TPF Noob!
I like this one a lot, but it seems I'm one of the few that does. I'd like to hear what you all think. Any tips would be welcome.

Thanks for asking, but no. The walls are a yellow beige color partly because that's what color the paint is and partly because of the yellow light reflected off the walls of the stall. I never really intended it to be a pretty picture. It's more a commentary on a "bad girl" about to be caught being bad.graigdavis said:I can try to pshop it if you want me too.
Possibly, but I am afraid I would lose the feeling of looking down on the subject, both litterally and figuratively. I was up to almost ceiling level in order to get that effect. My intention was a gritty "girl gone bad" feel and for the viewer to be in a position to look down at her in judgement.ksmattfish said:I think it should be cropped tighter on the top and bottom...
That might be an option. I felt that the yellow was symbolic of a "caution" or "warning" sign. I might try seeing what it looks like in b/w though.terri said:Actually, the reason I mentioned the B&W is because I think it lends a more dramatic flair to the intent of this image. If that makes sense. Somehow the color makes it less compelling for me.

Heh. My original thought was to have her write "for a good time...", but all we had was lipstick and I was worried about how to get it off the wall when we were done. It's a public restroom in a school/artist's workshop kinda place.ksmattfish said:Hmmm, until you said something about her "being a bad girl", I didn't even notice that she was going to graphiti; I just thought she was trying to look out of the stall, or being weird... Possibly having some writing, like she's half way through it, would help emphasize this.
Of course, maybe I should just pay more attention...
I don't know if I can with that version (small jpg). That's about as dark as I could get it and keep her facial expression intact. I just did it to give people a quick and dirty idea of what it might look like in b/w.danalec99 said:DanielK said:B/W: I also tweaked the contrast/brightness.

Do you want to try more contrast? This looks too bright
