C&C appreciated. My girlfriend at a MX race.

[Compaq]

My girlfriend at a local MX race. There is one thing I wish were different with this shot. I'll write it in white text within the "()", just mark it to read it. Try not to do so until you've looked at it yourself, though.

(I wish she was actually aiming the camera at the rider in the background. It does not look that way on this image.)

It's awfully dark regardless of where the camera is pointed.

 

[.SimO.]

I like the motocross rider in the background going down the track. I like how you chose this angle and approach.

I am lost. Flickr site says it was taken with a Canon MP560. Do they make now printers with built-in cameras ? Awesome.

Actually, I've gotten a scanner integrated in my 35-SP Scans the latent image and stuff, cutting edge technology!

ceeboy: that's a keen observation. Do you find it problematic or beneficial? You didn't really specify on that..

Highlights appear OK, the shadow area is blocked up ... contrast adjustment needed.

I like it dark.... gives it mystery, don't always have to see everything.

Hmm, I think if she turned her head, we would not see that she is holding a camera ... I don't mind it.

What's the artifact behind her back ?

Just a little too dark. I would bring it up until just a bit more of her hair shows.

Its at a motocross track. That makes it a perfect image and your girlfriend hot. lol Nice one.

I think her hair is brighter on the print (this is scanned), but the other shadows are pretty much all-black. I have this framed by my bed, hoping that I'd be able to see if it needs anything when it's on the wall.

Thanks for the help, folks!

What kind of beer are you drinking lately ? This stuff must have some bite...

 

[Compaq]

Only drunk on great ideas!

That's what she said.
Sorry, I had to.

I love pretty girls with a Norwegian accent.
Im jealous compaq, assuming she has a Norwegian accent, you got both!
despite my general distaste for B&W, i like this one. i wouldn't worry too much about her not facing the rider with the camera, it gives the impression of her panning.
