Candid shot of a girlie of mine. I did some cookie cutter junk with it on photoshop.

I think we've all felt this way before, out of sync, disjointed, I know I have...sometimes the technical aspects of photos get in the way and the true emotion is hidden by what we preceive as "good" or "bad" photographically. This goes beyond that to share a moment of feeling or emotion that we all feel from time to time but don't like to admit to, Kudos for shareing. I for one find it very creative and emotional...

Well...Can you stand back for a moment and ask yourself this...What do "You" think of the image? That is the first question to ask. It is "Your" image. You committed yourself to capturing the moment and made a decision to share the image with all of us here. That in it self is very admirable. Do you like "Your" image? That is "ALL" that matters..It takes courage to share yourself with others.

Oh, and by the way...I do like your image. Why? Because it is "Raw" honest and candid. You captured reality in it's most pure form.

Best Wishes..

Ben

First off the photo isn't sharp at all and the flash is entirely too brite. Then there is nothing in the background or near her to imply a point of focus to be the topic of the photo much less imply a dark thought. I also agree with fotoman_forever on the cookie cutter junk, it's not a great effect you applied, because it IS much sharper than the photo. Now, if the image was sharper and the effect had a red hue to it to imply the insanity of looking at a person and wanting to murder that person, then the idea of the image would work.

Keep trying, I really think you had an interesting idea and that with a little more work you will get it!

I dont like the photo or PP. Your subject looks like she is saying,'dont take a snapshot of me!". It is out of focus and it looks like a cup of coffee was spilled on it.

To quote you, "cookie cutter junk in photoshop", I'm not terribly fond of it and probably what turns me off the most is the effect is sharper than the photo.

The B&W treatment of the photo is ok, I do kinda like it.

The message of the photo is missing me and I'm not sure how to equate it with the title. Ofcourse it might be just because I'm in a bad mood.

I don't mean to sound harsh, really, but I see you can do better.

This is a much better piece from you.

The womans head is out of focus and the stuff on her arms bothers me alot. This has a true snapshot feel to it.

Can't see her face and it looks like paint was spilled on the photo... If that's what you were going for, run with it.

well its a little out of focus... but other than that the grunge efect allows the oof to remain quite unnoticed...overall good concept...just next time take a little more time to compose it
