yea, i really like the full body shot as well. it really feels like it moves, which is cool. and the first one, her hair looks so great... but as for the photography - i like how the way that she's holding her arms really moves your eyes around the frame

See, and it's the movement specifically that I don't like. Hee hee. Not that I’m against movement, it’s just that in this one I feel as though she’s going to fall over, which turns me off. Maybe I'm just being my own worst critique on this one?

You totally are. I really love the dancer-type movement in this one. It just FITS. The makeup, clothes, pose!

That said, I like the first one as well. Definitely the next of the headshots so far.

BEST of the headshots. I can't type today.

I think the movement goes with the mask..like she is a dancer.

Intersting since I wasn't going for that angle at all.

i like the fuller shot of the body. i think the photo is going in a direction but her pose is a bit awkward. i feel like the focus of the shot is her elbow. the pose plus the expression on her face appears to me as if she was punched in the stomach kind of. maybe not too hard because she doesn't look like she's in pain, just like something unexpected happened to her core? i can't explain myself quite right at the moment... it's just awkward. to reiterate, i do really like the fact that it's full body, if only the model was doing something a tad bit different.

Yeah, I'm really not all that thrilled with this shot either actually :D

bestshot seems to be falling into disrepair, so I doubt the moderator contacted you, but did you notice this?

Yes I did! I had logged in and it was the first thing on my friend's list. The mods haven't changed it on the info page. Has something happened that I missed since you mentioned it's "falling apart"?

[belimah]

Nothing specific has happened to it, except that it seems to me the maintainer isn't doing much to maintain the community. Understandable, as it's a pain in the butt to keep photo communities going strong.

Yes, very true indeed!
