love the grungy look. The composistion seem slightly off and you can tell it's not really windy, but you made your point clearly. That sign is priceless. 9

Cool processing

I like this shot. I thinl you could've toned down on the processing a little but its still good.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice picture but the processing moves this out of the realm of photography
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/05/2006 10:51:29 AM
gritty feel(a bit much on the model but great on the rest), like the punch of red throughout, like the face full of hair as it adds to the wind, sign is an added element that make this a full story -- one of my favorites this challenge

While it is a great concept and set up, I find the post work to be over the top. This could have been so much more with less. Having said that though, I'm almost certain this style would appeal to many DPCers and I predict a good result for you :)

An excellent composition. She's not giving way at all and the processing is unique enough that it adds to a great image and in fact enhances the style and mood. Of course it's posed but so what. Ah what the hell coming back for the extra mark for coolness... :)

A little heavy on the post processing for my taste.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/03/2006 08:24:01 AM
Nice. I like the compostion. Of course, it would be more believable if her hair were blowing with the wind.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/02/2006 09:48:03 PM
great shot that perfectly illustrates the theme - however, I feel that this is way overprocessed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/02/2006 06:57:56 PM
Interesting idea and I like the look. However, the processing on the model seems a bit overdone and picture seems unbalanced with more color in center and left. 6

Good act. Love the desaturation, contrast and composition - 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The processing is heavy here, but I really like the result!! It has a young feeling to it and it's very artistic IMHO. I love the different textures of the background done in a dirty white and the reddish tones of the sign, the dress and the umbrella. The "Give Way" sign and the half opened door are a touch of genius! The pose is wonderful and the hair over the face adds even more interest to the composition.

would be more believable if her hair and dress were blowing more ... other than that I love the photo .. processing is great ...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/02/2006 08:18:15 AM
This is a great idea, and all the elements should work, but to me the net result feels staged and fake. One problem is that the model's hair and dress don't match the wind force implied by the stance and the umbrella. Also, the tones of the whole image are almost cartoony - and her right arm in particular looks oversharpened. Still, it's an ambitious and creditable effort.

cool though overprocessed my friend...looks like more a cartoon than a picture !!

Amazing shot!

Cool editing, nice job with the reds and the sign is a nice touch! Love the location.

that left leg is looking a bit ogrish... otherwise a fun shot.

 10/31/2006 06:00:17 PM
Now that is some wicked fun processing. Would love to learn how to do this. WELL DONE!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Hmmm. Will a slightly overprocessed image still do well at DPC? Certainly time will tell with this one. It's a neat image (pun not originally intended, but fits) that is well thought out and fun to look at. Given the severity of the umbrellas' condition, your hair should be blowing around a bit more to really sell the concept. Good luck in the challenge.

I love teh texture of this photo. The use of B/W and color makes this photo sing.

Nice allusion all around! :)

The best of the "Umbrella" shots! Very well done.

eye catching! very interesting!

Way too overprocessed for my tastes, but I think you did a good job with what you were trying to accomplish.

 10/30/2006 09:49:01 PM
My fav of the theme. But the them has been used a lot. Technically very good though!

Marcel Marceau would be proud of your model.
Nice setup and cute idea. Well photographed, of course.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 10/30/2006 10:37:22 AM
The colors of the model & umbrella are nice and composition is well done. But, I'm not a fan of all the charcoal coloring (all the added black soot effect).

Score: 7.

way cool editing, love this shot!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 10/30/2006 07:38:24 AM
Sorry, this is WAY to over processed for my personal taste. I'm sure you were going for this look...just not my taste.

Having said that, I love the comp and the elements of the imaage. Good luck.

Well I wonder who this is.....Actually this is good, and it pleases me as I can feel the wind.....

way too much softening on her skin, looks like a montage. nice colors, though

I am guessing this is you Amy...anyhow, love the image and the edit and the choice of setting, and if this is not an Amy image, please forgive me...

I like the shot and the treatment given to the photo in post editing. I willcomment on what appears to be a slight overuse in noise reduction at the expese of detail. Either way, a really good submission and the best of luck!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Love the post editing. That sign rocks. This is really cool!
