    Re: Rock face

    Wow, that's a very cool shot. Congrats! I like the centered composition in this instance and I really like the colors you've captured. It seems on a second glance that the stone face is a touch overexposed, but it's so slight I hardly think it matters.
    Nice work!

    Re: Rock face

    Thanks for the comment. I didn't think many would like this because it is kinda weird. On the other hand, how could you not find this image interesting?

    Thanks again!

    Nice shot, even though I never cared for this type of sculpture/portraiture (a little too figurative for me). The thing sure blends into the background, which is kinda neat..

    I don't much care for this type of thing either, and this almost looks like it is from a book, or some educational source.

    Re: Rock face

    I like the earthy tones and the unusual compositon, the face does look a tad too bright but otherwise good

    Re: Rock face

    It is a nice image, except I don't like how the white blob to the left of the face competes for attention.

    Re: Rock face

    I think the blob on the left should have been out of the pic, imho it kinda unbalances the center of the shot. But I don't really know jack anyways.

    This is a good example of a situation where the subject works better centered. I really like the tones and the textures. I wouldn't say that the face is overexposed although I guess that the brightness of the whole picture could be slightly turned down.

    I agree with the comments above, and defianetly like the centeredness. A great texture feel, and a nice, odd, subject!

    Well done,

    Re: Rock face

    thanks for all the comments.

    The "blob" is another rock. I left it in to purposely pull attention away from the face. The idea was to give a feeling of excavation.

    The decision has been made, and due to my musical background, this has been donated to a "unsigned" group, it will appear on their demo cover. I just hope they make it big!
