Sure why not...

The bottle looks like a cross  between I dream of genie and a molotav (sp?) cocktail - I would lose the green, and make it more of an amber color... also dig how the wristband or bracelet of the guy appears on his wrist - disappears and then reappears again...maybe id lose her top... and get the guy to shave the pointy sideburns

Go for it...my avatar with the cheezy background.

the eyes look too funky, maybe thats how they really are... but eeh gads, rotate those bad boys so she doesn't look like close encounters of the third kind. As for thee cheesy background... It reminds me of something I would see if i took way too much acid and stared at a loaf of wonderbread and got vertigo as soon as i was done

Ok .

It looks like you wanted to show the strength of the model, yet her expression doesn't convey that - it's more of like are we done yet. I would like to see this model in an environment other then what looks to be a seamless... its ok, just doesn't grab ya

Aside for the tan lines and tattoos that dont really fit the photo, I still have issues with site compression but its my newest photo and I really like it would like an opinion/critique.  Thanks love your port!

In my opinion, out of all your shots, this had the most potential, you have an assignment from me to you, go back to this location... lay off the heavy vignette... and make sure its sharp this time ( if you want to give it an 1800s feel which i almost got from it ) clone tool her tats out this one conveys a mood, go back, revisit it

haha...YES, that is how her eyes REALLY are and that is EXACTLY how I feel about the background!  Bravo!

Me too please! My avatar

This pic reminds me of a shoot I did a few months ago, every few seconds, the models eyes would be bug eyed like in your avatar... I would chose a similar shot from this series but with less eye... close them for  alil bit, have the photographer tell a joke...its like chris tuckers in "Friday", right before he said " You just got Knocked the %&^% out! "

You are like me in your style, it seems you have a lot of different kinds... this isn't your strongest image... It could be made better if it was an ad for a local theater company with the right font of text of whatever play it was and stuff like that... It doesn't stand on its own  as an image, but in conjunction with text, it would be phenomenal, great portfolio by the way

Thank you very much!  This one was taken at my house so reshooting will be easy wife just got teeth pulled so it will be a couple days but I plan on shooting it again.  I'll let you know when I do it.  The original was just her stepping out of the shower in a towel and I was like "hey sit down for a sec and put your hands on the keys" took about 5 or 6 shots and that was the end result.  Funny how that works huh?

Yeah. Unfortunately for me, unless there's direct sunlight, my eyes are really really big. All the time. It's a little straining.

WHY NOT GO FOR IT

I am not happy with the crop... I wanna see more elbow and the top of her head, i know there arent any rules... but if i want to see an expressionless girl amongst balloons, i might as well see all of her... could be a novel idea with the balloons, maybe if you could backlight them, bump up the saturation or get  a model that actually looks like she breathes  - try fart noises, they work like a charm on any shoot

First, I'd save up $ and get the rest of the shirt  - secondly... your expression looks like you are going to do an impression of Jim Breuer's "Goatboy" with a different expression, and maybe some separation between your dark outfit, and already dark background It could work, in like an Avengers superhero kinda way

try closing them for  a few seconds and then opening them, or maybe hide it with a hand for a few shots so it doesnt draw as much attention, like the " i'm looking out over the veranda kinda thing "
