Ilja Hackman wrote 2 months ago Oh, I´ve missed it.. Big congrats for the "Screener´s Choice"!! This sure is COOL kitty pic! :))) Thomas Ljungberg wrote 2 months ago This has always been a favorit of mine. Great pet-image! Wondnderful expression (love that thin slit) and very balanced composition. Congratulations on the "Screeners choice"! /Thomas Tracy Martin wrote 2 months ago peek-a-boo! This really is sooo cute but I agree with Angela about the SP. Emily Bem replied 2 months ago I'm glad you like this! :) About a SP. I have a feeling people are getting tired of seeing the same faces/models from me. :) I'm giving everyone a break...maybe it will bring back a little impact to my work for everyone. I wish I could just get new models, but things are too crazy on my end to do any "shopping", and quite frankly I'm shy about imposing ;) Thanks again :) Congrats of S.C. It is a great image. I wish they (or Ya'll) would choose one of your sp. Makes no sense why one has not be choosen. Anyway, GReat job! I love those wiskers. Strong and Dominating stare. Sharp black and white here! ~~André Fernand Hick wrote 6 months ago Great idea here Emily. My only remark should be that there are perhaps to much details on the veil, details that capture the look and are a bit distracting from the cat. Only my personal feeling... like always. Nevertheless an excellent shot ! Fernand Emily Bem replied 6 months ago You know, I was on the fence about that! I tried it with the curtain softened and was unsure about it. Maybe I will try again and see what I feel....thanks so much Fernand! :)))))) Fernand Hick replied 6 months ago Emily, you can try to darken the veil after having added some grey tones in the white parts, then try with or without blurring. If you blur the veil, without changing the white parts of it, these white parts will capture the look further, that's not the result you hope.... All the best, Fernand Rui Palha wrote 6 months ago Excellent sense of composition, Emily. Not a common "pet portrait"...it's an excellent photo. Stefan Trenker wrote 6 months ago like a chamaeleon adjusting perfectly to its surroundings! great capture Great! I really like how you just photograph yourself and the world around you, but make it seem so magical. Emily Bem replied 6 months ago Magical??? Wow! I'm delighted you think so! :) I'm not in much of a position to travel the globe just yet, so my surroundings is all I have. I'm so glad you appreciate that. Thanks, Mitchell! Mitchell Kanashkevich replied 6 months ago Yeah, "magical" is a good word for it. At least as I perceive it. This doesn't simply look like a cat, as it comes out from the dark, through the curtains it reminds me of some fairytale character who may just say a thing or two to the viewer. Most of your self portraits have a "surreal" quality, as if the person in the image is not a regular human, but posess some kinds of special powers:), something about it all that feels magical. Emily Bem replied 6 months ago You really do get it. I almost always try for a touch (or a bucket load..ha ha) of surreal. Thank you for taking the time to really look and comment on my work.....GREATLY appreciated. :))))) Emily, even with felines you have a way with eyes. Interesting shot and I love the detail. :) Misty Fugate wrote 6 months ago oooh I really like this one...reminds me of that movie of Stephen King's..Cat's eye!! Great comp and how on earth did you get that kitty to sit like that? LOVE IT Emily Bem replied 6 months ago Thanks, Misty! I have never seen that movie, but I might just have to look into it! :) Ilja Hackman wrote 6 months ago Ok.. I usually don´t like kitty cat pics.. but.. Oh man, man! This is something else!! :) So cool! The way he(?) looks behind that curtain (obviously curtains are your favourite props at the moment ;)) and the way the whiskers catch the light.. Very nice! I wonder.. what kind of mix did you use in channel mixer to convert this bw? Emily Bem replied 6 months ago I agree. :) A kitty pic has to have something special to interest me. As far as my favorite props go,....blah, blah, blah!!!! I didn't plan on using curtains for this shot... it just happened...ha ha! I used Corel Paint Shop Pro XI(don't laugh). Corel was my first editing program. It was cheep and easy to get around. I'm just starting to learn how to use Photoshop 7 ( in all my spare time...LOL ). Not too much done here. I sharpened, converted to BW, dodged and burned a bit and then used "clarify" on a low setting. The "clarity" filter can BUTCHER an image if used too heavily, but I think ,when used right, it can make a BW image stand out. I use it on all of mine. I hope that was helpful, Ilja! Thanks so much...I'm so happy you liked!!! :) Mundy Hackett wrote 6 months ago Really nice Em! And WHY would you be desperate ever! You're talent is amazing and the last thing I would thinkyou would need is reassurance! Emily Bem replied 6 months ago Oh, thank you Mundy! I just meant I was desperate for models....ha ha! You are too kind. :) Mal Smart wrote 6 months ago dog eating kitty stalking photographer as next meal!... That's cool. mal Emily Bem replied 6 months ago Ha ha! Oh, no worries. Kitty won't outsmart the stalking photog....at least I hope not! LOL! Thanks, Mal! Mal Smart replied 6 months ago that's what you think!.. I recon that the"Chab" was distracting you while the kitty made the move!... Emily Bem replied 6 months ago Ha ha! It might have been possible if the kitty hadn't eaten the Chab. Emily Bem replied 6 months ago Thanks, Giorgio! I know, I know...a kitty shot. Not usually what I go for, but I have been a little desperate lately. ;) |
