Love is the movement

Wow, this is seriously amazing. It took me a couple seconds to realize it was a hand though, so I personally might've shown the spaces between the finders in it. Still, I love the heart and the saying and basically everything about this picture. You obviously have an artistic eye for setting up a shot, and this work definitely deserves the star I gave it. Besides my showing more fingers suggestion though, I really don't have anything critque-wise to say. Nicely done

Thanks for the comments!

W-W-Wow! Great job...maybe a little grainy photo quality, but otherwise very good.
What camera do you use?
Great work.

On this piece I used a Kodak digital camera and I strongly recommend to steer away from Kodak. I find that most of the pictures I take have an awful quality and I have to take several just to get one good one. I would go with Cannon if you are looking to purchase a new one.

Wow. It's amazing you took these with those Kodak digitals. Haha, I've been recommended lots--Nikon, Olympus, Cannon. The choices!

These are amazing. ^^ I like the angle in the first one better. I don't like how in both of them, you can see the fingers on the other hand. I find that it detracts from the photos. Both of them are a bit grainy, so maybe adjusts the focus? But you mentioned that you have a Kodak, and from my experience, those don't focus so well... Maybe there's a way to edit the graininess out? I'm rambling now...

Actually, those are the fingers from the same hand. I was trying to make it look like I was holding onto it, but subtly. And yes, I know about the graininess. My camera sucks and it's hard to edit that. But thank you for your comments! They are greatly appreciated!

Wow, I'm really impressed!
These are amazingly good.
Out of the two I prefer the first one simply because of the angle.
The only thing that I think might make it look better is if it were a bit darker maybe?
Like the second one?
But that's just me.

Great work, I'd love to see more.

I'm with everyone else, I do prefer the first one. But your concepts and angles are simply amazing. I think I've seen the rest of the photos that you've put up here and you really do have a talent!
One thing I would say is that the idea of having the hand holding the heart is really good. However, that isn't showing up so clearly in the photo and the fingers which are really dark kind of take away from the overall photo. It's more noticeable on the second photo, but even on the first photo the fingers are too dark to really add to the effect.

But wow! *stars*

EDIT: Oh my gosh! My hundredth review. On a really awesome thing! *feels cool*

Thank you all for the wonderful comments! I will take them all into consideration on my next piece!

Ooh very artistic! I like the angle on the 1st one better by the way. It's a powerful statement and pretty neclace! I want it lol. I guess the only thing I might wanna say is i think it would look better without your fingers holding onto it. It's a nice idea but the lighting makes it confusing. By the way, I kinda like the graininess, at least on the first one.
Good job ;D

Hey there,

What can I say? I'm genuinely impressed with this. It's a really cool shot, gorgeous colorization and such forth going here. Really pretty to look at.

The fingers are a little too dark to be appreciated. They're too under exposed, so as opposed to being recognizable, they're a bit of a distracting blotch in the shot. Not entirely bad, but it's just okay.

And, Kodak does have some good cameras. Don't buy refurbished; new is better, and the C series has problems. I'd recommend staying away from those and going for something with more megapixels, because those tend to result in grainy shots unless you shoot in bright light.

Best of luck,

Hi! I have never reviewed photography before, and I really don't know much about it, but I thought these were really good! I can only say this out of a simpleton point of view, though. I liked the second one better because the colors were warmer. I thought that the fingers in the picture were indeed distracting from the picture itself. Because of the nail polish it took me a while to understand what they were. I liked it in the first picture, it really fits in, but the in the second picture [my favorite] I thought it didn't quite fit. It took me a minute to understand that it was a hand, too I really liked that twist. I liked the angle better, too. The shadows came out really good at the edges of the palm. I actually thought that the graininess was on purpose - it gave the picture a certain edge it wouldn't have if it was smooth. I like it this way. What kind of photoshop do you use? Do you even use photoshop?
Awesome pictures.

Amazing! I don't think the pictures are grainy at all... the picture quality is really pristine, if you ask me. And I love the shots... so poignant and creative! Tugs the heart strings, it does...
Also, it reminds of me of two of my favorite songs... was that intentional?
("Love is the movement" by Switchfoot, and "All you need is love" by the Beatles)

Thanx for the awesomeness!
