I liked this shot and thought it may have done better than it did. There are two things that I dont like, first of all I found the watch on the models wrist quite distrating. Maybe beacuse it was on a horizontal third my eye was drawn towards it? Secondly the uneven border, I know it's a little bit picky, but I think photographs look better on this site when presented in an even border.
However a great creative and fun photograph, I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Very interesting take on the challenge... like the picture :-)

Great idea, well executed, and with effective composition. One of my favourites.

Doesn't really look bullish to me. Maybe a different expression and angle would have helped.

He he he! I like the way you're showing the human aspect of the zodiac - that it's about predicting/ analysing human behaviour/ personalities. Very humourous, and strong composition. 8

This is what I call a good motive photo. Simple but keeping the objective in mind.

This person did an excellent job posing for this picture! I really like it! Good luck! 8

great expression. nice composition. Perhaps remove the watch, and how would this have worked in b&w or monotone? Reds seem a bit strong. 8

Very cute! LoL
I like that you used a person to represent a taurean attitude. Nice job!
01/28/2004 06:51:54 PM

Nice portrait with a felicitous models expression. Composition and cropping are well done, IMHO there ist nothing serious, you could have done better. Maybe I would have left out the watch, IMHO it competes against the nose ring. But that's only marginal... Good luck for the challenge!

Like this, basic but it works
01/28/2004 10:34:27 AM
Down girl down! Great creative thinking! Adding some steam to her nose would've been cool. 7

Good, very funny, simple but well thought out. I can picture it being used in a magazine along with an article on mens "bullishness"
Her expression is great - The hands look just right.
One thing stands out though as "shouldn't be there" - the wristwatch/bracelet.
Exposure-wise something had to give. Such beautifully dark hair - beatiful coloured skin and a white top. One of them had to be under or over exposed. Something had to go wrong. Fortunately it was the top/vest, I think to get rid of the distraction - some of the white could be cropped off and it leaves "a great picture"
