WOW don't mess with them!

nicely composed and framed...white balance is off

Interesting posing and subjects. Facial expressions are good.

wb seems a bit off...girls are not in good focus..this kind of shot lokks better with a shallower dof (larger aperture and faster shutter speed)

Strong blue cast but other than that nice shot
10/08/2007 05:51:08 PM
OK, I daresay this is getting its fair share of views, its an OK portrait, nothing to write home about though. Using a longer/wider lens and moving back further would of done this shot wonders.. 6

Needs to be sharper.
10/08/2007 01:09:00 AM
Love it.

Weird pose, why are they kneeling? The kneeling girl on the left looks like she has really short legs at first...
10/07/2007 06:57:21 AM
ROFL - at first glance i thought the middle two were tiny - when I looked again I realised they were kneeling . .

I thought two of the girls were midgets. Interesting posing and composition.
10/06/2007 09:22:32 AM
The very blue tint makes it hard to look at.
10/05/2007 09:44:47 PM
nice job
10/05/2007 06:03:24 PM
Pity you didn't use the full size allowed - 640 pixels. Probably it was a bit dark already, so some details are lost :( Nice composition 6.

Wish this was a bit larger. The subjects are lit nicely though.
10/05/2007 07:55:54 AM
Cool girls, cool setting. Quite some nasty details on the technical side though. The girls are not in focus, the sky is blown out as are parts of the wet street. The pose of the second girl on the left made me think she was a lilliputter at first. (4)

too much street too little of the girls
10/05/2007 12:08:52 AM
lol...looks like the 80's...lol

This picture has a lot of potential, but technically it is lacking. The yellow sign is distracting and it is noisy or something I can't pinpoint causing the image to not be pleasing.
10/04/2007 10:45:09 AM
Tough looking chicks. Would be a good album cover.
10/04/2007 05:28:10 AM
Who doesn't like hotties, but when I first saw this image, I was like "too blue", and then "what's with the two little people?" Just a bit awkward on the poses.
10/04/2007 02:47:36 AM
love this shot..good luck
10/03/2007 10:32:43 PM
Good idea, lighting is a bit puzzling as it a ppears to be harsh in both directions; if you used fill flash (it looks like you did) soft boxes would have helped. Also, a from below or straight camera angle (instead of from above)would have been more flattering to the models that are kneeling down. Seeing that empty street and the cross walk lines I can't help but wish you would have taken a Beatles like shot of the 5 girls walking accross the street in perfect coordination and looking straight ahead rather than at the camera, I would have given you a 10 for that one.
10/03/2007 04:14:30 PM
I think this would have been a better shot if the subjects filled the frame a bit more. The street especially the the buildings seems to take away from them
10/03/2007 08:55:50 AM
Definitely a fun shot with appealing subject matter... but it needs to be cropped a bit tighter, and the shot overall has a blue-ish tint to it.
10/03/2007 06:51:20 AM
Dance team? I like the idea of a street location - seems quite fitting. Maybe a bit more light on them? Still a good shot, and I really like the yellow walkie guy sign.
10/03/2007 12:44:25 AM
It's a good shot but honestly when I first glanced at it the two girls on their knees looked like midgets. It was a little disconcerting and hard to shake. I still see it even though I know better. Otherwise the image is quite nice.
