A little different. What do you think?

Doesn't do much for me but I'm artistically challenged. How about replacing the blown out sections with color?

It's not working for me too :-(

How about putting some variety in the arrangement of the rectangles........they are too orderly..........give it a little movement.......more interest.

It's a great idea - saw a couple in last month's shutterbug mag like this with the sections at different angles and overlaps. Very cool. I would try it without the lines running through your eyes -- Maybe adding another section ???

Doesn't work for me, either.

I think it's because some of the lines (especially the vertical line) are not even visible because the pictures are blown and all white. If they were a slight gray or sepia, it might work better.

Best regards,

Actually, I love it! What a great idea. I like the suggestion about varying the size and rectangular shape of each box but I love the change in tone in each box. What about forming the boxes unsymmetrically, not attached? (does that make sense?)

agree totally, maybe, bigger sections, smaller sections, color, b/w, focus on eyes, something.

I like it - except for the line that goes through the top of your eyes. But, if you moved it it would through off the symmetyr of the rest of them.

Doesn't work for me either :cry:
Maybe a variety of sizes or some selective color in some area might work.

Well....I like it, its creative. The only thing I guess I would suggest is maybe a little more variety between each square.

Good Job!

[huminuh83]

oh!!! or what would be cool--but it might be hard to do--is take like 8 pictures from different days, but be in exactly the same pose, same place, but wearing different clothes. Then take a square from each day and put them together. You're hair would probably look a little different in each one, and so would the lighting and levels. I think that would mix it up a little.



Just a thought. What you think?

[Duradrum]

Wow, thanks for all the comments guys, much appreciated. I just wanted to try something different with this. Maybe I can move the lines around to make it look a little different.

humunuh83, great idea. I'm gonna give it a go, it's a challenge!
