Alice in Wonderland

I don't know if these are any good. But they were fun to take and I would LOVE comments critiques or possible improvements if you are willing. And with out further delay, the pictures.

I do think that these are quite good; the last one stands out especially to me. I would try to make the other two "pop" more or have some "magical" quality to them. Maybe play with colors/contrast a bit. Sorry, short review, but I'm off to bed.
Great job!

Hey there!
Wow, these are an unusual concept, which is always good!
My favourite is the first one. I love it! But I'm sure if you play around with the contrast, and a tiiiiiiny bit of saturation, it'll look even better! Shame the background wasn't a little more out of focus though, a little bokeh could have really made it.
The second one is good too, but it's a shame her feet were slightly cut off. Again, maybe play around with the contrast, saturation, blacks etc.
The third one is really cool! It's got a nice DOF

hope this review helped a little

This are okay. They aren't the best. I don't like the second picture!

Hey Tabitha! Good work again!
QUick comments now.

1. Good idea. Maybe we could have a wee bit more of the background. Also, try working with a few levels. Your subject looks a little forced and maybe some tweaks would help cover that.
2. This is really good. No nitpicks.
3. I agree, that this would be a great idea (and great shoes, btw!) but the thing is, the way it's taken, angle and all, the feet look unnaturally positioned. It's like half-landing/half-inserted into the photo-ish. I think it would be better if the subject was asked to walk/skip and you had taken a multiple shots and picked one. I dunno, but these feet look weird. Still, the contrast is very good.

Thanks for every one for the comments and critiques. There were all really great suggestions and I think I am off to try them now. Thanks again, I love getting feed back!

Thanks but would you mind telling me why. And I know they are not the best since there are tons of people out there with better camera, more experience and actual models. Thanks.

Nice. These are gorgeous. I like the first and third ones best. The first one would look even cooler if you played with saturation, contrast, etc... and I think a blurred edge would look fantastic, unless you're not really the photo editing type. It looks good the way it is, as well. The feet in the third one kind of look pasted in, but I think that's cool. It's very unique and magical-looking. For some reason it reminds me of a collage or something.

Hello Tabithalillian,

I have to say I really like these pictures you have have chosen an excellent creative theme and I liked all the scenery you placed neatly in the background, it was a very effective way to back up all your pictures. I also like the simple colour range and how you didn't make the picture at all unrealistic. My favourite one was the one with the shoes in midair because I understand it would be incredibly hard to get the timing right on that one without getting it blurry and unproffesional- like those photos that make you go cross eyed.

I hate to repeat what a few other people have said but I do agree with them, these could have been better if you had fiddled around with the settings and used photo editing/enhancing sites to make the photo even better. I think perhaps darkening or blurring the edges would have made the colours in the photo stand out even more and make the photo even better than it already is. Again the saturation and colours would have been neat if they were changed around a little bit.

Also, you need to work on how you position the model in some of these. It just looks a little awkward how the model is sitting and it distracts you from the amazing expression on the girls face and the really fantastic and magical forest that is around the whole photo and I just can't enjoy the amazing, quality photo that you have taken.

I epecially love the last one!

Wow, I really like these. They make me smile.
Its really playful and the lighting and forest is used to your advantage. Also the cheeky facial expressions make me giggle.
The idea is really good and I like how you used the rabbit toy
Its really good, you have a talent.
Well done!

#1 is cute. I think that it would be intresting to play wiht the focus a bit more and soften up the background. then again it may be interesting the other way. I wonder if you took any other shots in this position, and how the focus was? I alsothink that the colors should pop more. Alice in Wonderland is a kind of psychadelic, huge color, type of theme. Dull colors do not fit it well.

#2. i am not that much of a fan of. The positioning of the model seems awkward. And I think there should be more movement to it. Possibly like a running and looking back. So that half the body is swiveled towards the camera.

#3 I love! It comes back to focus and I love photos like this. The movement is great.

Hi there! I liked these photos a lot! The concept is a neat one, and the expressions are excellent. It's hard to pick a favorite.

Alice in Wonderland is my absolute favorite movie and book. Like, I have a copy of the book under my bed and an old VHS of it on top of my TV. I think the first one you have is really nice. It shows Alice all bored out of her mind because of her sister. To me anyway...
I liked the second with her/you (I'm guessing) is walking through the forest. And the last one I don't quite understand but I still like it.
