Femme Fatale

Aaaaagggggghhhhhh. Why didn't I iron that sheet? This is the first time I felt really limited by basic editing.

nice looking shot and pose.

Like Anna - I think the muted tones really work well here.

Nice shot

Greetings from the Critique Club!

First impression -- love the image, the tones and the light. Agree with the commenters about the sheet, I think it costed you quite a few points, unfortunately.

Techinicals -- I really love the light here. I would have like to see it as a more central composition, with rose and the gun equal distance from the edge. The focus is spot on, while the exposure on the model is good, the background seems a bit underexposed to me and is too similar in tone with the skin of the model.

Final thoughts -- I love the muted colors and the feel of the photo. Great composition and light. Good work.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Cheers,

Anna

love the shot not the backdrop though as i find it both distracting and too similar to the girl's clothes. 7 from me

an 8 from me... and it's in my top ten. Guns and Roses would be a better known band name perhaps... (voted earlier)

Would have worked for Gun n Roses as well. Good work. The wrinkles in the background are a little distracting.

If the muzzle had been just a touch lower (or the fabric background higher), the wrinkles in the fabric could have looked like smoke... Nice concept and photo.

Great concept. A little too muted in color for me.

I really like the light and how you managed the levels. If you did managed them, i think it gave a classy touch to this shot, one of my faves in this challenge. The border fits well too.
The fabric background looks a little crumpled (i don't know if i can use this word for that) and i wish the rose was more colored, saturated.
Nice shot, good luck! :D
PS: I'm not voting this challenge, just commenting!
PS2: Cute model!

The creases in the backdrop are really distracting. Maybe have her step a few feet off of it and use a larger aperture...?

Or Guns N Roses :)
