I haven't used gimp before so I'm not sure!

You should just post your new ones, I wouldn't worry about them getting stole if you have your watermark on them.

If im 19 and know how to get rid of a watermark im sure someone who has been in the industry for say 10 years would be able to???

Okay, well just make them really small resolution so that if they are copied then they wont be able to be used or printed.

YES i could i guess.....But theres still issues with that because that also isnt hard to overcome...But I dont think anyone would boter anyways. Ok just let me watermark them and Ill post them in a bit.
Oh and also,
That photo was more a trial i mean, It was at my dining room table at home and I had coke in my "plastic" wine glass lmao-
It was more the style I was worried about.
Im very artsy, maybe that will set me out from the crowd or people might not like it like you....

This is the type of pictures I like doing, One that says alot but is very simple :

If you MUST do selective coloring... at least do it right. I can see magenta halo around the index finger.

So this was part of an erotic self-portrait series I did.
It is unusual as it appears like art. I did quite a bit to the image to get it to this.
What are you thoughts. And before you ask (as embarrassing as it is) yes it is me

I don't know if I would call that an erotic photo. It looks more like you're about to fall over drunk rather than be erotic. Is the plate dirty? I can't tell it looks like mash potatoes, but if I were to make it erotic I would have left a full dinner plate, and get more feeling in your eyes and tension on your face. That will help give the impression that you're ready to go right now, screw this wonderful dinner we've prepared.... Erotic... That would seem more erotic to me than "hey I just finished dinner, let me finish this drink and then lets go." If it were possible it would be sweet to have the door to the bedroom in the background so you can see the bed. What lighting did you use for this? It looks very yellow, maybe you could correct the white balance in PP. Sorry if that's too much, I like the idea, and I think I see what you're going for.

Cheers

Great storytelling. I gathered that you just had mexican food, and this is the epiphany moment when you realize that its not sitting oh so well.:lmao::lmao::lmao: Definately not erotic at all. There is more to erotic than having straps falling off. I am inclined to think that this is troll bait, but will play anyway.

Do some research on selective coloring. How to perform the technique properly and also how to utilize it effectively. All of your exposures, focus, white balance, and compositions are off. Try shooting some stuff outside in natural light, or next to a big window with some white curtains during the daytime. Cameras and lenses ( especially the cheaper ones ) don't fair so well indoors in dimly lit situations, so you are shooting yourself in the foot from the start. You can use flash to fix issues, but I would work on getting the shots right in optimal conditions first before diving into proper flash usage. Google "exposure triangle".

You still have a lot to learn. In your B&W images the midtones were way to muddy, you need to pull them up, your focusing if off, you need more PP practice. Offer free shoots to get more and much needed practice. The rattle shot IMO was just not flattering at all. My eye went right to the rattle then I noticed the baby.

 

[mrpink]

No one is going to steal your photos. Post them full resolution with or without a watermark, your safe.

As for your photos, the selective coloring is very out of place on everyone. Only use SC when you want to intentionally draw attention to an are or subject which otherwise might be missed or overlooked.

And as other have stated, work on focus and lighting, You have a good start,





p!nK

The second picture is out of focus as well. When your taking pictures of your daughter, try not to cut of pieces of her body, she's too cute to cut of part of her little face!


Your profile says your starting a photography business?

Ok thanks for the tip (thats why i joined up),
Yes I plan to. I have had several people ask me to do photos for them already and have got great references. A couple of years ago I got top marks for photography in all of Australasia.
But, my photos were very very very artistic which is nice if someone is wanting them as canvas art. I just haven't quite got the hang of professional photos in which everything is perfect.
I won't be starting it for a while- Im doing a course in the meantime and will be buying a MUCH BETTER camera (which is half the problem) but until then I may as well get as much advice as possible

Can we see some of this "top marks" photography?

Also where is australasia?

lol, I know but most people describe honors from a place, not a region right? Maybe she's the only photographer from one of the smaller land masses.....

This thread is a joke, right?

I'm not sure, I originally thought so and that just maybe the OP was bored. But now I am not so sure. Don't mean this to be catty either just boggled over the OP's comments and while self-confidence is seriously sexy, there must be some evidence to back it up. Clearly I have missed it.
