I wanted to pass along some of the things they've mentioned. <br /><br />http://www.autodestruct.com/images/vince_l.jpg<br /><br />Basically, you want to lead the eye INTO a composition with value, reserving areas of strongest lights/darks/saturation for the focal (In this case, the lightsaber/face). I saw a missed opportunity to put Luke's lightsaber against a darker background (creating glowy contrast) and using it as a strong, practical lightsource on his face. <br /><br />This whole exercise has been a personal struggle of determining what's important in an image. What do I emphasize? What can be lost? <br /><br />Motherfuck, this is hard. This is SO HARD. But the voyage thus far has not been fruitless! I hope you can say the same.Paul Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15000419262088663449noreply@blogger.com
