Very nice. Just a tiny bit oof. The stockings add a lot, but should have taken off the thumb ring.

Looks right to me! The only thing I'd say is wrong (and I don't think really matters, but if I don't say it someone else will) is the woman's hair style, it's a bit too modern in my opinion, but I might be wrong.

Gotta Light??
avatar locksmagic

I'm not sure if this qualifies as film noir or not (although I'm sure kyricom or Ade will let us know ) But it's a damn fine photo that's for sure!

Getting better! You could blur the rain in front of the fallen tree even more. If you see how blurred the tree is and considering the rain is in front of the tree it should be blurred as much as the tree or even more. But it's a cool scene anyway!

Ressiv says:

Nice mood! Just a few suggestions; Blur the insect on the right above the tree to create a nice depth. The insect will look like its more in front. (you could also do that to the insect on the left) Also blur the rain drops that are in front of the fallen tree, because they are even closer then the tree itself they should be blurred at least that much. Brighten the upper part of the cup a lot and darken the lower part more because there is stronger light coming into the scene. Good luck!

a fair reply.......................I wasn't challenging the entry, just posing what I considered a valid question, as there are bound to be other similar entries in the contest.

hey ade.. I guess its on theme.. as its nowhere stated that the original object should be in white.. the desc says that white should be the main color of the picture..

Shrinking the mermaid a little and moving her to the right a bit (Rule of Thirds) might start to address CMYK46's and serialkiller's valid concerns. Looking at the hi-res: The rock she is sitting on is lacking crispness while (possibly as a result) her butt edge is too sharp. The reflection of the end of her tail should be of its bottom (and follow a shadow-like path), not of its top [3D versus 2D].

I think the lady should be darker because there is no sunlight there where she stands.
