Not liking this wide aspect ratio with tight framing and all the empty space. The floating head aspect of the top one is not good..she's just a head, shown on a bit of skinny neck. Not going to pull punches: these don't work well and the compositions are ungainly as hell.
....my badly composed pics were shot with an 85 mm nikon and 85 mm petzval....and I like dead space the useful and the useless kindsI like the lighting as it is spot on (pic 2). I also like the creamy background (pic 1, also 2). What kind of lens did you use to achieve these?
On the other hand, I agree with Derrel about the composition. I like the ample dead space in the photos if it makes them look more artistic. But it does not work in your images.

I was guessing you may have used 85mm lens.....my badly composed pics were shot with an 85 mm nikon and 85 mm petzval....and I like dead space the useful and the useless kindsI like the lighting as it is spot on (pic 2).

Thanks Derrel... it's good to know that you can hate what I do and be honest about it![]()

I think the number of views and lack of replies speaks to how the general TPF viewership felt about these images...when I posted, there were two replies and 140 views. Normally, people fall all over your images with accolades and heap praise on your posts; these have received the exact opposite.
I'm not afraid to tell the Emperor he has no clothes. Somebody's got to do it. Not every shot is a masterpiece.
