Hi Andy. I liked this on Flickr only to see that you had posted it 45 seconds before! Love the symmetry, has it been mirrored? Anyway, super image and better than the one you got inspiration from.
Btw Poor Izzy, how much did this cost you?
Hi Andy,
I'm playing catch up (as usual!)...
Animals: I like both photos but Animals 1 has it for me for the BG image and 2 for the little origami rabbit. Nice touch adding the shadows too.
Medical: What a sinister shot. Great fit to the theme. Just gone overboard with the red eyes IMHO.
Proverb: Good fun shots and good proverbs to go with them. Love the facial expressions
Pale: Interesting photo. I'd not seen the original before. It doesn't sit right with me though. The skin under the material feels like it's a touch too colourful for Pale though if that makes sense or the feel of the photo feels more dark than pale to me - sorry.
OMG .. yet more horror ... more Hannibal Lecter than Magritte tho my first thoughts were Goats Head Soup.
Your best selfie yet Andy .. regulation full frontal, the material is just perfect: grandma's knitting meets medieval armour.
I don't know about lighting a shot like this but it looks spot on to me.
Now that certainly inst what I was expecting to see, love the symmetry and the lighting Andy, and I don't mind seeing the flesh trough the fabric either, my first thought when I saw it was Doctor Who
Hi Andy, very interesting take on the theme, its all been said above about the symmetry, a little disturbing maybe, kind of Japanese horror movie
pity you couldn't find the original material, but it works as it is, very good indeed
Hi Andy. A very interesting and thought-provoking, mystery, image. Nice texture and lighting. Love it.
Great a little sinister but great all the same. For me I'd prefer if the neckline wasn't visible.
Hi Andy ....not sure about this one, the knitted material just doesn't sit right for me, but I can see what d00d means it does look a bit medieval armourish. I actually think it looks better in the smaller image in you avatar.
Well, that explains why the link didn't work, there's no "tear" pic here!
Anyway, harsh critique from me on this one, but it's honest.
Very creative, making something look like something else, I like that, so 10/10 for a great idea, but it looks rushed, DOF is very shallow and as a consequence parts of the leaves are OOF, plus there's CA on the bottom leaf which says to me you didn't take your time processing?
He is capable of much better, as I bet they used to say on your school report!
Sorry.
B.
The image and your write up are there now. Forum playing up a little I think.
Hi Andy, I see where you are going with this, its a nice idea, though I agree with Brian about the DoF the bottom leaf in particular is slightly OOF
I do feel it needs to be sharp all over
BG you have commented on yourself i am sure the people with the bright monitors will be along to say they think its fine, but i can see the difference on mine.
After all that I like it, even if it was a little rushed.
Enjoy your day at Spurn Point
Hi Andy. Must admit I didn't see too much wrong with the image itself which I thought was quite clear, colourful and detailed. The only thing I did sorta wonder about is the somewhat tenuous link to the theme.
When I looked first time the pic wasn't there, I think the forum was playing up a bit. Anyway, what you doing on here aren't you supposed to be at sperm point with that Blonde?
Typo? - maybe
Looks just great to me .... and most interesting theme interpretation.
Look closely and see imperfections ..... if you want.
Strtange thing but I really do like that - colours, texture and composition all there ... plus of course well and truly themed.
Hi Andy, that does work great colours too
Tear #1 - I was thinking along a similar idea, but yet to pull my finger out. Lovely textures.
Tear #2 - a very nice find indeed.
Ooooo you lucky bugger. Nicely shot Andy, love the colours and the texture, it's a cracker.
Def teardrop-like ... and yes, good colour & texture. Composition-wise .. would like to see looser top crop.
Love your origami animals Andy, specially the first one - the drawn on eye gives the impression that he's thinking "how on earth did I end up here!"
Medical is a really great dark image and makes me wonder what she's thinking she would like to do to you
I'm not too keen on the pink and green combination for the second Tear shot, but I love the simplicity of the tear-shaped leaves
Hi Andy, I know what you mean about struggling with it,
portrait is good as are the words just not sure they go together, but as you say a good opportunity to have a play in PS
The main thing is its different, to be honest I am expecting lots of scrabble or spaghetti pics, thats the cynic in me though
