Bloodstained Sheets In The Shape of Your Heart
-
I suppose ‘Fallen Angel’ might have been another title…
That’s a good pose, and an engaging picture, but there are some things which jar slightly, for me-You will, of course, have a different perspective, as the producer of the shot, rather than the viewer-
There is obviously a narrative here, but as a viewer, I’d question some things-
Is the heart really necessary, or is it gilding the lily?
And the little tv set-(if that’s what it is) same question-I suppose it could have been any object you chose to use-
it just seems a bit prosaic to me-The other thing is the choice of colours-
It seems to me that the film is straining to register the whites,
while retaining detail in the black fabric-I suppose it might have been possible to develop for this…
Still a good picture though, and good model too-

thanks for the critique…
the clock says 6.19, same time I took the pic,
the title is from a song with the lyrics:”6.19 and I know I’m ready,
Drive me off the mountain,
You’ll burn & I’ll eat your ashes’I think I over contrasted the pic allright, it was taken in pretty bright daylight coz we had the blinds open and i used ISO 800, should have maybe made it 400 or so….
I think what JB is saying r.e. the heart is more subjective than anything else. I happen to like it. For whatever reason I don’t know, it just seems to add to the image for me. It’s almost like your own personal signature Greg-always making it a little different than the norm (in this instance the clock and heart, in other cases, other objects!). Without it I reckon it could have been anyone else’s photograph!
And well, apart from that, you already know what I think of it from commenting elsewhere :) Nice work.
Her left foot catches my attention, it jars a little. I keep feeling ithat her toes should be extended rather than being tucked up against her other foot.
I know nothing about this type of image but I really like it… I agree with Pixelle about the feet.. the only thing that distracts me from an otherwise great image…!
