Description Warning to the Watchers: Photodump day! I've been editing a few pictures over the past few days, and now it's time to upload them; I really should try to upload as I go, but oh well...

Last one for (I think) today!!

When I printed out my photos a few weeks ago from the past year, I definitely had some favorites and some not so favorites... But one stood out as a "this is such a good idea, but this photo really sucks" So when I saw it, I remembered this contest dA is having where you replicate an old work, only better... Of course, there's not really a category for just photography, but the idea still stuck in my head, so the other night I decided I would do that... Replicate an old work, only much better...

The old one: [link]
I have really hated the way I edited that one, but with the whole Project 27 thing I decided I wasn't going to go back and re-edit the photos, even though dA does give that option... Plus I didn't like how my feet looked in that one either... So with those two things in mind, I gave it another shot. Not the exact same pose, in this one my head is thrown back much farther (and back arched more) but my hair is also shorter/not as thick as it was then, and I still wanted to cover everything

*Thanks to for the new title!!

Great fine art nude capture, and implied at the same time with the perspective, and flowing hair. Nicely executed

Well you pulled it off masterfully, if you get a chance, take a look at my Spiral Jetty album. The shots of me up on the posts, yes I climbed up there, and totally worth the trouble for the shots

totallymessed [2009-04-28 02:37:01 +0000 UTC]

I agree, this one is better, particularly the lighting. The original one was way too bright.

For a title, I would pick "Surrender"

Very interesting pose. It provokes much thought and makes me think a little bit more into my old anatomy class.

Project-27 In reply to frankmarlowe [2009-04-29 01:24:11 +0000 UTC]

it is certainly a stretch for my anatomy... I'm sure anyone who had been present for the shoot would have been at my lack of balance

Haha. I can imagine you had a few bumps afterward, but it was worth it. The pic looks great!

Maybe the title should be "what would mom say about this"

Personally, I think it's beautiful.

wow - photodump allright! - but - luckily most of them are worthwhile clicking on as usual -
This one is quite amazing - making your body twist to almost dwarf like proportions -
And so much better than the previous one - both in colour and composition -- you outdid yourself with this replication !- well done -

Project-27 In reply to eRiQ [2009-04-28 21:36:12 +0000 UTC]

hehe thanks Yeah it took some flexibility to get the shot right, lots of trial and error. (more on the error side I think )
