Not to bad at all. I think #2 has to much nagative space in the top hafe. Other than that you lighting & exposures look great. Good work

yeah, some negative upper space in number but the rest of them have some pretty interesting angle.

#1 is cool. reminds me of being john malkovich.

#1 is awesome! You have such creativity! Keep it up! I agree though about #2 too much negative space.. So maybe crop it alittle. Other than that you have great lighting and angles.

The first picture brings me to a question.

Are you the "Justme" I am thinking of?

Upon further review I am led to believe I was mistaken, the justme I was thinking of has shown them self to have had an SLR/dSLR for some time now. not to mention a completely different watermark.

It was the artist maniquin that spured the question.

I agree about #2, too much space at the top. It appears that you cut part of the head off on figure to the right. But I like these pics. Nice work!! And welcome to the forum.

thank you guys very much.i didn't expect so many comments......i appreciate your advices and i'll try to make better photos.i have so much reading to do about this camera.......

This is another variation for picture #2

The second version is much better. Maybe it's just me, but it looks like your white balance is off a little..

they are really good ideas and they're set up well, but is it just me or do they all seem a bit soft..even blurry?

justme2312 · Jan 22, 2008

The pictures are quite soft because i shot them by hand.....without a tripod....and there was a very small light with an orange tint.I made these pictures at iso 1600 with a time value around 1/10-1/20.I don't know if that's good......but in any other way it was worse.
