Description

breaking the rule of the third and going for a centered compo in order to get more focus on the figure

the best stories are told with baloons ;)
might seem a wee bit shaky at places because i used a 5 sec exposure because after about 15mins there was complete darkness outside :|

consider this a sort of valentine's day portrait ;) (dont worry, i have my match and i'm not a bummed up kid thats's all mad at everybody for not getting a date;))

nice valentine-shot
the central composition works very well here! the mood is great (litlle sad, but great!). love this shot, another masterpiece by Andreea :)

my only minor critic is the huge dark upper part, I probably would crop some of it.

nevertheless, a awesome shot! my top marks!

Actually Andreea, I find this to be a near perfect example of the use of the rule of thirds. Although the model may be centered ,the baloons are what pulls one into the composition.IMHO this is one of your finest works yet. I love the colors, composition and mood. Excellent work!!!

Dramatic lighting and composition work quite well together making a strong overall image. Details on each surface is readily visible, this helps in adding to the mood. Well done.

You surprise us with original concepts one after the other!
The sense of depth is very well captured here.

The ballons are an excellent addition!

Great shot and composition. Rules are ment to be broken, and this worked out just fine ;) I agree with monjo, the balloons distract the view from the center, and I think that's a good thing.
Where did you find a house like that anyway ? It looks deliciously creepy :p

Nice one! Would have only kept the floor darker and maybe turn the saturation down except for the balloons. Overall good shot and true....the balloons give it that extra-touch. ;)

i agree with John about the rule of thirds
actually you didnt really broke it, kos first thing we see are the baloons
anyway, i would crop a part from the top and move the camera a bit further in
other than that its well done :) +9

This is really a nice image, I seen it as you had it linked to your Yahoo chat account.. Well done, the law of thirds does not apply to this image..

Only Crit is the ceiling, if you had this image in RAW format I would try and pull some detail back into the roof and wood in the top section.
Fantastic image...

Exact, it's the verve... My god! Where do you find such as incerdible place?? Me here in canada, there no place like this... About your pic, it's simply the perferction! I mean the mix between the colorful/happy ballon and the colorless/sad environment... Great work, i'm your fan!

Ps: I agree with Tommyguns, the ballons are the touch!

Better late than never. Sigh. I'm so behind on comments/voting.
Anyway, really like this, Andreea. The mood, colours from the balloons, the pose, etc., all work together so well. Excellent work.
