Nice concept for a photo. But the effect of the desaturation is that her legs get lost in that grass, and it makes her look legless! Still, I think you're onto something with that strobe work.

I saw your photo on another site and I liked it, the scenery with stormy looking skies has a great atmosphere.

Like this a lot. Very eye catching.

Superb - I love the contrast in texture between the grass, dress and sky.

her legs are kind of lost, it looks like she's floating. especially the left leg. Good feel in the picture, some noise in the clouds.

Your subtle tones make for a lovely mood. Definitely surreal.

I like the feel of this shot and it's a good choice for desat. The haloing around the woman is a little distracting. Good luck in the challenge.

ETA - No worries about scoring. I'm just commenting. :)

this is a great shot. i don't particuarly care for the halo around her, but it's great.

Great shot. The execution is perfect. I really like the definition in the clouds and I also like the fact that it's not over saturated. 8

This is nice, but it's a bit strange. To me it looks like she has no legs. Still like it though,

Very nice image, love the cloudscape and the ruby red is a lovely strong colour, good luck

This is a great image. I don't really know what to say other than well done!

Your use of tone on the dress is perfect. Had it been BRIGHT red, it would just have ruined it. The white of the clouds here and there is a nice touch. I wonder if a bit of contrast adjustment would have made it have a touch more POP overall. Still, having said that, the caliber of this challenge is very sub-par and this image helps bring it up. 7

she looks like she doesn't have any legs.

Love the feel. Great use of selective desaturation. Good Luck! 8

This would be great, really among the best, if she didn't have that unfortunate dodging halo around her. Beautiful shot, though, so I'll still give it a 7.

I really like the overall look of this one. I do wish I could see it at 8x10 instead of 640xWhatever... You do have what appears to be some oversharpening artifacts around the girls arms. I think for this media (DPC) I woulda cropped differently to make her a little more prominent. I think that a more saturated red would also make this pop a bit more at this size!

Did you intend for the mountain range to line up with the line of her dress? It keeps giving me the impression of a dress just floating there since her legs get lost in the grass and her head and shoulders are separated by the continuous line.

great image. I like it.

Great color. Matches the mood of the rest of the shot. I'm glad to see it wasn't pushed too bright.

nice dramatic image, although I think there's a bit too much dodging around the girl.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like everything about this shot except her legs blend into the grass too much

very nice

Wonderfully photographed, excellent choice of where to apply the desat... such a feeling of fragility - well done - 10

One of the best here, love the mood this sets! 10

dodging/burning overdone, great model though
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/21/2007 12:14:55 AM
I like that the color is also desaturated, very good
