Thats some lovely processing on that but what you really need is a few spots in there to set it off.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Spots?

 

[Paul Lange]

Stripes or Spots? Pool? Oh never mind, I'll get my coat.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I've no idea what you are talking about, Paul! LOL!

As portraits I don't think the second two work as the stripes are a bit overwhelming. When I crop off the stripes I like the portraits Rob.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

No, no, no, no! Sorry, Tom, I disagree I'm glad we don't all agree all the time...

 

[Tom Dunne]

Just get her to change the trousers then Rob

 

[Tom Dunne]

No, no, no, no! Sorry, Tom, I disagree I'm glad we don't all agree all the time...

Just find the contrast on that fabric hard on the eyes and so strong against the softness of the portrait.

We might as well all give up if we all agreed

Rob: Tom's right.

Tom: Rob's right too.

Me,...? I like the various contrasts.

Tom and Rob: I'm right!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I'm right. Your left.

Actually, Tom, you highlighted negatively what I saw as positive when taking the picture - the strong, aggressive lines of the trousers she is so proud to wear, and by contrast her softness, her shyness at being in the shot. It came out just as I saw it, and I think says a lot about her in her late teenage years, striding out into the world, yet still shy. She's Rhona. That's who she is.

Rob, having read the above I have a new understanding of the images and I'm sorry I got the names mixed up. I appreciate totally where you are coming from.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thank you, good sir.

It's always a matter of taste and I feel, as one does when one tastes, that the middle one is of no significance unless you want to show two different facial expressions. And if that is the case, than the face should be sharper. Apart from all my "butts" I find the black and white work as ever, very good. Now don't let it go to your head Laddie, remember I am not too sick yet although I sound like an old goat. Hark!

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

I like, a lot.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Finally, a man with taste!

 

[Paul Lange]

Does Rhona have any leggings with spots? I bet that would sort it out.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

You and your spots! She has some freckles...

 

[Pete Askew]

Well, I've come to the controversy late! And I like them all. The first because it makes such a super abstract. The second because of the contrast (even without taking your comments about personality into account). And the the third because it has a sort of part feel to it for some reason. My favourite of the three? The second.
