Though I am not Darren Aronofsky, unfortunately )), being inspired by his brilliant movie, I made my own Black Swan...

I like #2 the best. I don't like that your loose her hand and feet in the first. In the third I would crop differently. Nice job

Thanks a lot for your opinion )))

The second one is very beautiful. I love the black and white choice, because the contrast is wonderfull. Love her pose, love the shadows, love the background choice. Be proud of this one!

The other two are nice, but she gets lost in the dark background on the first. You need a tad bit more light on her face, neck, and arm and it would work.

The lighting is very nice in the third but it lacks the gracefulness the other two have just because you have only part of her in there. I might like to see it in black and white. Sorry CCericola, but I don't agree with her on crop the third. Please don't. I think the crop you have works nicely. I love the negative space. I think you could add the gracefulness back into the shot if you had her stand just as you had her, only she tilted her head back and gracefully lifted her right arm the same direction, if that makes since.

Anyway, beautiful beautiful shots. You are very talented, and I love the subject matter you chose.

Oh dear! thank you thank you thank you!! =)

I don't know why but the third one is my favourite )) and what about the pic #1 I was really really trying hard to make such light.. So this didn't come out by chance. It's a pity if it doesn't work =(

Anyway! thank so much! =)

You're welcome for sure! I want you to remember that what I said is just one person's opinion. Another person may love the darkness of the first shot, and the pose in the third, so if you feel it works, that is the most important part. Same with your favorite being the third. Go with your instinct, and that trumps everything.

And just curious.. what lens did you use for these?

First one really Fantastic; that is the one where you have revealed your talent and creativity; second one is good; but the placement is too central; yet the boredom of a plain wall has been artistically overcome by those stairs and its shadow; third has a distinctive attraction, which i can't express in words and don't want to analyze too

Regards
