next question is where could I get this glass? I presume it needs to be elevated from the floor?

I will give a softbox a try, and also see if I can lift the subject onto a glass shelf. Thank you very much for ALL answers, I appreciate that you have taken the time to try and help xx

Where would I position the flash off camera? I usually use a white or a pale lilac coloured background and obviously don't get this problem, but I'd really like to know how to solve this so I can use these coloured backgrounds.... I can't see how using a white floor would get rid of this and...

Hi, thank you Kim for posting here, I was having a nightmare explaining what was wrong. Here is what is wrong, and I do think as you have said that it is the way I have lit the photo that is the problem, and the light is bouncing off my background onto the subject. It's only doing it to their...

6/52 - Clutter by violet27|photo 52, on Flickr On the idea that the photo itself is far too busy?

Hi, just need to see my house to know theres no worries with 'clutter' LOL! Dawn, only just noticed what you mean about the straighten... think it's because it is actually straight and the fence is wonky, makes it look odd, think the tree on the left would look odd if I straightened it though...

okay so bit of a catchup for me... 4/52 - Open by violet27|photo 52, on Flickr On the idea that it's an open landscape... too vague, i dunno? and this one taken today (skin of my teeth getting it in before cutt off!!) 5/52 - Hard by violet27|photo 52, on Flickr On the plan that the rock is...

Thank you for the feedback. I do know what you mean about the sole of the shoe, and do agree it may look better for that one photo to be in black and white, or maybe just slightly darker. Though I decided when editing that if I was to do a B&W conversion, I'd do it for all the shots, and felt...

Thank you :) Week 3 for me was really hard. Still not 100% happy on my portrayal of the theme, but it's in there somewhere. 3/52 - Sytle by violet27|photo 52, on Flickr These are not actually converse, so they are just converse 'style' shoes... I've not had the heart to wear them very much...

But then it is a portrait and to me the eyes are what makes a portrait quite a lot of the time. :) thanks for your comments xx

hows this? http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll30/violet1991/2.jpg

Thank you! I personally had a choice of 3 images to use, and I put it to a vote with my friends as to which I should use, as I was stuggling to decide. I know what you mean about the placement of the camera, but I was hand holding the camera to take the photo and I never got it quite in the...

loving the second week, gorgeous colours in there, photo is so pleasing to the eyes :) x

2 very good photos :) Love the second one, and how you have to look into the photo to know why it represents 'new'. The colours are so pleasing, and I think I like what you've done with the DOF, so that we read the lines of the poem that make the photo make sense, but at the same time I like the...

Thank you all very much, such fab comments. I just hope I have started with the same standard I can continue with! Well, it's time I put that to the test! Sorry Charlotte, I did ALMOST take a photo of my 'new' baby guinea pigs I had born last week, but I found what I actually did to be a little...
