Gong for spooky?

Mr. Quiet

What do you guys think?

I know there is a lot if grain, but does it work?

Think the idea works only critique would be it looks like you have some camera motion blur unless the model is hairy ?

I will do a re-shoot, with a tri-pod this time... I am not sure if that is grain or blur...

Normally I don't mind grainy and less then super-crisp images, but for macro work I like crisp and clear (do as i say not as I do ). I'd use that tripod and probably more light. I also like offsetting the focal point, but i'd shoot this in portrait and leave 1/3 as negative space rather than 2/3s.

I like the subject and definately see potential in this Please post the results from your second try.

Mr. Quiet

I will take your advice jsqueri, and I will post the second try here also, just give me a few days

Mr. Quiet

Thank you all for taking a look!

I think the light on #1 (my favorite) is perfect and I really like the composition on 4.

Your "studio" looks about as high tech as mine does . Isn't it fun playing around with the lights, backdrops and composition. I love experimenting with my macro lens and my make-shift studio.

Nice work.

Mr. Quiet

It is very fun, the only problem I have is my lights do not move... it is very annoying... In the fourth one, I wanted the effect of the sun hitting directly on the center figures head...
