Consider toning down the DI in #1 & #2
Much details are lost..

Prefer ur Joscelin series more..

Thks

my chest probably

-_-'''

Personal opinions... I actually like the composition, but don't fancy the post processing..
While i've nothing against waxy looking DI. My personal thoughts are really about whether it actually flatters the model.. With certain areas of exposure lost as well as the soft focus look... what we see pretty much defies what is traditional portrait photography and really gives rise to "digital" manipulative photography...

With digital.. a lot of things can be done... but i'd personal want to enhance, and not take away the natural look of your subjects.. do consider toning down on your processing simply because by your standards, i didnt think you needed that much post processing to do your images justice...

I guess that also makes my processing methods SAFE... which if you wanna stand out in the crowd.. then really continue this waxy approach... in time.. it might actually be a revolution..

Hey "Baggy Jeans" were IN once! :bsmilie:

Good work nonetheless.

Ejun

wow... U took it way too far. No revolution. Google around Flip the papers magazine N I am sure u find more. I like your composition but Yes from wat u wrote, u live on the safe side. Insist on it n it becomes boring not less to say stifling which I am sure u are not but merely accommadating to the commons. That's fine by me. Some times we look thru world by our little window but then again like wat u said , most of like prefer it safe.

For me I can climb out of the window when I wan to n snap right back in comfortably. Easy.

Thanks for dropping by. I always look forward to a brillant comment on my works. =)

Liquify is not the ONLY solution in PP. Geezz. Dun keep following the pack.

:bsmilie::bsmilie::bsmilie:

this isn't overpolished

this is way overpolished, this is horribly done with a heavy hand.

post processing also horribly inconsistent, all the pictures look like they have been done by different people, because picture 1 is not too bad for me, but you have turned her face into an egg, skin should not lose ALL texture, same goes for billboard girls.

picture 2, the eye shadow is super win.. add on ghastly green then you have super super win..

picture 3, you shifted the tones and whitened her teeth white anyways, very win also, definitely not my style. her teeth have become the subject, because i don't see anything here except those overwhite teeth. eyes oversharpened, and her ears are bleeding dark blue.

it's ok, time for the "everyone is entitled to their own opinion" and "one man's meat is another man's poison" defense..

btw, liquify is not every photographer's universal answer. there are people who rather spend hours in front of computers, and there are people who bother to shoot a flattering angle. i know which one i'd prefer to be.

:thumbsup:

post so many lines, respond to 10-20% of entire post, and then throw in senseless meaningless comment , e.g. "follow the pack". :thumbsup:

ok bro! go on breaking away from the pack! please feel special that you have created art!!!

dont really get what you're trying to say actually... about snapping in and out... but you're welcome for the comments (didn't think they're brilliant though) :bsmilie:

well, to be fair, i think composition was quite good, angle also ok, i think the toning was fine until the waxing of skin made it bleed everywhere

but then again, if one spoilt something, and still expects nothing but praise... then for every nice person like you, there has to be someone who is blunt, especially since people will just see the nice nice comments and ignore the bad, and then turn very defensive..

not the first time anyways.. :bsmilie: there is a critique corner thread that has gone stale that i haven't forgotten.

Please dont flame me for my comments, because in all honesty I'm just a noob. So i'm not going to comment about composition, pp etc etc, because I'm still learning. But seriously, i think that the 2nd photo makes her look rather scary. I'm not sure if that's what you had in mind, but yeah, if that's the feel you're aiming to get then.. er good for you.

my 2cs worth.

by now you should have seen he doesnt take comments lightly nor very well..... Live and let live friend.. his works are his own... and it doesnt matter what the majority of us thinks really .. if he feels he likes it....(maybe his friends or clients which we don't know whom) and if the model cheryl herself likes it.. he's got his own winner

Comments arent welcome here obviously.. perhaps only those that doesn't hurt a fragile ego would be answered with a 'thnks'

re-typing your posting?
Amusing posting you did ... coming from yourself who doesn't feel the need to shoot what the clients wants ... ironical isn't it Ejunlow?

in your mind:

MY WORK IS REALLY GOOD ART! MY CLIENTS (whom have not spoken up on this thread, so cannot verify whether they really like it, or if they even EXIST in the first place) LOVE MY ART.

let's do a reality check,

vince, Anson, hanmt, chongz, chanhin, horizon_grazer, ejunlow, night86mare, hotlouse replied to the thread, model notwithstanding since she did not comment on the photography.

semipositive replies (dubious at best) : hanmt

neutral replies with slightly negative innuendos: Anson

negative replies: vince, chongz, chanhin, horizon_grazer, ejunlow, night86mare, hotlouse

you carry on brother! :thumbsup::thumbsup: break away from the pack and go on producing them artworks! and remember, when people disagree with what you think of your photos, tell them that you please your clients (see above for what i think of that line).. call them names, call them sheltered. that is a great way to show how your mindset is.
