Bill Livingston Posted September 15, 2015 Share #2 Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Exceptional and highly memorable. Very well designed, thought through, composed and executed... a disturbing yet contradictory image. I love the ambiguity. A perfect photograph.

maxofrome Posted September 16, 2015 Share #5 Posted September 16, 2015 I love the concept behind the shot and the way you use the background. Really interesting. If I can just make a remarks, being a sort of fashion shot I do not get crazy about the bottom of the shoes visible to the viewer. I do not know if with shoes the concept of "doll" can be better given. But is just IMHO 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about the bottom of the shoes, but changing that would imply either a less symmetrical pose (legs to the side) or a more 'active' pose with feet down. Any suggestions are more than welcome! I appreciate any comments and suggestions. Edited September 16, 2015 by platel Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XVarior Posted September 17, 2015 Share #7 Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) beautiful, Judging the picture from a stylistic point of view "fashion for example" shoes becomes a major SIN :-) but here, the bottom of the shoes adds to the abandoned mood, this is an abandoned pause in an abandoned building. What distracted me a bit is hands gesture. Excellent shot anyways. PS: I can't take this 35mm FLE off my m9. Love it.

Bateleur Posted September 19, 2015 Share #9 Posted September 19, 2015 I would not change anything, to me the hands reveal despair, the feet are show loss and the eyes complete the helplessness. Just my thoughts. Regards Charles 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyalf Posted October 6, 2015 Share #11 Posted October 6, 2015 Wow. Imo a remarkable photo. Great composition, IQ and double meaning in content from title. Please feel free to share how this was done. Planned or in-the-moment? Model consent? Etc. Thanks for sharing! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_parker Posted October 6, 2015 Share #12 Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) A fascinating composition, which tells many stories. The setting adds to the originality of the image and piques the interest. Details like the reflection of the windows in the tiles for me add more stories to the image. I like the colour palette too, which is enhanced by the 70's looking clothes. The pose is disturbing in all the right ways, with the doll like makeup and hand pose adding to the many possibilities and stories. I'm ok about the soles of the feet, as for me this unusual aspect adds to the sense of resigned or maybe exhausted collapse of the figure.

Thanks, the picture was taken in Waterschei in Genk, Belgium, in an old mining building that is open for photographers. We went there with a group of photographers to shoot these models that were made up by stylists to look like dolls. I didn't like the theme that much but I really liked the location.
