Challenge:Nude II (Advanced Editing II) Camera:Nikon D70 Location: My "studio" (a.k.a. the bathroom) Date: Aug 21, 2004 Aperture: f/5.6 ISO: 200 Shutter: .01667 Galleries:Humorous, Still Life Date Uploaded: Aug 21, 2004
I couldn't find a girl to get naked for me so I had to get out my woody and do it myself. I fully expect this to bomb but maybe the humor will save it from the very bottom. At any rate, it was a good chance to practice with my new SB800 off camera.
Adjusted contrast, desaturated, did some unsharp, did some noise reduction then I tried a little radial blur to try to add some life/action.

Just to cutesy and cartoonish. Definitely not my style. And why the swirling background? Only mid-section was in focus - to draw attention to the crossed hands? No, it just doesn't appeal to me at all. Sorry.
I really like this shot .. its a clever alternative to people. I also like the blurring effect you are using. The only thing I would change about this photo to make it perfect is the background .. I find that it is a little distracting (the curves in it) .. the light is also a bit too bright, but overall I really like this picture
heheh, well posed. I am sure your not expecting this to do well -but it does have it's qualities. i won't bother to say i think the exposure is a little to blown out. ;D
