my son, whom was diagnosed with childhood depression, stands in front of black douvatein bg.

he was great in helping me, until the end of the shoot.He has a beautiful smile when he is not in his funk, and when he is in his funk, you can tell right away something is not quite right.

however this challenge ends, I was happy to involve all three of my children for a night of photography. I think they had fun.

top light, and key, some basic crap in PS CS1.

No, unfortunetly his name is not Tim. Else if it was, then it would of been a joke on everyone involved. Thanks Minstrel.

my name is Tim. I just wanted you to know that I liked your title : Contimplation better than Contemplation.

is your son's name Tim?

I'm sorry to hear about his depression.

i dont think many people marked you down for the spelling error, your scores still show a symmetrical bell-shaped curve.

Soulful shot. Best of luck for your son, there is always hope. My heart goes out to him for so many reasons.

Okay so you complained about all the spelling comments, but people really left you some good advice on your photo technique. I would read through these agian.

Don't eat it!!!! Puts me in mind of "Snow White" :P A nifty shot, and the colours really compliment one another (I'm guessing hue/saturation adjustments?). My only beef is it looks really staged.

This is a nice image. I really like the shadow and thought that are seen in this photograph.

That would be conTEMplation.

Your title is spelled wrong. That may sound like I am picking, but I just think you should do a spell check before submitting ;)
I did not mark you down for that thoug. I did however because the apple is soft and his face is sharp. Since the apple is the subject I would have liked to see that the other way. Also to me it is unimaginative to have a person holding an apple. Not bad for a photo to me just average.

the lighting really contrasts with the mood of the rest of this piece. low key lighting would have been much more appropriate.

monk or gansta?

This is beautiful! The contrast in colours and the positioning of thr hands is great. So sharp. 9

I like the thought that went into this shot. The pose and mood through light placement is good. There is a yellow cast over this entire image. This can be corrected and the true colors brought out if you would take a moment to white balance your camera to the lighting conditions of the scene prior to taking the picture. A left border crop to eliminate the light colored fold just to the left of the apple would be my choice as well.

contemplation? Nice use of lighting.
05/18/2005 04:47:59 PM
Nice shot. Looks a tiny bit grainy or oversharpened.
05/18/2005 02:13:47 PM
Nice idea, but sidelighting would make this more effective imho. Change the i with an e and you're all set. ;-)

The light from above looks artificial, particularly given the almost medieval theme. Also, the word is spelled "contemplation".

Cont-e-mplation, nice lighting.
