Picture Of The Week - April 10, 2007

Postby Nnnnsic on Wed Apr 11, 2007 7:16 am

I'm a day late with the POTW, yes I know, but I'm working on something.

Anyway, this week's POTW goes to an image that glows. Literally.

Image

It's a beautiful image with wonderful overtones of sensuality blending with the high-key look that adorns this image. It really is excellent work.

Great job, Heath. :up:

As I said in the original thread, great stuff, Heath.

Now that I look at this shot again, I would prefer to see the darker strip at the top removed somehow.

But anyway, it's a fantastic shot. Well done. :)
Cheers,

Thanks heaps!

I now have even more faith in my art director, as this was her pick :D

Yes - true. I don't think it really adds to the image much. Might try that. :idea:

Top work Heath, well deserved.
Regards, Patrick

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

G'day Heath,

When I first reviewed this photo, I raved about it and said it deserves publishing in a major magazine.

Now you've won POTW - no surprises there :D

This is a stunning photo and well deserved of its acolades

Well done!

Cheers

Michael
