Caricature

This is my second attempt (first here) at this sort of photos, I really like them as they are a somewhat different and dynamic take on portraits. If I had to change one thing is my reflection on her sunglasses, but otherwise I like it a lot. Any other suggestions?

tremendo retrato! super simpatica lili :)

y creo que lograste bien lo de la caricatura por lo que el angulo hace ver el cuerpo desproporcionado (caracteristica tipica de una caricatura) la cabeza se ve mas grande ...

y el fondo me encanta :D

A mi este tipo de fotos también me encantan...de hecho las fotos de los carnets de la abeja son en ese angulo, te sugiero no te coloques tan encima para que se pueda apreciar su cuerpo, sus manos y sus pies... asi podras obtener un escorzo completo...Pero en lineas generales es muy buena foto!

Es de pinga, Oscar.... el reflejo de los lentes te ofrece un espectáculo, esta vez en miniatura.

Very original, very nice composition with the tiles on the floor and color contrast.

Perhaps a bit more angle on her, so she doesn't look like just a floating head & shoulders.

The one you did of your sister was much better, in my opinion.

Here's a blog entry by a Flickr contact of mine who has experimented with this technique.

Bueno exelente foto para variar oscar tomando una buena foto jejeje loco hay maneras de mejorar ese reflejo trata de trabajar con los contrastes o los opacos pa ver si le quitas brillo y te ves menos en los lentes de resto quedo perfecta jejejeje! un abrazo y saludos

this portrait rocks. Great angle. I did not notice your reflection until a looked at this large - and I don't feel it detracts from the image. A polarizar may help eliminate it or strengthen it (I think a stronger reflection would be cool).

...and seeing this large shows this amazing detail in the image.

Wouldn't change a THING!! So lucky - so much talent, good eye and gorgeous model!!!

Just looked at it large -- the grout in the tile makes a FASCINATING effect -- think about returning and doing some more -- that is sooooo cool!!!!

nah.... quedo buenisima asi... de pana... jajaja... y el reflejo en los lentes, aunque accidental y no deseado, quedo chevere, le agrega mas humor y buena vibra.

Thank you Csaba!

Wizum, hehe, some people have said it! but it's always nice to read it from someone else. I agree a square crop would probably work well with this, I may try it to see how it looks. Thanks for stopping by.

Jamie, indeed!

Antonio, muchas gracias! eso trato de ir por buen camino! jaja

rula, thanks a lot! I agree she has a great smile.
