Remember these (http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=74675) from my Portrait Photography topic? Well, for our latest project, we were to take 2 of our favorite portraits and manipulate them with special effects and techniques to emphasize a specific physical or personality trait. I kind of went a bit overboard and did 5 so now I need your help selecting the 2 best so that I may present them for critique in class.

Feel free to leave your own comments/critique/suggestions. I'm always open to your ideas.

About the Critique

Hey guys. I apologize for bringing back an old topic but I had to let you in on how it went at the critique.

Welllll...

There's about 25+ of us in the class. Each person brought 2-3 prints of their best works with them. We lined up about over 50 photographs and photomanipulations, critiqued each one, and narrowed it down to the best 8 pieces of the class. These 8 will be posted in the art gallery next year and will be up for the whole year for exhibition.

3 out of the final 8 to be displayed are mine. *dances*

Thanks guys for your input, now you are all a part of this great achievement. =]

Thanks for the feedback guys. I, myself, am sort of partial to #1 and #2, but I trust your judgement.

wow, I like all of them. I think the first one portrays "rampage" very very well. But I like the second one also; it's very simple and serene. =]

They are all very unique and inspiring :) Tho my favorites are the 2nd one and the 5th. The 2nd because it looks classy and refined. Just a nice picture that really captures the eye. And the 5th because of the colors you used and it's just lovely :)

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I wound up choosing numbers 1 and 2 and 3 to present in class next week. Yes, I'm present 3 instead of 2. I couldn't choose 5 although I wanted to because my professor said it would use up all of his black ink and that I should go ahead and print it elsewhere. (The ones we choose to present we have to print).

For the critique, everyone in our photography class presents their best photos/manipulations and then the students select the best to post in our art gallery. I'll let you guys know how it goes next week.
