Congratulations to Dentx for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 11 votes - View Previous Winners

A little shoot I did with my best friend and the girls. The girls wanted some shots with these angel wings they got on Ebay. I wanted to try something different processing-wise. I'm not sure I like it, but we have to spread our wings, right? Hope everyone is having a great 4th.

Thanks Douglas, happy 4th to you too!!

Sunny, the first 5 are all natural light with a reflector. The last one, I used a single alien bee b1600 and a beauty dish. Thanks!

The first 5 were really nice, I was liking them alot, but then the 6th shot was like WOW, that's brilliant. Fantastic work all round.

I would say that the layer of processing in images 1-3 and 5 makes the images look flat, like a scanned photo, whereas 4 and 6 have a real depth to them that I like.

Wow! Really nice!

#2 is my favorite as the expressions are soft and natural and the eyes are serenely engaging the viewer. The others are great, but if I had to pick one, #2 would be it!

Thanks,
Bruce

#4 for me is my favorite. I love the lighting and the background coloring is very complimentary.

I will say though the editing, especially in 5, makes the imagine look flat. Otherwise, I really like the set, especially the B&W.

I have to agree with Aussie - love them all but that last image and the recent BW conversion are absolute killer! Thanks for sharing.

Love #4. Not sure about the processing in the first few, I'm distracted by the white dots.

The b&w is great too.

These are all good or better.

+/- on the faux scratch and dust treatment.

Beautiful scene with lovely young women, very well photographed.

Thank you. # 6 was lit with a single Alien Bee b1600 and a socked beauty dish. Here's another with slightly different processing:
