James Markus Online Image Upload: Off #293: Retro Style I still like the first one, but will bow to the community opinion. Thanks for the comments! This one I imaged from the raw file...which should fix any color issues, and I cropped in a manner to eliminate the ribbon. Edited by 1_of_9 on May 04, 2008 at 06:51 PM GMT May 04, 2008 at 04:15 AM

Yakim Peled Offline Image Upload: On #293: Retro Style Very good pic but that scarf(?) which hides part of her right shoulder is very disturbing. Happy shooting, Yakim. May 04, 2008 at 12:22 PM

James Markus Online Image Upload: Off #293: Retro Style Yakim, That is a ribbon that hangs off the hat. Both the hat and dress are from the 1940's. They belonged to my mother. May 04, 2008 at 01:05 PM

Yakim Peled Offline Image Upload: On #293: Retro Style All I can say is that as the ribbon and the background are in the exact same colour, it may disturb some. Happy shooting, Yakim. May 04, 2008 at 01:09 PM

Hightraxx Offline Image Upload: Off #293: Retro Style Well done, I only have one thing that bothers me is the color to the side of her face. Norm May 04, 2008 at 01:25 PM

nlamendo Offline Image Upload: Off #293: Retro Style Wow, what a shot. Very nice. The lighting is perfect. Great work! -Nick May 04, 2008 at 05:30 PM

Yakim Peled Offline Image Upload: On #293: Retro Style Now you're talking. This is much better IMHO. Happy shooting, Yakim. May 04, 2008 at 08:26 PM

James Markus Online Image Upload: Off #293: Retro Style Yakim, I'm really confused now. I haven't changed anything...no edits...nothing. I assumed your monitor was showing the ribbon and background as the "same color", because you monitor isn't calibrated. On mine, there has always been a difference in luminosity between the two shades of dark gray/black. May 04, 2008 at 08:35 PM

MaximusW Offline Image Upload: On #293: Retro Style I think its the ribbon and the fact the right arm is cut off and the left is so prominent. On first view I actually thought the ribbon was her right hand with another glove on.. Lighting is perfect though, was this a studio shot? May 04, 2008 at 09:04 PM

y2keg Offline Image Upload: Off #293: Retro Style I like the look you're going for. The lipstick and the mole on her check are nice. May 04, 2008 at 09:25 PM

James Markus Online Image Upload: Off #293: Retro Style The image has been re-done...C&C welcomed. May 04, 2008 at 11:52 PM

Flibble Offline Image Upload: On #293: Retro Style Love it. Can I spy a slight "off black" top right of the hat? Finalist? May 05, 2008 at 12:00 AM

FJR1 Offline Image Upload: On #293: Retro Style Jim--I honestly preferred you first submission, but your photos are always top-notch, no matter what you post. Well done.--Frank May 05, 2008 at 12:58 AM

Tamara Lambert Offline Image Upload: On #293: Retro Style Didn't see the first one, but I love the look of the fair skin against the rich clothing. Is that lighting, or a 40's styled cosmetic application? The red lipstick is the perfect accent. May 05, 2008 at 06:58 AM

On mine, there has always been a difference in luminosity between the two shades of dark gray/black. Now I am confused. I looked at it yesterday morning (at work), hat and ribbon are almost invisible. I looked at it yesterday evening (at home), hat and ribbon are clearly visible and very different from the background. I looked at it today's morning (at work), hat and ribbon are clearly visible and very different from the background. Happy shooting, Yakim. May 05, 2008 at 07:28 AM

Yakim Peled Offline Image Upload: On #293: Retro Style It's evening. I'm at home. Hat and ribbon are clearly visible and very different from the background. I don't understand it but I don't care. It's stil a lovely pic. A finalist IMHO. Happy shooting, Yakim. May 05, 2008 at 07:51 PM

Beverly Guhl Offline Image Upload: Off #293: Retro Style Lovely, Jim. Nice work. May 05, 2008 at 09:47 PM

Klaus Priebe Offline Image Upload: On #293: Retro Style I like it. Nicely done. May 05, 2008 at 10:54 PM

zcaley Offline Image Upload: On #293: Retro Style Love the drama of the colors the pale skin and the red lips, and that touch of mystery added by the hat hiding the eyes! May 06, 2008 at 01:45 AM

ruuskan Offline Image Upload: On #293: Retro Style I like this contrasty, bright color look a lot! May 06, 2008 at 02:57 PM

Steven Roberts Offline Image Upload: Off #293: Retro Style I was going to attempt a retro fashion skit, but couldn't pull it off, not to mention, you did so extremely well with this take. Very nice. Love how the Red and Greens are so powerful along with the solid black neutralizing it all. Nice. My only thing would be, I wish her necklace was straight..lol. Steve R: May 06, 2008 at 09:54 PM
