I'm not going to comment on the sillyness above because it seems to be detracting from the point of the post in the first place. If you see a silly comment, please ignore it rather than making it take up the whole thread of a nice picture. If you want to tell the person to say something constructive try it via private email first because it just becomes a pissing contest if you don't.(posted 8590 days ago)NOW FOR SOMETHING RELEVANT:
I'd like to say it is a romantic image, but that does not quite fit. Aftermath as a title has a negative tone which also does not quite fit. The pillows and the bed would have made an excellent still life by themselves with that sunlight(just a side note).
I tend to like the image but end up wanting more, more of what I have no idea exactly. More of a sense of texture from her, not more detail but just more. Perhaps just a bit more light wrapping around the left side of the sihoutte, something that makes that left side less dead. Perhaps even a slightly different pose, maybe a more intense sense of collapse, such as her head buried in her hands etc. I'm not trying to change your picture into something of my minds eye but just wondering if you had an image of just her hand layed out along the texture of the rumpled sheets or just her legs towards the window at a 45 degree angle, you would still have the nice lead in you have now but it might be a different feeling. You don't need to really include her to include her, if you get the idea.
Either way I like the image and I personally think if you have some more frames it would make an really nice tryptch. Images like this seem to demand a tryptch from my personal internal photo demon. I really see a nice series in this if you keep experimenting with it. A nice series of 10 strong images would really take this photo to another level. A lot of people seem to stop at that one nice image and not move on to a series or really explore that part of photography which moved them. I really think this could be a jump point for you in your photography if you just ran with it for a while to see what magic would reveal itself.
Thanks for sharing tom the image I enjoyed it, I think you really got something here, run with it and break a couple more rules, you can always edit later.
