[PP] One for the Ogre boys

Photographers Comments
An unusual mix for this challenge but I tried.




This image was specifically created for a Personal Project created by our project randomiser. This photo was created using the following randomly chosen criteria:

Theme: Toys
Light: Natural Light
Focal Distance: 105mm-200mm
Location: Outdoors (Sunset)
Colour Type: Colour

Phil, that was a real tall order to combine all those things, I would just say it seems dark to me. Other than that great effort.

Looks like a life size shot of half pint (EOS1nr)!! Difficult shot to take, with what is quite a long lens, - you could have opened up the shutter a bit and pushed the exposure a couple of pluses (if canons can do that..lol) to expose more for shrek, but there is something quite atmospheric about it as it is actually, could be a bit sharper too. nice attempt.

Thanks Dennis,
I really should have used a reflector to bounce some light back onto the subject, but I think I would have broken the rules if I had used a fill in flash whereas it was not requested.
That is the beauty of this system, it will definately get people thinking about how they approach the subject.

Youre being silly Andy - far too tall for T'co

I think the sunset lighting could be made better use of in this shot. Especially since the colours of the ogre are complimentary with a sunset.
Perhaps you could have taken the shot with the light facing the subject instead of behind.

Hi Debbie,
I agree that there is not a lot about this pic which is technically correct. I think I rushed it to try and complete the set task. (Slaps my own wrist) Thanks for your comments, and I feel I should go back and do this all over again later today. I shall also write out 100 times, I will not rush my homework....lol
