Not really a "model" shot, but it's real, dramatic, and moving.

It needs some Gaussian Blur and maybe a little 'glow.'

Meh. Not everyone sees photos the way I do, but that's ok. Not everyone has to. I like what I do.

Makes my neck hurt looking at it. I think the photo does what it should,puts ME there.

Smart, sane and funny?  Must be a model.  Can't be a photographer.  Nice shot.

I'm being funny, and making fun at the myriad over- and poorly-Photoshopped images on this site.

Thanks.  

I think he was eluding more to the fact that I have alot of the same "effect" applied to the photos in my port, though. It was kind of a subtle needling. Which I'm ok with. I can take a little good natured ribbing.

I'm aware I haven't got alot of experience or technical "skill" like I see in other ports, but.. For a guy who has never taken a course, a class, or had ANY pro training, and picked up a camera a couple years ago on a lark at an estate sale, I don't think I'm doing too bad. I learn alot, I read alot, I study alot of photos.. It's lead me to working for the local weekly newspaper, as well as freelancing for several of the bigger newspapers in bigger markets (IE, Canwest Media).

Here's some of the pics I took this summer, 90% of which was published.

Edit - I forgot - To Mr. Melvin... I genuinely ADORE your work. THAT'S the kind of work I'd like to be doing. (And I'm not being facetious. I'm quite serious.)

Just looked your port again.  You can insult my pictures any day.  Iona and Wynd in one shot.  You are my new hero.

That happened to me once. The woman was NOT impressed with me.

I think I would like it better in black and white, the pic itself is not bad at all but I'm pretty sure its stronger in bl/w

So, which single image in your profile is the most underappreciated (i.e. has fewer comments that it deserves)?

Here's mine:
   https://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pid=1006514  Note:  almost 18+
I like the glint in the model's eye & the overall feel of the image.  The shadows are nicely dramatic.

Note:  I originated the post, so I make the rules -- nominate only one of your images.
