Challenge: March Free Study (Advanced Editing I)
Camera: Nikon D100
Location: Floating Oil-rig in the North Sea, Norway
Date: Mar 11, 2004
Aperture: f/5
ISO: 1000
Shutter: 1/25
Galleries: Family, Emotive
Date Uploaded: Mar 20, 2004

Black cloth behind the models. Only illuiminated by a normal tabletop worklight,- in addition to fill-in flash at rear curtain. Spontanously arranged "family-crisis". Performed by a man and a woman that didn't know each other(!). Both acted brilliant, and I got a lot of shots with feelings involved. We made a "Love and Hate"-story. Post-editing includes Photoshop "Diffuse glow", increased saturation, and manipulated hue and contrast. I wanted to apply the "poster"-feeling from the seventies and eighties, - you know those hand-painted images with white horses and sexy ladies with golden edges.

Like the "poster" effect you got here..fits the image really well.
I tried a similar technique for the "portrait" challenge..only taking it a stage further..(I go back to the sixties..Hard day`s night front cover, etc) :)

Unfortunately, not many voters appreciate this kind of work...ah well it`s their loss.

Cool portrait with wonderful eyes, color, expressions. I am not sure what the title means, unless it's a joke; maybe you'll explain afterward!

Expressions, title, pose, crop, and color choice are all great. The only suggestion I have is that this looks slightly overexposed to me which keeps it from being a fantastic entry. -8

way over saturated. the eyes of the left person could have been cloned on the white slate.

V ery good, but a bit too theatrical for me.

i really like the color and lighting and this might be more powerful with a black top hat on the gentleman on the left. his head is a bit distracting when you increase the exposure... she is perfect though the beard is a bit unnerving too no offense if this is you all that said, i give it a 10

I really love the effects here..fantastic work. Why that title-there must be more to this shot then meets the eye. It's a cool looking piece of work. Very nice.

I love the lighting, may look better with a tighter crop to the right of the girl,
Great picture, should do well.

Seems a bit processed. The skin color is a bit over-exposed (for normal exposures at least). The mans clothes are borderline visable/not visable, better to go one way than the middle. Nice Portrait, good subjects, nice expressions. .

the colors are too harsh and vivd for my tastes, but I like the composition a lot. Both subjects have interesting features and I like the tilt of their heads. Overall, it works nicely for me despite the color treatment.
