Thanks Paul. My opinion and experience is appreciated. The modell told me he _really_ liked the first one. Maybe you have put words on why?
Let me explain why I explore these odd angles, to see if I can make them work. I am looking for something different. There is so many portraiters doing the same thing, using the same aesthetic. I want to do something that makes me a slightly different portraitist. I think I must be different to differentiate myself from the comptetition. I do find errors in what I've done here, but I think I should keep looking for a while. -- MaritimTim http://maritimtim.blogspot.com/ 2011/3/24 Paul Stenquist <[email protected]>: > I had looked only at the first.
