit boring for me, (Im not referring to girl herself btw, just pose expression and attire, :P). Otherwise i would of scored higher.

As per usual.... sex sells ;-)
 05/04/2006 10:33:30 PM
well thought out and very well photographed.

Just because she is in camo does not make her an army. How about a gun or helmet. Photographically, not bad, I'd like to see full length of her body.
 05/04/2006 09:03:44 PM
would rather see this without the jewelry

Good studio shot and clever lighting. The uniform doesn't look standard issue to me though :-)

Very nice photo, doesn't really fit the title to me though.
 05/04/2006 03:58:46 PM
Not what I think of when I hear An Army of One, but I do like this picture. The "colors" just POP OUT at you.

seems more like an army of twins

A man killer.

Impressive fashion shot, lighting is spot on!

Technically a good shot, but I tend not to like using sex to get votes.
 05/03/2006 02:59:47 PM
Besides the camo top, I'm not really get the idea of army or what she might be fighting against/for ... there's just no context (maybe if it was fashioned more like a recruitment poster). Maybe she needs a hat.

The photo is wonderfully shot, the tones and colors are great.

Love the idea you had with this...
 05/03/2006 04:56:41 AM
Oh My...let's do war! Nice shot. Love all the colors. That outfit ain't bad either.
