Rachell took this photograph.

For this photo I noticed the gold eyeshadow my sister was wearing and decided that I wanted to take a picture of the eyeshadow, but more intense. I added more eyeshadow to her and took the photo outside so that the sun would glint gold in her hair. I think the gold makes her look deceptive because some people see gold and think of fools gold and trickery. I did a gaussian blur to make the color bolder and a blur overlay, erasing the eye to enhance the photo.

  1. I really like the texture and the detail that you can see in the eyeshadow and her eyelid. I like how you did the composition with her hair being about the same tone as her eyeshadow. I just wish her eye was not as in the middle. Maybe if it had been taken at a different angle. Otherwise its a good picture and the colors bled very nicely.

  2. I love how in focus the girl’s eyes are, especially the eyelashes. The lighting is used well and isn’t too harsh or too dark. The subject is a tad bit in the center but because the photographer got close to the subject, that can’t really be changed. It is still a good photo though. This photo makes me feel like I’m looking at a rich or gorgeous girl because of the gold tones throughout the photo. I really like this photo because it does include all of these things stated above.

  3. I like that the model's hair frames the top and left side of the image. Because the subject is mostly in the center, the framing the hair creates draws the observer's eye to the left side. The brightest spot in the image falls directly on the left third of the picture as well so it offsets the centered subject. The eyelid has a lot of texture as well as the hair and eyebrows. This is offset by the washed out face surrounding the eye. The picture is a little "pixely" in the eyelashes but other than that, I think it is a beautiful photograph. -LH OHS

  4. The way that you got close to your subject makes it more personal and forces the viewer to look at what you intended.I like how it has a definite color scheme that it's really simplified. The shine in her hair enhances the elegance and beauty in the picture. -MB OHS

  5. This is such a simple photo, but has a lot detailed into it. I really like the eye as the focus. It is a little bit in the center, but it still looks good. The way the light is hitting the model's hair and her eyeshadow really gives off a glow and makes it shimmer. The textures of her eyelids, eyelashes and her hair are really noticeable and look real. The way her hair is framed in the corner of the picture and swoops over her eye really adds to the photo as well.

  6. I love how much detail is in this photo. It must have took a long time to get this photo to look so perfect and real as if you were really looking at this girl and not just the photo of her. The colors and lighting is perfect

  8. In this photo I think just taking a picture of an eye was a good Idea. I like how the gold is similer with her hair. with her hair being blonde and her eye shadow being gold I think it really brightens up the picture. This photo makes me think of someone trying to be tricky and I think they did a good job of showing that in this picture.

  9. This is a great photo. The Lighting is awesome. The way the eyeshadow and the hair look so similar really makes this great. Mostly because the two different sources of similar color are hardly touching. I also enjoy it because the hair casts a shadow but it’s not a very big shadow. All in all, this phot has great lighting, and great colors. Nice job!
