Description

F2,8, 1/200sec., ISO 200; August 10th 2006. location: southern cemetery, leipzig, germany.
olympus c4000z (post processed in ps7 .... channel mixer and curve adjustments to gain the old film look)

foto shooting near a demoscene project's set. friends were working on a wild demo entry for evoke 2006 (www.evoke2006.net --> short film will be downloadable in a few days) ... i just happend to be around, carry their eqipment, make some light/setting suggestions ... and well ... some photos, too.

my friend katharina here portraits the old amiga game character 'elvira' - made the costume herself. by the way: she's not just pretty face - she will graduating in physics next year and draws pretty well, too!

I love the "blue:ich" color of the leaves. Gives a very nice mood!
Well done!

The model is both gorgeous and has a very sensual appearance!
Her facial express is really good! (thumbup)

The entire composition from the natural framing of the branches to your friend and her pose is all very well planned and executed!

I will leave to somebody else to make a comment on her top... :p

Top marks from me! +10

should that one be me ?
or her hair is discoloured in reality, or is due to post processing.
anyway looks a bit white-yellow on my monitor. the same thing on her right side.
you have some areas that look overexposed.
the blue color of the leaves works perfectly, indeed and she looks lovely.

I basically agree with moser and I'll add: the outfit she's wearing is very nice
and accentuates her decolté in a charming way.
I like this shot.

*LOL*
you are REALLY diplomatic.
i've known kathi since elementary school, i'm female and 100% heterosexual but i had *REAL* TROUBLE KEEPING MY EYES FOCUSED ON HER FACE.

oh, the sacrifices you have to make to stay in character ... REFERENCE: http://perso.orange.fr/dazeland/Elvira-2.png

@  FAV: the strange colouring of her hair is due to post-processing. i still like that faded look.

Patrick said it all, and said it very well, I might add. Brilliant execution! I'm so glad to see some more of your amazing works.
BTW, nothing wrong with the photo, but you do have some odd pixelization happening on the stroke for the box containing the email address.

Now this is a case when overexposure (even though it's probably 'emulated') actually does a good job and the colour combination works well here :)

Anyway, I think most look at her boobs, then in her eyes and then there's the rest of the photo ;)

The contrast of the blue and white leaves against her dark clothing is quite dramitic and eye catching. Her pose with gaze off fame adds a nice curiousity to the scene. Her right shoulder has some redish color, seems to be a artifact of the post processing. The changing of hue was a good idea, however the ground became so white that it blends in with the leaves, branches, and sky.

Very surreal...

I remember 'Elivra' from the 80s....she wasn't just a game character...she even had her own movie 8o

Pretty amazing you were able to take 2 elements so vastly different (vampiric character and spring settings) and combine them in a scene seamlessly. I'm not used to seeing portaits from you...(thumbup)

thanks for the input, brett. i darkly remember seeing her character before (TV?) ... the photo doesn't show elvira, but rather my friend dressing as elvira ... it was shot during some test filming. there is no concept behind it this, just capturing the moment.

i got a more "suitable" portait of her in the elvira character to post soon...
