last minute idea c&c please? (is anybody still out there?)

oldtown_dreamer

i'm a well known procrastinator, but even for me, this is getting crazy.

#1


#2


#3



as always, thanks in advance for your input.

JAG

I like #1 composition better although you might consider lightening it up some. Your sepia is very dark with no highlights or contrast. #2 is closer in tone to what I am thinking for #1.

WhatSheSaw

I agree with JAG. A bit brighter on #1. Nice shot!

oldtown_dreamer

thank you JAG and WhatSheSaw.

taking your input into advice, here's the latest (posting this one):

#4.

WhatSheSaw

Much better - not so muddy. I really like this. It says leather and lace to me.

The last one is the best for me. Very nice image and composition.

For the present theme, I would like to see more of the left side - the lace - and less of the hand if possible...
Do you have another shot showing more the lace?

angevin1

Sweet Shots! I like the last two as well. Not sure either have enough contrast for my taste...The last two I like because there is more lace in them filling the frame.

thanks Tatiana, Tom and What She Saw

i didn't realize we had 12 extra hours...

so, here's one more, just because i have the time

#5


it has a little more lace and contrast and a little bit less hand. but i think i'm niting at pics at this point...

travelways

Neither did I

I would still crop it a little on the bottom - right where the hand starts and I'm wondering if you tried it B&W only...

travelways

However, I think your current one shows best the lace. You may try to crop it square.

Now, that you have time, you can try it B&W or some other pp effects...

I actually liked #2 the best! To me, it showed more lace and the contrast of shapes between the hand and the hoop is interesting.....I would be curious to see it with a similar contrast, along the lines of #5.....

#6 (a brighter version of #2)


and that's all i can do for now. work calls (the kind that pays the bills).

travelways

Much better
