SOOOOO pretty! works well as a seris with the male version also! I love your strong use of thirds! Make such powerful imagery, lovely job on scene construction also!
Be proud xx

Thanks so much!...but what is "thirds"... I feel so...unknowledgeable T__T

your8thandfinalsin In reply to sophiaazhou [2007-03-10 12:58:43 +0000 UTC]

aww basically its to do with composition! When you look at an image you can break it down into three parts, as a phtoographer you uncontiously do it! So the three parts in this image are, the peacock feathers at the bottom, your face in the middle, and the hair at the top! the peacock feathers and hair frames the face nicely and draws alot of attention to the eyes! thus making a really visually efeective image!
Using thirds is the best way to create an image, as it also helps with effective depth of feild!
hope that helps?x

You have an amazing talent for designing make-up. I envy you. I can barely put it on. ><

..really?..huh..I didn't know the make up was that good; I was trying to go for a kinda plain design 'cause the female peacocks aren't as flauntful (that's not a word ) as the males ^w^;; I used to really suck at it-- I used to poke myself in the eyes
