Vote: Weird PP on Model

cmorganphotography

Please vote!! C+C always welcome! Thank you for looking.:lust

This one is called Mary Shelley, I was going for a reanimator/frankenstein kind of look.


"Can't Erase Mistakes" is supposed to look like a pretty car accident. She's flipped up on the hood of a classic BMW. Alternative title is "Two Classics" let me know on titles if you want!


"Dali's Muse" - Salvidor Dali was a great artist, a bit warped, like this picture. A pretty girl that I hopefully didn't mess up too bad.


Enjoy!

The first is OK and the second/third just don't do anything for me.

Common mistake: you forgot to include "Go shoot something else" option in your poll
JK, I voted #3

Fair enough. What's ok with the first one? Thanks for looking!

I'm all shot out, got a big event the weekend and the next three. Busy, not like you, but busy. I'm glad you like number 3. I realize after the fact that it kinda looks like Joker graffiti on her face. Thanks for voting!

#3 for me.

Interesting, unique and beautiful.

First one is nice, but caught me as a 'waxy' type figure - didn't really catch my eye. Second one is alright, but feels a bit washed out - no punch.


All done with great imagination.

Thankl you for voting and the kind compliment! It took me a few times to do the last one because my photoshop kept unexpectedly shutting off. I've fixed the few artifacts and pp mistakes on it. The first one started off with her in green liquid in a glass tube. That's where it ended up. It lost a little direction along the way. Any improvement suggestions?

None. I think you have a good eye. I'm stumped repeatedly when it comes to imagination, so while some may find them less interesting, I think they are outstanding.

I really enjoy and admire those with good photography eyes and who are blessed with such an active imagination. Keep up the good work.

I like #1 and #2 in that order. #3 tends to have little "Rollie Fingers" mustaches on either side of her mouth that make it amusing.

Interesting processing of these images. They are on the extreme end, but thats ok!

Nah, you have plenty imagination... let the kid at heart out but keep the adult around so you don't accidently break the camera.

Easy for you to say.

Thanks for the vote of confidence... gotta work on it more.

I know, it's got a sense of humour. I tried using the warping tube but then she looked like ice cream on a hot day. So I went with swirlies. Thanks for looking! Into horror flicks, eh??

Hang out with some little kids, they'll give your confidence and imagination a little turbo boost. Read at a library or babysit. Kids don't need costumes to imagine themselves as pirates or lizardmen or biomech androids from Tilbrolzon 8. Plus, I'm weird so it all works out! :ps :encore

Nope. Don't like horror movies. But I've read many of the classics and know who Mary Shelley is.

:lol After I posted it I realized she could pass for a girl Hulk. Don't make Kari mad!! So, I guess you voted based on the title?

Nope. I voted because I thought it was the most interesting to me. The title really had nothing to do with it.

I'm happy it was interesting to you, being a pp guru. I wanted to name it Moander's Dream.... but that's WAAYYYYY too subtle a dnd tribute.

I think #3 could be pretty nice, if you mask out her face and make the swerlies elsewhere a tad stronger.

The lighting is dramatic. Though a tad blown out in the lower parts of the image (around her arm).

I tend to have that. Maybe with some PS mastery I'll not have that problem anymore.
Thanks for the update.

What dod you mean by mask her face out? I can deepen the swirls around her and I did fix some bugs, the updated version is going up when I get home. Thanks for the comment!

I mean put a layer mask in that excludes the model's face from the swirl filter, so you only get swirling round her face, or maybe a little bit just on the edges

#3 without a doubt their best and eye catchy.
#1 I like its color if it was on the original photography, but I totally dislike the texture.
#2 No.
