Oh drat! Why didn't I give this picture a ten instead of a nine?? This deserves to be in the top ten.

Very nice picture. I think the grain works well here as does the harsh lighting. My suggestion would be though to crop of an inch or two from the bottom as there is nothing below the feet and the uneven floor and floor boards draw the eye away from the main subject. 7

7. I'm certain that the graininess was intentional. My preference would be for a high gloss B&W.

A shot like this has to have the details right - rotate to level the floor and lose the wall socket. Otherwise, I like the grain and shading, although the legs are a little dark.

I like the grainy effect on it as well as the B/W choice.

I like the image, the pose, the high grain and the darkness of shadow. The direction of lighting is great. My main problem is the perspective - Floor boards and angle of wall to floor makes me feel like I want to take a step to the side. Would prefer to lose the socket on the wall too or to have it positioned elsewhere.

Nice, the lighing here makes her right arm look as if it doesn't have an edge. The grainy look is good. The cable going along the floor and the socket on the wall distracts me a little, very good though.

Interesting choice of image texture, the grainy look really works here. The lighting is good, composition is as well. I like the use of space. Only a couple nitpicky things - I'd rather she wasn't wearing the watch or bracelet, so it was a continuous length of flesh going up, it (the watch) breaks up the fluid line for me and the other is the plug in.. just two little things, but there they are. Still a very provocative photo. 8

Good composition and cropping. It looks a little grainy unless that's on purpose. Nice lighting and shadows. 6.

The shadows and grain of this make for a somewhat "noir" feel about it, at least to me. I like the placement of the model, but the pose looks a little uncomfortable or stressful for her.

The grainyness works for this shot. I also like the off-center subject. Too bad the light source was so high. I would have preferred seeing the light coming from a bit lower and more to the right to see a more pronounced shadow cast on the wall to the left. Please tell your model that she looks nice, quite nice ;)

A strange combination of effects. I'm not sure the grainyness adds anything, but the straight model with tilted floor-line is kinda interesting. Biggest problem for me is how her back almost blends with the background on the left.

Love the grainy effect here and the photo overall. One small thing that niggles me though is the power outlet, I found it distracting. Obviously can't photoshop it out, but the girl to the left might have avoided it ..... unless of course there is something else to the left. Nice work though :)
10/20/2003 01:11:59 AM
very sexy. i like the grain too. two things that would improve the shot are moving just a bit to avoid the plug, and to rotate the pic a tad to level the floor. dispite those two things its still a great shot. its got a nice artistic feel that not many shot here have, and i like that about it.

great idea and use of b and w I love the graininess but don't like the outlet 9 a crop just above the outlet would have not shown it or the slanted floor which might not be liked by some...
