Check out this reflection. I did not create the reflection in post production, it was there when we reviewed it out of the camera.

    Nice!
    Kudos to your model agreeing to get wet, and kudos to you for getting such a nice low vantage point! thumb.gif

    Yeah, no kidding! That reflection sure is creepy, but the rest of the photo is great. I would crop above the reflection - then the photo is ace. That flower falling down her shoulder really does something for me. Great colors and lighting. Skin tone looks a bit plastic-y and there's some funky bokeh going on... Perhaps a little too active in the post-processing noise reduction? But only slightly impacts the photo.

    Thank you for your comments. The bokeh is probably caused by Topaz, the filter I used on everything but the skin. I can't bring myself to crop above the reflection. While it is creepy, I think it is the coolest part of the picture. I am just getting into this so I appreciate the comments and critique.

    The way the reflection picks up her eye is very interesting, and yes, just a bit eerie.

    Wonderful colors and beautiful model. Would love to see more from this series.thumb.gif

    Hi,

    I like the shot, but the colours and skin tone look 'unbalanced' and 'plasticy' on my monitor. Would love to see it with a bit less PP.

    Hope to see more!
    C&C always welcomed.

    Cheers

    Chris

    I received an email from smugmug that they do not allow nudity, so I cropped the picture.

    I believe they do, but they must in a password protected gallery.

    I wouldn't do a thing about the reflection and I don't have a clue what that email you recieved, was (?????). This IS where shots like yours are SUPPOSED to be.
