I have narrowed them down, but can't decide between these two. Opinions?


1. Held Captive

2. Unexpected

    They are both totally disturbing! thumb.gif doesn't matter, either one of the two would easily be in the top six :D, If I had to choose... 1 would be it...

    WOW Sandi!
    #1 is amazing. I feel genuine emotion. Wow! Very, very nice.

    #2 is OK, but I feel the emotion is being forced on me, if that makes sense.

    Yikes! Both very well done. I think #1 looks more genuine. more despair than pure fear, but fits theme.

    Thanks! I had a very willing, enthusiastic sister with a creepy, old house.

    I have a few other shots on the toilet, I may work with a few of those to see of they show more fear. I just loved the pose on the one above though. #2 makes me crack up every time I look at it. I also have some other totally different poses, but if I post those, you guys will think I am really mental.

    Hard to top #1...to me it's the more genuine for the two. Good depiction of mental disturbance which could work for something like psychic fear. GP

    I worked on a few more:

    5.

    I just cropped #5 and it is purely for humor. I'm not sure how strong it would be for an entry, but it really makes me laugh.

    I am still with #1 for the emotion it contains.

    I like #3 best, as I find #1 to be just TOO disturbing. #3 conveys fear without being so creepy. You did a great job on #5, too--love it!

    My first choice is still #1, then #3. They really are well done. GP

    #1 for sure. The others, while interesting, are caricature or "camp" fear rather than real emotion - they're very "silent movie". While that can be amusing - or even appropriately moving - in certain contexts, it doesn't have anything like the impact of the despair which is projected in #1.

    I like #3... but also like #5 for the scary but funny quality. :)

    This looks a bit like the wife from Biutiful (a Spanish movie). All great shots! #1 is the best of the lot! thumb.gif

    Good pick up, Don - I do see a resemblance in the two women. My sister would be happy to hear that! Thanks for your input.
