I hope these are good enough. This is a brass quintet from my school, and they needed promotional shots, so they asked me. I also shot a bunch on film, but don't have that developed.

Joe!!! These are GREAT!!!!!! You did a fantastic job!!!! I can't wait to see the film ones!

Wow..great job. 3 is not my favorite, but the rest are unique and I bet they will love them!

These are good, except I don't like the blown out spot on the girl's nose in the first one - or maybe it is my monitor..??

I like the first one but her nose is alittle light here too... also the same girl you might want to darken under her legs...kinda looks like her butts hanging out.
the second looks ok, but it throws me off with one guy looking up...
I like the 3rd but the second guy from the top, i though he was wearing a hat... maybe its just me but i keep getting drawn back to that.
and the last one just looks like some floating heads to me...
but all in all they dont look too bad. just little things

I like the soft look in #2. I think they will like these

jocose · Mar 8, 2006

Joe, great job! I like all of them. If I had to narrow, though, it would be between 1 and 3.

I agree with whoever it was that said you can see up her skirt in 1, so I would fix that in PS, and the only real problem I have with 3 is that you can only barely see the tip of the instrument with the second from the top.

Other than that, I really like 'em! I can't wait to see the film versions!!

See you sunday (yea?)!

I agree...I was noticing that earlier when I was trying to figure out what everyone played! :lol:

Well, I'm glad I double-checked cuz first I wrote "and I don't see an instrument (unless I'm an idiot)" Who knows how THAT would have turned out if I had posted that :lmao:

#4 is cool and I really dig #2

Care to comment on the post-processing you did to that one?

clarinetJWD · Mar 9, 2006

Thanks everyone! I certainly cleaned up the...errr...crotchal regions before I gave them the images. And thanks, df3, for the honest critique. I'm always looking to get better

I should be getting the film developed this evening, and will have those up withing a day or two. THanks again!

clarinetJWD · Mar 10, 2006

GRRRRRRR.....Nowhere around here will develop the film (Neopan SS, ISO 100)

It'll be another week

nice job joe!

for promotional shots, I personally think that number 1 is the best. by far. number 2 and 4 don't really show enough, and number 3 is good but not nearly as good compositionally as the first one. the expressions in the first are wonderful, and it looks quite professional. IMO if you touch that one up a bit, it would work perfectly.
