alright, finally something to disagree with! I knew I could count on you, wayne!(posted 8601 days ago)Your statement "the only real difference between the first offering and the second is the subject" neglects the point of view, which is well below the eyes (and nose!) of the subject, and the second shot, which is slightly above the eyes. Also the light is much harder (see shadows on mouth and nose) and the overall tone is brighter with higher contrast. That the first models nose is tipped in bright light, makes it seem sort of protuberant and the shadow on her teeth brings dental hygene to mind. Most likely, none of these descriptions/attributes apply to the subject, but only to this photograph. The second image is much darker and lit much softer and intimately framed and contained by the scarf. It is soft and seductive while the first is hard and challenging. There is a huge difference in photographic treatment between these two images. Maybe I'm just not an objective observer... t
80 degrees, huh?
