If you're still playing..... 

pass. the tones are nice, but it seems like too much background and not enough model in this one. I think that the expressiveness of your model is good in this image, but I don't get the concept fully from just seeing the model in the graveyard. what can you show me further in this image visually that will emote the story? please feel free to play again.

Thanks for looking.  The story is whatever you'd like it to be.

Some people get it.   Some don't.

pass. soft focus issues, bad lighting, composition needs work. try a longer exposure next round and some different framing. please feel free to play again.

and finally

pass. The concept is ok for portraiture, but the light on her face could be improved upon. Compositionally, this one is stronger than your other one too, but maybe try cropping in from right and left just a bit further to tighten up the piece. please feel free to play again.

yes, different post per image please.  

as for the image:

Listed! The one thing that saves this image in my opinion are the lines of the floor which add a nice weight/balance to the composition. The brick wall thing has been done a million times before, maybe try a different room or lighting with it next time.

Just as the subject mentions, would I list your black and white image?

This is just a game, nothing serious. Here are the rules:

-your image must be a black and white image
-all genres/styles are fair game
-the image you share must be currently in your port on MM

I will either list your image if I like it, or say pass if I don't. You are welcome to re-submit multiple images, but they must be a separate link per post.

who is game?

pass. the selective focus does not work well on this image. Generally in any composition your eyes should be able to move around in the space, and psychologically get drawn to the brightest part of the image. For me the arms feel really forced, and they trap the composition in this piece. please feel free to play again.

pass. not a fan of the lighting schema for this one. It gives you some area's that are blown out, where others are too dark. You also have some focus issues where for example her arm hairs are sharp, but you are using DOF somehow to make the rest of her soft. Is the focus supposed to be her arm hairs?  Try shooting around F4 to F8 next time which will give you several more feet of focus to get the entire figure sharp, and maybe play with different light. please feel free to play again.

pass. reminds me of an illustration of Ozzy Osbourn's Bark at the moon in a way, and not in a good way. It seems you might have some focus issues where the figure is not sharp to create the silhouette technically. The composition gets trapped also for me. Maybe try cropping the frame a little longer from top to bottom. please feel free to play again.

this one is not black and white. it is monochromatic sepia toned. but if I were to judge it I would say pass because the lighting/exposure feels off. Maybe bounce some light back in on the left size of the frame and try a slightly longer exposure next time. please feel free to play again.

pass. I actually like your pose and the lighting on this image, but it has focus issues and technical problems for whomever your photographer was which makes me cringe. Maybe try re-shooting though with someone that can wield a camera to put you tack sharp in the frame, and you're on to something there. please feel free to play again.

pass. slightly over exposed to blow out your skin tones in this image, and maybe a hint too much skin smoothing in post. Your pose works well for the composition though. I do know Andrew personally also, and he is a great guy. Maybe try another shoot with him to see if he can work his magic. He is usually spot on with his shooting and editing, and I am surprised to see an image from him where the tones are blown out honestly. Maybe this one just needs a re-edit? please feel free to play again.

Listed! the symmetrical play with lines of the arms in this image are great. It also goes along with the concept where the model is driving what appears to be a roadster thinking along the terms of graphic design principles for edgy techniques. kudos

Thank you for your comments.

How 'bout this one:

pass. the composition on this one seems too busy to me. there is a lot going on texture wise which I think detracts from the image even before I get into the issues of the photographers technical skills pulling the image into a blur (and not in a good way). The best part of the image is the smile. please feel free to play again.

please post one image per post for future ones.

but on to the images.

pass on both. I have to give you props for trying something different than just shooting girls on this site honestly. The first image with the guy standing outside is intriguing in the sense that it seems to tell a story. However, I think that the composition/lighting/processing isn't quite there yet honestly. The second image is ok, but maybe also play with composition a bit further. I am kind of curious what that guy would look like shot with a fisheye lines also. please feel free to play again.

pass. the image as a whole is too center weighted with the composition and pose I think. It has a few other technical issues for your photographer like the blown out tones in the hair/dress, but one thing I might suggest for you would be to play more with posing for future shoots. Something like practicing expressions in the mirror before shooting might be helpful also. Most often than not, the expression in particular sells an image. please feel free to play again.

Glad you enjoyed it  .  .  .  that ended up being the basis for an ad campaign, using the 50's European feel  .  .  .

pass. you are almost there with this image. The tonality, composition, and lighting is great, but your model is not selling the image for you. Kind of feels like she is going to go to sleep in this image for some reason. please feel free to play again.

pass. the expression on the models face is probably the only thing that works in this image. The angle it was shot at, the over sexual connotations of the pose..etc. don't work. It is about taking the mood of the expression, and putting it all together compositionally so that the entire image stands on its own. please feel free to play again.
