    Alright, I hate to be this hard on something, but for a running girl, all I see is 'Illuminated butt'.

    You look like you know what you're doing with some of the lighting/shadow effects around the feet, but I'd flip her around and retake the picture to make it look like she's running.

    Way too dark around her head compared to the rest of the picture and I have no idea what the pattern is that's going on.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but what is the general purpose of this image?

      Well the purpose was to make something cool ...that was just the title.

      The darkness is intense because I wanted the contrast to be high and yes point out some of her body parts like her but.

      I find your comments to be very negative, ratings without a purpose ... so please don't give me your reviews anymore I find them without purpose and useless not at all constructive.

      Thanks.

      Ok, guess it's kind of hard to review something that doesn't have a direction. Thought the purpose of conceptfeedback was for feedback on actual marketing concepts.

      Just a thought, if you want to just play around and show off some Photoshop skills, check this place out: http://www.istockphoto.com/forum_threads.php?forumid=27&page=1

      That's a perfect stage for learning good PS techniques.

      Yeah...well from what I know this part of this website purpose.Photo manipulation is one of them ...if you don't know what that is about at list don't make reviews:)

      Simply move on to whatever you think you are good at and review that...it's simple. All I asked is not to review things that you don't know nothing about.

      With the iStock thing, I was seriously just trying to help you out. It's a great place to pick up some good skills in PS and play with your work. As far as what this site's purpose is, I think you're missing it by posting random PS comps. Taken from the "How it Works" section:

      "Designed specifically for small and medium business marketers, graphic designers, and web developers, Concept Feedback provides a simple tool to get quality feedback on marketing concepts. Best of all, it's 100% FREE!"

      So, with that, what is the marketing concept of this image?

      I have no problem commenting on work, but I don't like wasting my time clicking through and asking for the direction of an image while trying to give solid feedback just b/c you want to show us what you did in PS today.

      Harsh, I know. Does it make sense though?

      Also as far as I see you are a web " developer " not " designer " and I don't understand how you can give your design opinion. Please stick to what you know.

      Maybe I should put Web Developer, former designer but switched to developer b/c it pays better and I love code.

      Here's some creds: http://www.istockphoto.com/forum_messages.php?threadid=76978

      As I said ..and you make me repeat ...you don't have to give feedback.. you can just look and move on. I really don't need web developer review on graphics, no point.

      I'm still a web designer, I just develop too these days, but screw the whole review thing. Seriously, did you check out the Steel Cage? I think you'd love it. I saw your previous work with the coastal scene and it's right up Steel Cage alley.

      I was going to mention (joke) about the same thing =) Well, it's too dark. Needs more work in dark areas.

    I really don't know what's going on

    Posted on Oct 07, 2009 at 1:32 PM

    I am not sure what this is for or what she is suppose to be doing in the picture. It looks like there is some sort of rain drop background but not even sure about that. The woman is blown out and over shadowed in some areas. I guess I just really don't get the point of the pic...

      I will just post website designs here and website related graphics. This was just for the effect I liked how it turned out ...I don't have any purpose so I guess that is confusing.

      Thanks.

    Need more body.

    Posted on Oct 07, 2009 at 2:18 PM

    All I'm seeing is someone's back side. Need to see more of her body. Maybe some motion blur on the background. Right it just looks like she's bending over.
