I agree for the useful critique of Mr. DeLanoy. After reading his comment, I can give a better look to this interest shot. Some like him should paid to do comments, it would truly help us in our art!
i think that was one of the best most honest critiques i have ever had on this site. thanks for taking the time to help me adjust my picture. i plan on doing some dark room stuff to it soon and ill probably post that when im finished. but ill look to fix the problems with the foto that are distracting. thanks again.
Interesting! Nice concept. There's a few problems, though. The blobby thing on the neck is distracting, as is the dark patch in the lower right corner. You could easily darken the blob on the neck until it matched the rest and the dark corner could be cloned out. It seems to me that this type of image, being dependant so much on form, needs to be carefully examined for such small distractions. At least they're easy to fix.
On the positive side, I like the blue streaks very much. They enhance the unnatural shape of the hair and emphasize the verticality of the pic. The little fuzzy spot on the right, in the middle -- that's nice, too. It breaks up all the dark and also gives the image a sense of having been quickly produced, sort of like a Warhol. That slap-dash sense works well with an edgy image like this one.
This is a cool shot. It's a lot of fun and I like it a lot. Pardon my nit-picking but I do think a few small changes could improve it a great deal.
