hi
4 is good, but why did you cut the feet like this, was there not an other solution (use an other first plan than her legs) ? He means that this could have been better framed instead of just cutting off her legs at the knees. Better planning might have helped with it.
1 has no interest: Picture is as is. Not hidden metaphors
3 What is she doing ? she seems to be on toilets, please, don't let this kind of misunderstanding for such beautiful girl, that's really not gallant: The pose doesn't seem to be very flattering for her...might present the viewer with the idea that she's "doing her business."
2 she has no feet as well, or maybe they are ugly. You can not cut here, you take her completly, with feet, or you don't take legs at all: Cutting her legs off cuts off the flow of the shot. Either do a full body or a mid shot, cutting her legs off takes away from the image.
Beside that, I don't get the relation ship between title and subject, it sounds like you just think of the title when you post the picture. You have to decide your subject before you even take the photograph. What feeling and message you want to send: He has a point here, i don;t see what your title has to do with your theme of how beauty can make one feel isolated and alone. You might want to rename it or bear that in mind the next time you shoot with a theme. It'll help you construct an image that will carry a strong message to the viewer, which was missing in this shoot. Felt more like it was a bunch of unplanned random images
Hope that helps.
thanks garou12.
Is not that i don't understang what stougard said, but i just don't agree with his point of view.
ok.
1st pic. either you like it or you don't. And i like i but you don't, and i sense something from it but you don't. Can't please everyone.
2nd pic. I'm quite ok with the leg being cut off. I'm not cutting off her leg right at the ankle but above her knee, so to me it is still acceptable. If you said without the leg it have taken away the pic?? i guess you only see from her waist and below, not as a whole. her pose, slumpped shoulder, sad & dejeced expression, her weak stand (which is why i included part of her legs). she delivered what i want. and i really like that pic. If i shoot wide, which include her whole leg, will reduce the impact.
3rd pic. What do you want? her posing nicely elegently ? This shoot is not to make her look pretty, she was suppose to be sad, heart-broken, lonely, dejected kind of feel. When someone is in that emotion situation, does she care how she look like? So by asking her squating inject more impact than having her sitting, leaning again the wall or standing. that's my personal opinion.
4th pic. a bit tricky.. yes, the knee is more dominant than her face. But i like the wide angle. low angle view. and a gust of wind just blew her hair like that and with her expression, it attract me to see her face more than her knee. So i decided not to crop it. Of cos some, like you, have other opinion.
I'm not saying my pic is perfect, definately can be improved more, but for now i like it just the way it is.
by the way, why can't someone that is beautiful feel lonely and isolated ?:dunno:
In Singapore lor. More convenient.
