Artistic SP and nudes
Okay, after pondering this for quite some time, I decided it was "okay" for me to post these.
I enjoyed blending these and felt it improved the overall photos~
How about you. Likes, Dislikes DO the photos speak for themselves or do they need more work?
Cheers, and thanks in advance~

....come, come people...
Have no fear, Expressive criticism can be useful~
#1
#2 The 'heart' reference doesn't make sense to, especially if she is portrayed over most of your body. Also, the vertical dark line on your right lower leg seems a bit out of place.
for both #1 and #2, I think I know what you are trying to say/show, but I think the you with the dagger (?) could also be interpreted as fighter her off instead of fighting for her.

I was witholding my opinion, but since you insist...
1) like the idea, but don't like the part that peeping trrough. She may be she gost, but he's not.
2) It's a digital mess, sorry.
3) Could be good, but light patterns in the two sources are in a total disarray - which should be your primary concern when creating composites. I'm not saying they should be identical (I myself use variant light sources when I blend), but the final result should be believable - which this one , undortunately, is not :-(

Oh no! DO not withold!! I posted for honest critique, not to have everyone tell me all that is great with the world!! Opinions count...and I value most of everyone I see post 'round here! I posted differnt stuff, because I get so very bored with the same old...if you know what I mean~ So fire away: PLEASE Nik!
1. Was meant to refer to her thinking of him only.
2. The digital mess...yeah, well...what can I say to that. 1 part true. 2 parts maybe. I was just exporing ideas here truthfully.
3. Not certain if you mean the he and the her seem to have differing light sources and should have similar...but to me at least, since he appears to be riding in out of the ethers...why does that matter? So question...why does it matter??
Thanks for taking the time....holding back is no way to practice safe art:D
Ivar...Thanks so very much for stopping by and being so thorough.
#2 Seems to be the decidedly messy one...so I'll take all the critiques I can get and think about it all when composing next go round!
I am here by a large for arts sake...and when doing the comps, that is what was intended, to just create. It is not at all easy to place this 52 y/o body out there for everyone (or no one) to critique....esp. when no one will! I'm not sure I could ever go Maplethorpe, but his work is inspiring~ Being a Registered Nurse, I deal with nakedness all the time...Men/Women; All! I find it just such a natural condition...so it is often hard to come to the public with such potentially judgmental artworks~ Having Solid critiques aids me in my trepidation! It would be very difficult to insult my old A__!:D
So thank you so very much!
cheers,
Re#3
I believe the idea of the image is that the Knight in Shining Armour (ok, semi-nekkid:-) is appearing out of the thin air. While I'm on board with the idea (and event color vs BW treatment - ok, she daydreams in BW:-) the totally unmatching light patterns make it, well, a poorly executed composite as opposed to a cohesive fantasy image. :cry
Once again, I'm not saying the light in all sources should be identical. But at least it shouldn't clash. Unfortunately, yours do.
I will take that seriously into consideration and look into it! Thanks again for taking the time!!
