I agree. I love the concept that you're going for and this is a really striking image...but it does leave me wishing to see it in a more "natural" form. Just my personal opinion but this one looks a little more harsh than the last one and that leaves me wanting a more natural lighting here.
Congratulations Leon,
I like it as presented. The lighting gives your subjects an intense feeling of anticipation and stress; just before the battle. Your subjects are balanced in frame and the black background makes them come alive. I like your fiber optics...good show...looking forward to more of your creations...:cool:
You don't upset me Jonathan Of course not!
But i 'm only photograph in backlight.
I always shooting in backlight.
And sometimes that gives an unnatural effect.
But it is natural.
I'm only change the light
I find myself agreeing with Jon and Julie here. I really like the tension that you've captured in the composition. And I understand that your "style" is to do backlighting but this one looks much harsher to me than your previous post.
Hey Leon, I think it has a great look, and I like to see things in different light like this. It has an artistic look rather than natural, which is ok.
