Goddess of the Falls - NSFW NSFW

[Trever1t]

Really it should be safe but undies and pretty girls are somewhat risque I suppose. Diamond, a Latina model I've been wanting to work with for a while wanted something sexy n' wild.

I like clicking on your posts these days, nice pic. I could C and C it to death for the sake of C and Cing it to death but no reason. Ok, the distracting red in the watermark belongs on your FB portfolio!

<joking!>

I like it but what is the blurry patch on the bottom left side of the image where her right foot is? I find that really distracting.

 

[Trever1t]

DO you really want to see her foot? I shot through foreground bushes to give a peeping effect, blur is au natural but I appreciate your opinion

Nicely done, but yeah, that blurry bit is annoying.

That makes sense- ummm... either make it stronger so that we know what it is, or lose it altogether. IMO, it's just too insipid as-is, and detracts from an otherwise great shot.

She's quite 'perky', isn't she? Her left heel looks like it is going up her bum.

I guess the reason I find it distracting is that the rest of the image is SO good--tack sharp, perfect exposure--that the OOF portion looks like it was unintended. I would agree with tirediron to make the effect stronger, so that the viewer knows it was intentional, or lose it altogether.

It is some of your best yet, if not your best.

However I must concur on the blur. While I see what you were going for, you didn't get it, so it looks like a blurry, almost vignetting, sorta thing...even just washed out.

Dunno what, if anything you can do about it post..probly nothing. I don't feel it's really an opinion as much as a distraction in the image. You seem to have rather discarded the original comment made on it as "opinion" and moved on...but really...it's not just an opinion as much as something in the way of a fantastic shot.

Well darn it then! I have other frames without the blur from the bush, I can easily layer in into this frame without effecting the rest of the image I believe. I didn't feel it was a distraction originally but I am here to listen and learn, so I do put weight on all your critique. Thank you!

Come on... does anyone really like bush blur?

I like fuzzy bush, but not blurry bush!

I have not seen bush in years. A landing strip here and there, even some designer work above the goods...but not actual bush.

Also, I think the shot is really nice. You are a lucky man to have such beautiful models to shoot. I always tell mine, they make my job easy.


However, I can't stop thinking what this shot would look like if you maybe shot the background so the water fall was nice and silky (longer exposure), and than put the model in on top of it in photoshop. I know it wouldn't be as natural as this but it has my artistic curiosity peaked. Im sure this idea isn't new and someone has probably done it a million times but i havent seen it yet, I am still learning tho. Anyways really nice work!
