I don't think this is a weak photo at all. However, i think, like some of the others here, when it is grouped with other photos that exist in your portfolio, it doesn't stand out.

Outside of the fact that it is black and white,

  Most likely, I think this is due to the contrast. There is very little, if any, black at all. I don't think that is a bad thing for this particular photo. Just a reason as to why it may stand out less. In fact, I think this image would not be as good if the contrast was pumped up. I like its softness.

   One thing I personally think could be changed is that cloud haze effect should go. It makes the image look like it was printed from one of those "Leonardo" photo booths in shopping malls. If not removed, it should at least be way less abrupt. It really only bothers me on the upper left side of the pic where the top of her head is gone. The right side really looks nice along that strand of hair.

I like the composition a lot. Having her fall on the left side with the cropped head was a great idea. It's definitely hard to see on this website with a white background though. Maybe  some thin line as a border would help make this easier. But i would only do this when showing it on websites with white backgrounds, not portfolios or dark websites, because I think borders tend to look tacky most of the time.

Anyways, I hope that helps.

Thanks for the critique.  The upper left has bugged me too.  I have needed to go back and redo it.  I think are right about it too soft to stand out amd thus gets lost.  I like your idea of the border.  Thought it would be too much when I did it but now I think like you said a very thin border might help.  I'll give it a try.

Thanks

I just came across this thread and then went to my portfolio here on MM and picked out the pic that has the least views and the only one to have no comments. Here it is for your viewing pleasure:



I don't know that it's necessarily the "most underappreciated" as much as just not a fave among my peers. It's got kinda a Weber feel to it I think. I like it ok. But then, I'm a fan of all my work...

OK, looks like I am back in the art critique business.  First, my usual disclaimer:  I'm still learning; take what I say with a grain (or two) of salt.  In your case, you are way ahead of me (I looked at your port--great) but I can't stand to see any picture go unmolested.  Actually seems kind of lonely in a way not to get a comment on a picture you have gone to the trouble to post. 

All of that said, I love the b&w side and not crazy about the color side.  Only negative on the b&w is the arm shadow in the lower right detracts a bit.  Maybe would help if it were softened a bit.  Thats nitpicking though because I think its a great picture.   The color image suffers in comparison, the b&w is so strong.  On the color side, the face isn't lit enough so the image gets lost particularly as I said opposite such a strong image.

My least commented on pic

You have such a strong port that this one gets lost.  I don't think the cropping helps but its just not got the interest the rest of your pictures have.

i don't know why..
 

I don't know either but just not that exciting.  Might help if your head was turned a bit more to the camera.  Even though you are looking toward the camera you don't seem to make eye contact.  It also looks like the standard photo studio shot (and that is really the pot calling the kettle black-feel free to make disparaging comments about my port).  While I am being overly critical I also don't think the light showing on the left side helps.  It actually detracts attention from you.   If the picture were wider with you to the far right the light idea might work by pointing attention toward you.  Having said all of that you could model for me anyday.

heres mine, it's new, but only has 2 views and I love it, I kind of wanted to see what other people thought.

I'm going out on a limb on this one because I'm not sure how qualified I am to comment on this.  I like the picture overall and I think you (the model) have done a great job.  From the photography standpoint though I think the lighting is too harsh, particularly along your neck and chest.  I like this style lighting in b&w but in color it just doesn't do it for me.  Don't know it that helps.

Heres mine, well I have a few, but this is my fav and has a comment

Left portion of the picture is good and the right lighting for the mood.  The harsh lighting and glare from the right doesn't go with the image.  Kills the shot.  Looked at your port and you also have a somewhat similar picture next to it.

Black and white, not 18+, no chance...

I suspect artistic pictures of nude males don't get commented on as much.  I know I am guilty of that but I think this is the best of your portfolio.  Not just because its probably the least suggestive.  I think this one really shows some talent rather than just showing a good body.  Well done.

I'm taking this out of order but it just popped up and I have to take off. 

Wow, I'd kill for this one.  People must be blind.  Maybe its just that plain portraits don't garner the attention.  That's a shame because this one nails it.  Never even met Kizzy but I think I could!

This was one of my favorite pictures but I took it down becasue of lack of interest:

Hi BW,  You know I like your work but not crazy about this one.  I think the other version in your port is better.  It's the green hair in this one.  The color clashes with the rest of the picture and the selection on the hair doesn't look real (maybe needs to be feathered more).  Anyway, stick with the other version.

Hmmm...

I like this one but you have some real eye-catchers before it so I think it suffers by comparison.

In my printed book, it is the one that stops the turn of pages the longest.  Sometimes to an open-mouthed, stopped-in-mid-sentence effect.  Even more than this photo...

...which is only a few pages away in that same book but has the most views and comments on my profile here.

Jay, image #1 is MUCH MUCH MUCH better than image #2, regardless of what the peanut gallery here says.

That's cool, this pic is one of my favorites. Thomas outdid himself considering the fact that it was at least 105 degrees, all of my makeup had sweated off, and I was probably being a little bit whiney from not having any sleep the night before!

sorry I'm new to the site and havn't figured out quite how to paste pics here yet!!

Go to FAQs for help on posting pics.  I'd post this one for you but it is 18+ so you can only put up the link anyway.

As for the picture I think it has potential.  Great picture of you I think.  I find the ashtray distracting even with the smoke (which in some pictures could add interest).  So much so I missed your nipple the first time I looked at it.   That is saying a lot for a guy to miss it.  I would also like to see less PS on your face or sharpen the face a bit so it would standout some.  I'd crop the picture so it went a little further down your chest if possible and so you were a little lower in the picture as well.  Think rule of 3.

Usual disclaimer:  Take what I say with a grain or two of salt.  I'm still learning.  Just my thoughts.  Don't make book on it.

My avatar. It took a lot of time and pain to get that shot.

I like this one a lot.  From the model's standpoint I'd say it is great.  From a photographer's standpoint I'd cut down on the contrast some.  I see why you like it as your avatar.  Works well.
