So in my other post, "1 in a series", I mentioned I would post other some other pictures in the series. Well, here is another young model I used for it. The. Overall theme is supposed to be dark and moody. A visual representation of the trouble that todays youth are going through. The peer pressure to do wrong whilst trying to do right by their parents and with the pressure to excel from parents in school. Then add bullying into the mix and divorces and jumping from one house to another for visitation. Etc, Etc. It all adds up. We think kids are resilient but their not. They have a breaking point too. So my goal here was to share those inward feelings of dispair outwardly. I encourage you to share your thoughts or any ideas on how to make it better. Thanks.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I like the setting the way you shot it. The red light made me feel I was looking at a photo taken on the street. The hoody and street light looking glow on the model’s face adds to the illusion. Nicely done.
Thanks Joe. In fact it was shot on the street. Right after sundown.

I like it a great deal. The deep tonality suits me. My only suggestion is to clone out, or the method of your choice, the red light upper left. Perhaps you like that, just me. Nice effort.
Hot damn your right. It does throw it off a bit. How could I miss that? Anywho, thanks for the input. I appreciate it.

So. Im working on a series involving children; their lack of experience, yet endless possibilities. The series is titled, The Joy of Youth. Please take a look at this picture. If you have any suggestions or tips I'd love to hear them. Otherwise I cant grow and you cant share your expertise. I'll add more pictures later for some critiquing as well.

Nice image! The flower could use more detail. Perhaps a touch less exposure or some clarity in post processing. I'm not too partial to the rough frames (?) on the left and right. Good complimentary colors, you might crop some of the sky. I would also have different versions varying the sky's hue and saturation using Photoshop's tool of the same name. Cheers. Ed
Ok I can see what your saying. Too much empty space up top. Could you elaborate on the suggestion of "more detail" for the flower though? Thanks in advance.

The composition is not bad, but the yellow is a bit blown out, try lowering the yellow just a bit. It also looks like you either cropped too much, or you cut the flower out and moved it to a different background, as the edges of the flower are not sharp. Good start.
Its actually all in camera (cropping). Minus the tonel change in post edit. But your right. The sharpness is lost at the edges. Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated and will incorporate your feedback on my next pic.

Take a look. Then leave a comment. Nobody gets better without some instruction.

For strictly artistic reasons, I like engine 15 in color. And engine 10 in b&w.

Like, what I mean is that your 'Haunted Bridge' addressed me as far as the observation goes, but it needs some post processing. So I did it already and it looks much better, imho. Would you be interested to see it?
Hell. I would!

I would take a gander at this series. Its comical but it just proves that its not the camera but the 12 inches behind it thats important.

Just a thought.
Check out San Joaquin Valley. Farming trucks run up and down that Interstate like crazy. Below Fresno and North of Tehachapi. Maybe go as far south as Barstow if you feel like traveling that far south.
