Very interesting image. Im not sure what I feel when I look at this - it's unsual. I can't quite tell what it is - is it a mannequin? a statue? A real person? The black lace contrasts beautifull with the high key whites, creating an almost abstract appearance with the pattern in the lace. I'm not sure about the crop - it really doesn't work for me, because I feel that I'm not seeing enough to actually get a good feel for what the image is trying to say.

This one really doesn't work for me on many levels. I think it's that it breaks rules without haveing a purpose for doing so. Your work "Obscure Love" (which is f-ing good) cuts the head and body off but there is no doubt that there was a head and that the head was unimportant to the metaphor. Here the neck is bearly visible making you think there isn't one or the head was decapitated.

I think the most interesting part is the hands playing with the strings on the dress -- but they are cutoff oddly too. I think showing one full hand or both would have been better. The dress also distorts the body and I find that I like the shot much much more when I scroll down the page and have it cutoff the top just below the elbow (or anwhere below there but above the wrist).

Sorry if this was a little harsh -- please take it as constructive critisism -- many of your pieces hint at greatness. Keep up the good work!!!

Looking at this image and your critisisme again I don't see why I haven'y fixed the cropping already. :/
You're absolutely right here! I can't get in any more of the hand since this is how I arranged the image before shooting, but I cropped off the top and it works way better!
Thanks mate

Thank you, this is the kind of crit. I want, it's what you can really learn from. I appreciate your thoughs on it, and no, I don't think you were to harsh. *hug*

oh yes this is so nice, its so unusual yet it draws me in.

the only thing that annoys me a little - but maybe its meant to be like that? - is that you can hardly see her neck, so at first glance it looks like its a headless body. just my opinion

yeah, I realise that, to be hosnest I don't know how that happened, but I must have used to much light or something. Thank you, though!

Yes indeed, the cut is different. Great shot.

I think that the cut of this shot is very unusual. I like it.
Nice photo
