Response to Second image post: same girl

from Luke Brnad (plumluke@tpg.com.au)
I believe this image lacks a striking point which draws attention, making you stop to have a better look (Duh !). This is a well exposed photo, of a beautiful girl, in good light..........but thats it. Know what I mean? This girl seems to be preoccupied with someone/something to her right, the chair being backwards and her arms being crossed are actual body language barriers which further disconnects herself from the viewer? Its sort of like you took a 'Subject unaware of being photographed type snapshot'(although that would be one hell of a good snapshot). I'm wondering why you like this photo and feel you may have a personal attachment to her or the way you shot it. Most people flicking through your folio won't know this and probably don't care. Don't get me wrong though, its a great shot !

The first image you posted of this girl (by mistake) is absolutely brillant! I love her pose, the hand in her hair, the slightly arched back - chest out, the way her legs are positioned and the eyes draw me right in. This image is very inviting. I still can't break the lock from her stare to comment on any technical faults ?! (black edge crap?,where?) Throw this image into your portfolio for a little test to see how people react.

Note: I find your talk in other posts/forums on lighting and techniques truely inspirational. If only my shots were have as good ! (just so you know where I'm coming from).
