Okay, I'll just keep sticking this up till someone says something lol.

I can't say that I like it to be honest. Maybe if you used a really cool, odd angle it would be different. Personally, it isn't just what is in the photo but the way the photo is taken... Just me....

fair enough...atta boy is nice but so is honest dissent.

I wasn't commenting to be evil, it is just what i think. People always go on about how they respect honesty but I am not sure that works. Feel free to coment on mine...

Personally I like honesty.... HOnest dissent doesnt even have to be constructive. You were not evil at all. I hope I never shoot anything so bland that it appeals to everyone. To me that would be the worst possible picture not the one that appeals only to me.

it is a little centred...... but i love the tones..... looks like that set up could get some real nice shots..... good going mysteryscribe :thumbup:

thanks I'm old school we center everything, but you are right I should have cropped some from the top. I dont do the image on one side of a frame thing.

if it is possible to get above it (hang off a tree??) then you may get lucky with the cross' shadow spirting out the back of the statue. or you could maybe get an intricate profile view with her wings visible but out of focus?

LOL Im sixty one I dont even hang up my shirt any more.

jophassa · Jul 31, 2006

heehee. i have never hung up my shirt. i dont even have a shirt. i am only 18 afterall. ever heard of the poem 'pick more daises'? that inspired me to not do rubbish and pointless things like hang up a shirt... you will never be remembered for having a smooth shirt. i may be remembered for having a scrumpled one, though.

I like the lighting very much. The angel and the cross lit up, while the background is darker.
It tells me a story, which is always good from a pic.

mysteryscribe · Jul 31, 2006

Thank you... Sometimes you just get lucky....

And on the shirt thing, in my case it isnt poetry it's arthritis lol.

Centering, from the old school, heh......exactly.
I like what you did, the lighting, B&W and the subject are cohesive and there is a story in all that.

Is a rumpled shirt in style now?
