Nice procesessing, but would love to see or one bottle or a whole bunch of it..
SeekingFocus (Jason Langley) added a critique 1 year ago:
The composition seems a bit weak here. I would suggest maybe focusing on only one bottle or try a less cluttered background. Also, the top of the right bottle is cropped off, I would try to change that if possible.
The tones are just about prefect though.

Hi, I have to say that I totally agree with your criticism. I took this one in a hurry. I don't like the cropped top and I should have concentrated on just one bottle. At that moment I was fascinated by the label and green tones but unfortunately I paid no attention to details. Thanks for your help.

It needs to be straightened and it's too green to me. I'd boost the contrast.

uncommondepth (Roberta Murray) added a critique 1 year ago:
This is a nice sunset scene. The quality of the image is very low though. I am not sure if this was a digital image or a scan of a film image, but there is a lot of grain and pixelation which detracts from the overall scene quite a bit. It almost looks like the sharpening filter was used very heavily because of the highlighting around the edges.
I do not scan film, so if this was a film image I can't offer any suggestions for improvement, but if this was a digital image, I would say back off on the processing. Some softness in this type of image is acceptable, even expected.
Michael (Michael Bakker) said 1 year ago:
@uncommondepth, yes it is an analog photograph and I've processed it after that. Thanks for you're comment!
bodyNsoul (Patrick Krolis) added a critique 1 year ago:
agree with uncommondepth. but would still like to say superb capture, it is beautiful execpt for the issues mentioned. will you repost?
TheAntipodes (Menno van Zaanen) added a critique 1 year ago:
The colours are just wonderful. It is a pity that the sky is grainy. Perhaps the foreground could have an even larger contrast to the background?

Thank you everyone for the comments!
It's funny that you should all mention yearbook photos, as this was actually a photo taken of my girlfriend a few years ago at her graduation.
This was actually printed in a darkroom from a color negative, and I used a #4 contrast filter to really get some separation in the darks and lights - hence the blown highlights, but yes it was intentional. Finally a good wash and then toned in selenium.
Michael (Michael Bakker) added a critique 1 year ago:
Is this a scanned analog photograph? its a nice toning.
SeekingFocus (Jason Langley) said 1 year ago:
Michael,
Yes this is a scan of a silver gelatin print toned in selenium. Thanks for the comment!
TheAntipodes (Menno van Zaanen) added a critique 1 year ago:
I like the overexposure (is it?) of her hair and right shoulder (which is on the left, of course), which is then toned down by the yellowish colour. I like this, but I can't really say exactly why :)

Beamer (Clyde Beamer) added a critique 1 year ago:
I kinda like the surreal color, but...
Little trick, if you don't want the bright reflection of your hand in the eyes, wear black gloves and a black shroud, that'll really scare the cat and then you won't get the shot, lol. It's a trick we use when shooting car's and other highly reflective subjects for car commercials. We shroud the whole camera setup in black, including all light stands, etc.
But, if you like the reflection, then never mind...
xtralution (Tony Rose) added a critique 1 year ago:
b&w with no coloured eyes would have been much better. you overdo it!
Michael (Michael Bakker) added a critique 1 year ago:
I think the depth of field is too much.. I like it more sharpen.
dreamer247 (Ben Godkin) added a critique 1 year ago:
The color defiantly grabs your attention, but then it loses you because of the artificiality. Photoshop can do many things, but sometimes its what you dont do that makes a better photograph.
Sonoma added a critique 1 year ago:
Spectacular! Love the color of the eyes w/ the B&W. Not just your ordinary pet shot!

The sky is beautiful... i love the color contrast of the sky
diezel99 added a critique 1 year ago:
This is a beautiful image that can only be improved by removing the bottom 2/3 of the gloden grass. It draws way too much attention to the bottom of the picture. Other than that it is breathtaking. nice job.
xtralution (Tony Rose) added a critique 1 year ago:
i like these sunbeams. fantastic!
Michael (Michael Bakker) added a critique 1 year ago:
only a litle bit cropping and less bleu would be a great photo i think..
phocrastinating (Prasanth V) added a critique 1 year ago:
Great job. I think the sky should be more colorful though.

Very sexy! I love how the second eyes shows just a bit, but has the same intensity as the other.

Fascinating !
Michael (Michael Bakker) said 1 year ago:
excellent portrait! and beautiful eyes also.
sunside (Markus Mayer) said 1 year ago:
Instant fav!
Nice image. Great greens. I love the label on the Diable Vert! I would almost prefer an interesting take on this bottle alone.
