    portrait

    Hey guys,

    I have been away for quite some time. Here is a recent piece of works. I am seeking for your opinions as usual!

    regards

    Re: portrait

    Neither one is doing much for me without some insight as to what you're going for with them. That said, I like the closer crop better. The expression is more emotive. The lighting looks great in both.

    To me it's comical. The large watch and watch on the shirt adds to the concept. Icould be a little bright on the forehead, but it could also be my monitor. Glad you are back.

    Re: portrait

    Seb, technically this looks very good. I like the lighting here. I also like the idea of the one portrait looking at the other with a ridiculous expression. I think though that the expression on the face of the portrait on the right should be playing into the others expression deeper. Right now, they both almost have the same attitude where I think it would play off better if the right portrait had a big cheesy smile or some dopey look to warrant the other to look at him in that way.
    I do still find this funny and really appreciate the set up you put together and came up with.
    glad to see you on. . . .

    Thanks a lot guys for sharing your thoughts.

    There is one thing bugging me now. How do you feel about the fact that one is larger than the other?

    Seb, the size difference does bother me. I feel it could work well with this way but i personally feel it would be stronger having both the same close crop.

    The size difference doesn't bother me at all. Nice lighting and great expressions by the model.
