What's new

Hot cousin pic - Another question

I thought she went to greener pastures, because this place is sooooooooooo awful.
What a ****.
 
I've looked through your photos, and see one particular issue coming up repeatedly, and that is unusual compositions with large areas of empty background space, which lead or draw the viewer's eye away from the main subject of the pictures. Secondarily, I also see some framing issues, with regard to how much space is being allotted to the subject, at the tops or edges of the frame.

For example, in the sisters photoshoot, there's one shot where one sister is seated on the ground, and there's a big, open, empty space in the entire upper-left quadrant of the image...same with the lingerie shots...some of those have some big, open, unused areas and have the ostensible main subject placed in such a way that there isn't much emphasis on the person. You seem to be doing reasonably well on the "Photoshop" side of things, applying effects, actions, and so on...but the nuts and bolts area of composition is where your current level of newness is showing...I realize you might not want to hear or read this, and I do not want it to sound like unwaranted criticism, or bashing, because it's not...but photography, composition, and design, can not be "picked up" in three months' time. Your Photoshop image preparation skills seem quite far ahead of your compositional skill a this time, but you'll probably make it if you keep working at it. You seem pretty tough, so stick to it. I would suggest concentrating on design and compositional fundamentals as a way to really elevate your game.
 
If I had only seen the photos Derrel is speaking about. :addpics:
 
Thanks Derrel. I'll keep that in mind and no offense taken whatsoever. I think I'll head to Chapters and read up on composition. Appreciate the feedback!
