Very clever, well composed, and exposed images, but I have to admit, I don't get "it"...

brilliant! loving #2 and #3. Must have taken a lot of time and effort! Especially the picture-in-picture in #2... nice touch!

... but I have to admit, I don't get "it"...

contrast
contradiction
direct opposition
etc.

Overall, nicely done.

I feel #1 is too staged and a bit cheezy.
The picture-in-picture is a great addition on #2.
Undecided on #3, I think because the way the model on right is looking / posing at the camera.
Not fond of the harsh shadows on #4.
Shame about cutting part of her head off in #5.

All that being said, I think you have some great ideas for this theme and your shots are good.

Thank you! It took two days to take the photos. First day at a farm, next day at a very old house.

Thanks for your feedbak!
The idea of #1 was that she looks confident while wearing clothes that doesn't belong on a farm. I dont know if you can see that on the photo? But maybe it's too staged indeed...
Thanks for the feedback on #3, I guess you're right about the way the right model is looking, it doesn't say anything..
You're right about the harsh shadow on #4.. This was the only cute window, so I dont know how to do (or edit) it better.. Any ideas?
Yes, you're right about #5..

Ok thank you. Is it a good name for this series you think?

Personally, I'm not sure it's quite the right name; a picture cannot really be the direct opposite of itself; I understand what you want now, and don't mean to belabour a point, but in my opinion these pictures are definitely worth finding the right name for.

Something along the lines of "Out of place" is what I would suggest, but for the life of me, I can't come up with quite the right word, and I think that it does need to be a single word. (It's 5.30am - the old synapsis aren't firing at 100% just yet - I'll keep thinking on this one).

Okay, after some thought, the title I would suggest is "Incongruity", The adjective incongrous meaning "not harmonious in character; inconsonant; lacking harmony of parts: an incongruous mixture of architectural styles."

Very very nice series. Its nice to see real thought going behind these pictures. You went for something specific and you did well.

I personally feel the first one is the best. The light is perfect, the setting is very nice, even though you know its set up, its great. I think I would lop her off at the knees in a crop though, becasue the high heels ARE a bit much. Everything else is perfect though.

2 and 3 are the other faves. You have nice style in these. 4 and 5 don't do anything for me.
