Oh no, run - Hoodi is experimenting again!

Three shots. No real comment.

#2

#3

The first is great. The 2nd is hmmmm outa focus or something and I don't quite think the 3rd works.

My favourite is the third

For some reason, I get more of an impact from it. I suppose number 1 looks two staged and number two just doesn't suit being black and white.

3rd is excellent, looks like the swing was moving and u got the timing perfect, even if it wasnt moving! well done!

is #2 a lomo effect Ir shot? Don't think it works too well sorry. Same with cykey, 3rd doesn't do much for me but the first one is good.

not lomo no - all shots are just natural light with boosted contrast in pp. I had to play with some branches before shooting #2 though.
It was also a nightmare to focus on #2 - no AF, no viewfinder, and it was constantly moving in the breeze. Fastest exposure I could get was 2 seconds, which didn't help. It's in focus, but not super sharp.

Anyhoo, cheers for your thoughts guys, appreciated

I like 1 and 3.

There is something about the background in 3 that appeals to me.

I actually like the 2nd one.

The first looks a tad contrived and the 3rd ... hmmm I dunno...

I think the first is pretty good, just need to set it up a bit better. If the model with face up, with a big pool of dark liquid seeping out of his chest and limbs at seemingly unnatural angles then it could be better

I'd agree, it's not bad, it just doesn't feel natural. Third for me
