I have already posted this image on the entry thread, and I am pleased with it. However, I tend to "dis-embody" my subjects a lot, when working with dark/drammatic lighting. I tried to leave more light on the right side, but I am concerned that it my be too dark on the left. Any C&C would be greatly appreciated.

    Definately the left eye is too dark, also looks a bit too soft overall, especially the crystal ball and hand holding it. Very cool concept though.

    Damn! This has to be the all-time record for a first response to a challenge. rolleyes1.gif

    What a neat concept! But I agree with Kurt that the left eye looks a bit dark. I love that spacey look to her right eye.

    I usually have to think a theme over in my head for several days, before anything comes to mind. I hesitated posting so soon--but, sometimes you just have to jump in. Thanks for the C&C.

    Shouldn't you be disqualified for getting a great idea and posting sooo soon? eek7.gif

    Great job! Always nice when the idea comes quickly and you already have the props and model ready to go. Congrats!

    Now for the rest of us... ideas, we need ideas headscratch.gif

    You'd think it would take the pressure off--but, I now have a lot of time to second guess myself....eek7.gif

    You can see the left eye better but because the shadow isn't quite in proportion to the light, it looks like she's got a black eye. ne_nau.gif
