    subtle color can be useful

    Wista 8x10, Kodak EPP, does every color image need to be super saturated?



    Feel free to critique this image.

    This is nice, I really like it. The natural split-lighting is terrific.

    As a generic 'feel' image it's excellent. As a portrait of a particular dancer, I'd like to see more detail in her eyes ... they're kinda lost.

    Can't wait to get a real scan because this one has enough noise in the shadows.

    Nice.
    A little reflector fill to her face would improve it a bit.

    Beautiful! It illustrates perfectly that "less is more." So many color shots seem to shout, "Look at me! Aren't I colorful!" withiut any other reason for being. By using only as much color as necessary to make your statement about the form and beauty of the dancer and her surroundings, you've allowed the viewer to concentrate on what's most important, rather than being distracted by any extraneous elements. Bravo!!

    With a quallity scan I can get that however if you look close enough to the shadow side you will see it is distorted, that's how bad this scan is. That will be fixed at the end of September when I get a real scanner and scan the whole session which has some other very nice images in 8x10 and 35mm. Good story in the making of this image as well. It was a good experience.

    Rich, what made the red under the arch? And where was the sun relative to the camera?
