Red Riding Hood

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

From a shoot last weekend. I'd been toying with the idea for a few months now, finally managed to get everything together.

Great concept and design!

I feel that the model could look more dynamic; say like running with feet slightly blurred. [then again I can't even imagine to do a picture like this] :bowdown:

Perhaps the head turned slightly to the side but not upwards..

DId you do any other poses that we can have a look at?

This shot has really good lighting, great concept, i have looked at it a number of times, mainly since there is only one thing that is niggling me - keep in mind i am probably the least qualified in this dept but.. the pose makes her look short and slightly hunched over, this may also be due to the camera level, maybe a slightly lower POV might have made it better? thoughts? - Nonetheless it is great lighting and the path is perfectly placed and lit :up: :up:

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

Kevin
I love your set up and processing and your choice of colour in the dress. I think the models pose does not work very well and you need to get her to keep hamming it up in the hope of getting that magic expression. What you really need then is just a small amount of luck for a masterpiece!
