Fresh From the Shower

First I didn’t have much to think of this picture, but it has a natural appeal. The lighting makes it painting-like, and it’s an unusual pose with the towel and robe. The contrast of the blue robe and warm background and face is interesting, too.
Is that blurry thing just right from her mouth in the background her hair or a blotch on my monitor?
Hair. I left it in to give an air of casual disarray!
Thanks for your comments.
Pete don’t hate me for this but I think the picture is for the bin. I’m not willing to blow hot air up your ass for the sake of being nice. For that matter I’m not intentionally mean either.
Women globally spend billions on cosmetics to enhance their looks. Do you think you’ve done that here? Have you captured her looking fabalicious? Is her expression a story telling look? Her hair, jewelry, composure, where’s it at?
It’s a clear sharp shot. Ok. Any P+S will do that for you.
Has she (I don’t know her name) seen the photo? What is/was her reaction? “Oh my god, delete that!”?Would you send this photo into a glossy magazine and hope for it to be printed? Would you make it a 4foot canvas and hang it on your wall with pride?
She looks uncomfortable and just about to talk which knocks her jaw offside/jolted. It looks like you caught her at a bad time. Personally I’d have left it out or else got her into it depending on the vibe.
Sorry for being harsh but there are millions of pointless shots taken coz it’s free. Go back and allow her to fix herself/hair etc. Compose the shot, settle and the shoot. Look through the lens like it’s a printed finished copy, look about and into the corners, is all ready for printing before you push the button?
This isn’t a slant opinion of the woman by no means, I say this coz I think she’s close to you, it’s just my observation of the shot. I don’t think you did her any favours.
If your going for au-natural and all that well then I can’t be arsed. I want her to feel and be delighted when you hand her a print.
Consider it in good faith. Would you make a 4foot print of this and hang it on your wall? Would you be pleased with the result?
thats my 2cents and I’ll suddup now.

PS…my thanks to Noisyboy (the chap who got a very sore touch for being blunt about Rob’s missus) who helped me with this C&C.
PPS…It’s not nice to get C & C like this is it?
Brilliant! I literally laughed out loud.
Reading it again I reckon the worst thing about it is, “I think the picture is for the bin”.
The comments about prep are all valid in their own context. I hope Noisesome comes
and makes his own remarks.I take your point Seoirse, but I still can’t see how the comments insult the subject of
the photograph.Pete,
Glad you got a bit of a laugh out of it. :D
I reckon neither you or Noisyboy will ever get elected to Brussels though.
Anyway, good to see you back from that cave.
You didn’t see a big long stringbean from Enniscorthy in the same cave
by any chance?
Just asking. :?:
Very good. I literally laughed out loud too…
Good to see Maria is still allowing you to take her picture now
and then. I think perhaps this might have done with a hairlight,
even if it was just to illuminate the towel a little more…Nice picture Pete…
