This is a good concept that fits the challenge well IMO. Nice play of light and shadows. It looks though like the model is just holding the apple up blocking out her lower face. I think an improvement could be to either actually show her mouth biting the apple, or perhaps held a little out and lower, showing part of the mouth as if she is about to bite. Just my 2 c. :-)

Interesting post processing, can you give a how to?
 04/01/2005 04:06:03 PM
wow, how do you get the very flat look of her skin?

Idea's great, picture's nice, model's beautiful, but the apple is too big. :( Maybe a better composition would be her holding the apple away from her face and it has a bite taken out of it.

Interesting photo. I like the special effects. It makes me want to look longer, and see more. Nice lighting. Great glossy hightlights on the apple. Lots of colors in her hair. Her eyes just reach right out and grab you. Hell, I'd eat that apple if she offered it to me. <9>

Another good idea flattened out by the flash attached to the camera. Try disabling your flash, and take more pictures!

It does not seem a natural picture.

good theme! But feels very processed - lots of Neatimage? Maybe you wanted the idea of "flawless before the fall" to come through, but it makes me think of plastic!

Very good idea for this challenge. The girl's skin looks so plastic and unreal.

Good idea, the Neat Image is wayyy overdone. See how her skin and the apple look like plastic? Could be your intention though....

Nice skin tones. I like the lighting on the apple. Her eyes are hauntingly beautiful,

basic editing??

Bit too much post-processing...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/30/2005 07:49:29 PM
Wow, this looks very over-processed. Skin looks like plastic. It may be what you were going for but is not in my taste.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/30/2005 07:37:41 PM
Why does this look so edited and stylized?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/30/2005 06:33:35 PM
Clever interpretation.
The skin looks a little over processed- blurred or NeatImaged?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/30/2005 06:07:03 PM
way too much NI. she almost looks like a computer graphic

 03/30/2005 05:36:47 PM
your model has beautiful eyes..... nice picture, too :)

There is something about the womens complexion , it is so smooth and flawless that makes it almost look unatural...and the shine on the apple makes it almost appear to be artificial as well. But those aren't necessarily bad things, I still like it.

I really picture Eve to look something like her. Good job.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/30/2005 09:33:57 AM
Focuses more on the person and not the apple.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/30/2005 02:21:07 AM
skin looks plastic, how'd u do that
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/30/2005 12:45:55 AM
I'm guessing that you used neatimage or some sort of softening plugin, but I think that you overdid it
