This is my first critique. Firstly I don't believe I have the right to critique this photo as it stares at me with utter perfection and superiority.

This piece is so extremely artistic in it's most pure form, It is original and beautiful to a degree that I am not capable of expressing. If I could describe an emotion this photo makes me feel it would be called love of the burning nature.

I know my critique is odd but I don't believe a work such as this can be described through conventional and critical means as it is in my opinion: above perfection.

I'm still new to writing critiques (this will be my second) so please bear with me.

The drama in this image is incredible. It's most pronounced in the chain, but the high-contrast editing also plays a very significant role.

The vision I had to award this a full five stars. It's wonderful, and while I can't say for certain, I'd guess the result is very close to what you wanted.

I'll also offer a full five stars for originality as I've never seen this or anything like it before. I'm really liking the chain.

I can't fault anything at all with your technique. You've overexposed the right amount, and it's awesome.

I'm going to knock off half a point for impact, and that is because I would have liked to have seen a bit more emotion in the model. Eyes open a bit wider, something like that. It does take just a little away from the overall impact.

Well, hopefully my critique doesn't suck e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/>

Yes i'm sure it may have looked good too, but the chains were for added texture and originality :]

it's a beautiful picture but I'm feeling something is missing... something to do with her eyes and the expression.

EmilyCantera In reply to snowskin [2010-10-20 03:12:11 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, we realized later we should have got her to give more expression. I guess 20 minutes is just not enough time at all.

bwsrj2010 In reply to EmilyCantera [2011-08-01 14:54:53 +0000 UTC]

To each their own, but I disagree with the comment - it's precisely the eyes and lack of expression that blends perfectly with theme "Chained." The viewer of the image is left to interpret the meaning, whereas if the model had more of an expression on their face, the photograph determines the meaning for us. I hope that makes sense?? In any event, it's a great image.
