For The Tattoo Fans

[Red]

Really isn't my taste, but the model wanted a shot that showed it off, so is obviously proud of it.
It was early in the shoot and I wasn't sure about asking her to take her bra off, so I played safe. Later on she says "how about I take my bra off and we do one where...."!
Next time

Constructive criticism welcome

Nice, though the tattoo is least interesting for me.

Do you have more?

Best regards,

Personally, I love tattoos on women . . . I like the photo, but it seems a tad dark to me. Did you intend to do that? I would like to have seen it a little brighter. and yes, the photo would also be more powerful without the bra.

Look forward to seeing more of your work!

[cactusclay]

I like the pose.

[Dante King]

Yeah, too dark. Pose is good, bu the lighting detracts from the shot.

[goldstrikn]

I'll add my 2 pence here, you should have asked her to remove her bra. It would have been better IMO to appreciate the tatto art, more light would have helped as well.

[Red]

Thanks guys.
I must admit, I'm having a few probs with my monitor at the moment. Can't get the contrast right and am not sure if what I see is what everyone else sees. Will correct the image when I can

[Andy_T]

Post more images :D

Best regards,
Andy

Cool.

[skade]

I like it, but I do think it would look awesome without the bra!

[Dirty Shirt]

If a model offers to remove her bra you let her. Honestly it would have made a better shot.

[Michaelmjc]

Not really my taste either, but it's not a bad shot.

[elbirth]

I agree that it could be a bit lighter and without the bra to show the tatoo more. I'm not a huge fan of tatoos myself, but for some reason find the wing tatoos kind of interesting.

[sixshot]

So when do i come back to see the no bra shot?! A little dark, but nice pose and killer boots.

[Red]

It was late on in the shoot when she showed willingness to remove her bra and it would have been a lot of work to set up the shot again.
I will be working with this young lady again, so will try to re-shoot "sans bra".

[mr.photoguy]

I like it.
It's already been said, "better without the bra". I am not even going to beat that horse with a stick.
So I will probably just touch, that I find my eye wanders a bit, from her boots, to the chair.. Then to her but. It's like these things are stealing the attention from the tat.
I guess I would have like to see a lot more detail on the tat. also. I am pretty much a detail guy, so I like to see things close up. I would love to see a framed shot without the bra, in which the image encompases her mid upper portion of her but, to shot the detail in the lace panties, and then have her spine work as a leading element to draw your eye straight into the tatoo, she could lean forward a bit, and put on hand over her shouldner, and have her shoulder, and kneck in the frame to show off her sexiness, and her curves in her kneck. Then I can see all the detail in her tatoo, the curves in her back, The ohh soo feminine curves in her spine, and the prettiness of the lace panties that every man loves to see.

ok enough of my rant.
lol
I need to get into this type of stuff, I have one girl I can do it with, but she is so dang busy.

ohh I also like the slightly dim lighting...
gives off the romantic feel.
with more detail, and dim lighting, this becomes an errotic, and informative image.

p.s. bruce reads to much of his friends' victoria secret magazines.

I don't know if it is the compression or my monitor or what, but the whole pic looks unsharp, specially the face.
Apart from that, I like the pose and background. Agree on the superfluous bra and too low light.

lol... sorry..
I just tend to look at women anywhere, and let me imagination go wild ..lol...

Is the lighting on this better? It looks a lot lighter in PS, but when I got the Save As Web it gets a lot darker :confused:

[elbirth]

the lighting in the first version is more dramatic, but since you're empahsizing the tatoo, I think you edit works much better

[freddycr]

Don't do Save as WEb, as the compression is terrible...
Do image size 400 x 600 pix, then save as ...quality 7-8 (check that the image size is under 200 k)
Save as jpg format
Check the pic before posting, as sometimes they need re-sharpening

nice shoot

[Jaime]

I hate when one comes late to a thread and the picture in question has been removed. They might as well remove the thread altogether.

[txduggan]

Let's see....the thread is close to a year and a half old and you expect the image to still be around?

Hell...I've seen images here, Yahoo and Fred Miranda disappear within MINUTES of them being posted! LOL!

This is the Internet....its dynamic....adapt and overcome! :D

If the images are linked to a personal website, then I _really_ don't expect them to be around all that long. Why? People change websites and content constantly...

Maybe I'm stating the obvious, but then again, maybe I'm not....

The only permanent things, at least in my mind, are death and taxes! Woo!

Best,
