Antigone again.

The ol' girl came by to work her magic on the garden. I could not resist the photo op.

Back on earth. The shot may be a little contrived. Let me know what you think.

Great idea! I can't think of anything I would do different!

I don't think there is anything wrong with contrived shots. I've seen many great pictures that have been contrived. If it's a good shot I don't care how it was made.

Anyway, I like the concept you are going for here. The bright sky makes a great background to your subject. The angel is surprisingly defined with even lighting. Did you use a flash/reflector or did you just expose for the angel?

oh man that's it, I love it, don't know why but I just love it! I would like to see more of these shots.

technically it's a pretty good pic.... my personal preference would have been a little tighter crop and maybe a little more saturation .... but over all...pretty good

A million thanks gang!!! I used the trusty foamcore to bounce light back on to the subject. I had a teacher who felt that everything except the work of the late great Bresson was contrived. To this day his foul mouthed words (not worth repeating here) stick with me.

I would like to see more of these shots.

Two million thanks!!! I have a couple. Some how they did not make the cut.

Just for that I will check out Chase's support forum. Hopefully there is a MAC thread.

A million welcomes swfla1!!! I am curently battling the saturation. In my infinite wisdom I will probably battle it for a while. I will chalk one up to "more" side. I have said before that I am not cropping my photos. Maybe in the next 40 years I will have it down. Until then :?

I think it's too centered, seems a bit.... static.....

 

[craig]

I tried to get fancy and messed up my own post. Do not get me wrong. I am not trying to post on my own post to gain posts. If that makes any sense.

Anyway, Judehei (welcome is in order) has a good point. After printing the frame and hanging it, my immediate static or contrived feeling seems to be fading. I also noticed a lot of dust on the print.
