On forgiveness...

http://i.pbase.com/o4/46/667946/1/91426192.iZSqeHHI.CleanSlate.jpg

Bit of a rush job, came up with the idea a couple days ago but wanted to finish building my softbox first. ( If anyone is interested, I did a complete writeup about building my softbox here: http://photoinnovation.blogspot.com/)
Softbox, D50, 50mm1.8, remotely triggered.

Comments and critiques always welcome!

Jason,
A cool and very fitting image!
I thought of the "forgiveness" theme too, but couldn't think of a satisfying way to pull it off.
The hand coming down from the Top instead of the bottom is a great touch!
Good job.

Thank you Peter! This was a fun experiment with my new home-built softbox, "even lighting" is about the best compliment I could receive about this!

Jason,

The shot is a very cleaver way to portray your choice of subject. I agree with the comments above, the even lighting is perfect. There are no distractions in the lighting to draw your eye away from the subject. In addition I find the composition to be innovative. The hand and eraser entering the image form the top makes it a bit top heavy and IMHO works great! Good luck.

Indeed, without the help of God this will prove impossible. Even with His help it isn't always easy...

Thanks for stopping by Jouko!

I like the photo and the concept but I was even more intrigued by your homemade softbox. Both are very clever. Thea

Thank you Thea. I know a lot of us here on the WA board can't afford factory built lighting, yet have enough ingenuity to do without.

Nice concept with a very difficult WA, Jason! I like all the negative space. Would that all the bad stuff in the world could be removed as easily. Nice work!

All best wishes,

Endre
