Epic Smile

Edited!

This is a really good picture! I wish I was as good at photography as you! The only thing that I found wrong was the name. It seems a little bit immature to call it "Epic Smile". Other than that, good job!

That is really cool! the only problem is it's blurry. But i think thats what i like most about it is it's blurryness it gives it a touch of unuiqness.
Anyway cool picture!

It's blurry to emphasize the smiling thing there. Hehe, I really like this. Your color choice though, Sepia, that doesn't seem very appropriate for this.. B&W maybe? Or full color? But Sepia feels out of place to me..

It's supposed to be that way: Focal blur or something like that. The smile is clear, but everything else is hazy.

Dear Sassykat,

I liked it a lot. It seems as though you are very good at Photography. Other than the name, I think that it looks pretty cool! Where did you get the smiley? It looks like one of those soft small balls. That are usually used for key chains or something of that kind. I never manage to find those things . . . .

Anyways, is it just me or is that smile a little creepy if you look at it for a long time?

How did you manage to give your photo that faded effect? I am asking because it looks pretty awesome to me.I wonder what you did. Did you use Photoshop or Picnik? I am not very familiar in using both, so I have absolutely no idea . . .

Anyways, that was some good photography! I hope you do more! It seems that you are an old YWSer. Perhaps I should check your Portfolio to see if you have done any more (trust me, I haven't) . . .

Argh! Now I am just rambling. Anyways . . . .

Regards,
Nova

Ok so here is what I thought. Forgive me if it sounds a bit odd but here it goes... The rest of the photo is kinda blurred, putting an emphasis on the smiley face in the middle. It kind of gave me the impression that the girl in the picture lives in a crazy world but can't show that it is making her lose her mind or whatever and so she puts on her mask, a smile, a fake smile and that is what the "epic smile" is ... haha!

Hey Sassy

I like this photo. It's a good portrait whilst managing to be imaginative.

I don't mind the blur I think it works and makes the smiley face stand out more, which is probably what you want. My only problem is how much it's overexposed. I assume you probably enhanced this in some sort of picture editing software but I think you might have gone a little overboard. Mainly around the hands, I think they are just a little bit too bright and so negate the use of the blur to enhance the smiley face because my eye is immediately drawn to her hands because they are so bright. Plus it kind of makes the hands blur into the smiley face. So I would just suggest being careful when playing with photos in editing software.

I also think this might have been nice in colour or you could've maybe picked out the smiley face separately in your editing. So made it a bit more yellow to make it stand out more.

Other than that though I liked this!

Keep up the good work!
