Jun 14 12 05:41 am Link Not well. Jun 14 12 05:47 am Link Not a fan i'm sorry to say. Your portfolio is full of creativity and class and this just doesn't measure up for me. Jun 14 12 05:53 am Link You have some quality images in your portfolio, this is not among them. Jun 14 12 06:07 am Link I fel like the body paint deserves better. Overall it's being controversial just for the sake of it? Jun 14 12 06:13 am Link Jeffrey M Fletcher wrote: Like a slap in the face with a wet fish.

But.... you needed to have the hands and feet pinned to the model's flesh (shopped not literally of course) with the droplets of blood coming from her skin. How could you have missed that? My faith is wavering (see what I did there?). Jun 14 12 07:57 am Link Geoff Jones wrote: Lmao Jun 14 12 07:59 am Link im not sure i understand it, the god the hulk? Jun 14 12 08:04 am Link Are you looking to take over for Warren? I don't like it. It feels like you're trying to say something, but I have no idea what it is. Jun 14 12 08:12 am Link Is it something from Jersey Shore? Jun 14 12 08:12 am Link Perhaps it's an odd color test Jun 14 12 08:13 am Link based on your profile, your portfolio, the definition of "art", and the fact that I have done controversial religious themes many times [as a photographer and as a galleried multimedia artist], no shakes here. I still have not gotten over that work from years ago, "Piss Christ". It pretty much supersedes most controversial religious art I have seen. I do have one note: the white might have been better on Jesus left. Historically, the right hand means life in religious symbolism. But at his crucifixion, it was the thief on his left that found forgiveness and salvation. the thief on the right most likely dropped off into the abyss [black]. depends on how you want to play the color significance.white=purity, blue= heaven, brass= judgement, silver= redemption, red= sacrifice, purple= royalty, yada yada yada when it comes to Judaism color themes.

I'm all for controversial pics (especially if they piss off the Church!) but it's just a bad photo and detracts from the quality.

Jun 14 12 08:31 am Link this is part of my comment on the image in the OP's portfolio. "note: everyone knows that Jesus was "special forces", not regular army. in literature, the breasts are the sustenance of life, while the loins are the source of life. Christ's body, in this image, mark both of those sources. fundamental Christians see Jesus as both of these ideals, through his life and death and resurrection. so..............????" I can do this observation, signs and symbols thing all day long, every day. ultimately, art is meant to invoke an emotion, a response. under that definition, the image is "art". if it is not your cup of tea, NEXT! best wishes! Jun 14 12 08:37 am Link My first impression is that you could have used the energy in almost any other way... just a waste of time. Jun 14 12 08:38 am Link Warren's shoes are hard to fill But as he had many misses...so, IMO is this one. Jun 14 12 08:51 am Link Now I have to know who Warren is. Jun 14 12 08:52 am Link Why isn't there a little Jesus on the cross that Jesus is wearing? Timeshift? Jun 14 12 08:56 am Link "piss-Christ" was better Jun 14 12 08:59 am Link Not well, its a bit forced Jun 14 12 09:05 am Link It's tacky compared to the rest of your work.

Hi Folks, Let's respect the OP and stay on topic. No need to discuss other members in this thread. Thanks. Jun 14 12 09:22 am Link DevilMayCare Photo wrote: Nope Jun 14 12 09:23 am Link The image to me is weak. I like the contrast of textures and components, but the lighting is flat and the model isn't projecting tension, she's kind of just standing there. It would be improved if she were standing on her toes, so she had to fight a bit for balance. It would bring more energy. The idea is sound, but for me it needs more dynamic posing, more directional lighting and a tighter crop. Jun 14 12 09:23 am Link MKPhoto wrote: Do not mention Warren, Barbie and Ken are watching!
