Re: Tatiana on the Rocks

Skip, I think this model has potential, but I really don't like the pose or her expression. In any other circumstance, I'd be calling an ambulance!

Sorry my friend, but for me, it does not do anything positive. I'm sure you must have some better shots than this one.

Dab

The thing that I am not wild about here is the quality of the image. It lost a lot in the compression, plus as I softened the skin, it softened the outline.

I kindof like the pose. It think it is sexy and provocative, and I like the angles of her arms and legs. To each his own....I appreciate your comment.

Re: Tatiana on the Rocks

Fair comment, Skip. Probably the first one of yours I've not taken to.

I thought you liked the pose, or else you would not have done the shot!

Just my take, anyway. Important thing is if you and she like it. Go and chop some of mine up in the sharing forum.

Re: Tatiana on the Rocks

I can't help but look at this photo and think "That looks a tad uncomfy". Probably not the desired response you were after....

Well if it's the rock that's causing the problem, let me lie down first.............

Skip,

I'm not sure if its the screen i'm using (laptop at work) but the image seems to lack any punch in the colours if that makes sense. The sky and the white breaking water dont help.

Re: Tatiana on the Rocks

Probably your screen, Ian, but it is all in the perception. I did try adjusting the black and white points, but it made Tatiana even more contrasty than she is.

Although this image is far from great, I still like the composition of the pose. However, the consensus is that the pose is not good.

Ah, well, Tatiana liked this too

Re: Tatiana on the Rocks

Taken on a surface that doesn't make you feel it is uncomfortable for her, I like the idea of the pose. It;s the classic arched back, chest out , that makes the most of a womans figure. The only thing for me is seeing the soles of the feet..... something doesn't feel quite right there for me..... I'm not sure I've seen many such shots although I may have missed them. Is it because it makes her feet look quite big ...usually shots try to make the feet look smaller ??

Not an expert in this field, so I may be talking tripe

Re: Tatiana on the Rocks

i kind of like this pose Skip, although im not that enthusiastic about the feet, but i DO have a feet thing...... i hate em!... her facial expression doesnt look natural tho.... she looks false.... i would like to see a more honest expression , she looks as if she is trying to hard.

nice one apart from the IMO

Re: Tatiana on the Rocks

My immediate two thoughts when I saw this shot were 'Oh Skip, get that horizon straight!' (it's 0.81 degrees off horizontal) and 'How very 70's!' as that is the feel of both her pose and the hairstyle and things.

I can't say I find it a sexy shot but then that is each to their own, I just don't find ladies bending backwards and trying to touch their toes with their head particularly sexy! Must admit, it's a pretty neat party trick if you can do it <g>

Cheers,
Rob

Cheers,

I worry about you if your first thought about this image was the horizon

It is so great to have you back. Could you tell us about your experience over the past week?
