Thanks, I'm glad you like it. Regarding the crop, I purposely used a wide angle lens to capture more of her surroundings. If I come in too tight, I lose the ambiance of the location. I wanted to see the dune in the background, the clouds, the contrast of the light and dark. I was going more for a picture of the entire scene vs. a picture of just her.#1:
It's sharp(love it!) and the lighting is great. Overall I think the technicals are spot on. I just think there's a bit too much space on the top and the bottom. Maybe a little tighter crop? I'm also itching to see the left hand of hers. I can totally picture having her place it on her waste but then again just preference.
I agree about the water. I took about 100 shots that day trying to time the breaking waves with her pose. It was quite challenging. We were on Lake Michigan and the swells weren't really very regular. There would be several minutes between waves crashing vs. water just kind of surging onto the beach, also the levels kept changing which further complicated things. I would have the chair squarely in the surf for a couple of minutes, then the water would retreat. I would move the chair and it would practically submerge the chair.#2:
My favorite. The sky and the water compliments her. I love her expression..gives me a distressed mood. This one is great. Preference wise I could totally see the chair legs completely underwater rather then having some sand exposed just to add a little bit more uncomfortability.
Solid series :thumbup:
She did have to pee. It's human.#1 If she needs to go to the bathroom, let her go. I don't care what, if anything, is good about this image, she looks like she needs to pee.
#2 and 3 I understand bringing an unexpected object into the photo but it does not work here. For me.
You busted me. I edited that odd line into this horizon. I didn't think anyone would notice. Damn it.However, the main problem I have with these two is that the foreground and background don't seem to belong together because of the horizon line. What is that black line at the horizon? It is so straight that it does not look real.
Thanks Derrel.I like the third shot, the one where she's on the chair and standing up. On the second photo, I think the picture would be improved by slightly cropping some off of the left hand side of the photo; her head position seems a bit too far to the right hand side of the frame in that image,making it feel right-heavy to me.
I think that the look you got on #2 of the water rushing toward the lens was just about perrrrrefect! And cropping the lower left corner would cut into that well-rendered wave...
The ambiguity, the oddness of her being on the beach in a kitchen chair makes perfect sense to me; the chair-on-beach thing has not been beaten to death; if she were inside of a dilapidated factory, it would make about the 10,000th time we'd been shown that tired cliche; the chair on the beach is actually fresh,and different.
She did have to pee. It's human.
Wow man, did someone pee in your Post Toasties?Is it edited or is it natural? It can't be both.
Apparently girls that look to you as though they might need to pee put you in an unpleasant mood."You busted me. I edited that odd line into this horizon"
Well, you tell me.
