I thought this was one of my favourites you were robbed

Kimbly, you were soooo robbed on this. It was one of my 2 tens this week. I love this photo and expected it to be in the top 10.
07/29/2002 02:03:00 AM
This has got to be the most robbed shot of the week. Deserved MUCH better.

I'm right! Nice work, Kim! Didn't deserve #167! (IMO).

good shot. the lighting is a little harsh on the left side, and it might look a little better in black and white. good composition.

I think I know whose this is.. have suspected all week. Can't wait to see if I'm right. Not usually one for "negative space" photos, but I like the emotion in this, as well as the textures in the sweater and the wall.

Little too washed out on the left.. Nice sweater texture... Would like more hair texture. Would like to have seen this cropped by about 50%. 4 sjgleah

A little too much flat wall. I would have gone for an angle shot here, a little more from the left. The lighting is good but maybe a touch too bright on the lower left wall and the model's right elbow. 7 nards656

nice complement of course, fine, and soft texture areas

I love the texture of the sweater and the negative space and lighting really sets this of well,.. I thought this style loooked familiar.... (Kimbly) ...
p.s

You have texture, no problem. I kinda get the "shy" aspect, but overall I still don't like this shot all that much, sorry, it must be me. The nearly blank, open space to the left is just present enough to make it a distraction. If you were going for the 1/3 rule thing, it's more like at 1/4 or 1/5th, so too far to the right. Finally, estitically, would I want this photo hanging on my wall? Sorry, no. 5 Swash

Beautiful subject, technically excellent, well composed and very nice use of the negative space....10..hokie
07/24/2002 01:25:00 PM
i like the different glance. 9 for uneven lighting.
07/24/2002 10:20:00 AM
Texture?... its obvious that any photo has any kind of texture... but....
07/23/2002 09:01:00 PM
Pity the left side is overexposed.
07/23/2002 03:02:00 PM
IMHO, I would have used a dark background in order to bring out the texture of the jumper more. just a personal opinion."6" Dogman:-)

Great concept and pose. But needs more colour IMO.
07/23/2002 12:56:00 PM
yes, this photo has texture, but is not what would come to mind for this challenge, it's not my favorite, but it works. nice lighting for the emotion
07/23/2002 11:49:00 AM
Great jumper

I only gave 2 10's this week, and your photo was one of them. Wonderful use of white space.
07/22/2002 10:25:00 PM
brightt area to left distracting
07/22/2002 09:09:00 PM
nice idea but washed out on left and model's look takes away from niceness of shot
07/22/2002 05:32:00 PM
I like this--a very strong composition and an evocative pose
07/22/2002 04:41:00 PM
love it!
07/22/2002 03:50:00 PM
It's 96 here and that sweater is killing me. :) Cute shot I like the pose. The wall to the left is a bit hot would of cropped that off some. Over all.........I like this. Nice work. Kee
07/22/2002 02:06:00 PM
very good composition
07/22/2002 12:57:00 PM
One of my top picks this week.
07/22/2002 10:41:00 AM
The left side is just slightly too bright. You can still see the texture in the wall which I like. I think the background adds to the shot.
07/22/2002 09:35:00 AM
great light on that sweater. who's the hot babe? :) does she like to play poker? ;)
07/22/2002 06:35:00 AM
excelent composition. nice texture in the wall and the sweater.
07/22/2002 12:30:00 AM
excellent composition.. i love the extreme right orientation here.. the wall and sweater texture make a good impression :) Did you try this in black and white? ;) = 8 - jmsetzler
