Ahaha, I see why it won so many awards! < 3

The white/black is a really nice effect, especially for this one because to me, I kind of interpret a type of concept that fits well with it. And I love photographs with concepts -to me, those are the best.

and well deserved prizes. this is such a wonderful peice. the lighting outside the screen makes which is glowing on to her makes this wonderfully drreamlike. almost as though the screen isn't so much a metal screen but more a TV screen where the pixels are gigantic and tube is casting it's light on the model. focus is astounding and show a real mastery of DOF. great shot +fav...

Error 99 is a electrical contact error, usually with the lens contacts! Good luck!

earfight [2005-02-03 05:23:38 +0000 UTC]

The high contrast near the cenetr of attention is a grate tool to use. Definatley gets the people to focus on the subject. The top view is a very smart idea giving a more sorrowed feel towards why she is there and trapped. Overall a nice composition colabarated really well!

Your killer angles back in action

The perspectove definitely makes the shot as it adopts her own view, so we get to feel the intensity of heinght that she is experiencing.

The beauty of your sister is blooming more and more from shot to shot. You are so fortunate to have her as a model

Wonderful job! The contrast is great, and you balanced the lighting of the inside and the outside perfectly. Really a great composition. The perspective is also striking: it's a great use of line. I think this is one of your best!

I like the angle, light and the modell(you sis is lovely not only beautiful - tell my regards to her) perhaps her right hand could be more naturally...hmmm...closer to her head (this is the only "need" I can say)...the wall on the right tells me that the prison is totally outside...if there is no wall seeing I think your pic tells only a wiew throgh a net made by steel...and your capturing on the left makes me thinking that the watcher can "escape" any time she wants to...good choice to let the left corner "open". Thanks for sharing.

Like it a lot buddy. The lighting is close to perfect, and the dark parts adds alot to this photograph.

You could've worked more on the composition though, the wall to the right brings this photograph abit out of balance.

A good shot still, well done.

Brem [2004-05-31 20:54:23 +0000 UTC]

I really love this image... It's so beautiful and at the same time very sad... To imagine there are in fact innocent people, locked up in prisons, without any kind of freedom... I think the girl impresses that innocence in this picture... And I would like to add that the angle you used is perfect: you and the girl see the houses, that makes the "pain" of being prisonned more intense...

Great work and definetely

Ciao Remco

another great photo from you (what a surprise!)

it expresses so much. the composition is amazing. but my favorite is the outside world being behind the "bars". it looks like the world is in prison, not the girl. or i'm weird.
