Although an interesting idea for a shot, I don't know if it really worked... I think I would have liked this a lot more if you could see detail - as in maybe an HDR image where we can see highlights and detail in the pebbles or whatever's on the ground. Also, I know it's hard to sit still during long exposures, but if you can master it, the detail in your clothing etc would be a lot better.

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it.

This was shot in almost pitch black, shot at ISO 3200 and a 76 second exposure. It was very hard to keep still, hehehe.

I really wasn't going for HDR in this one, I actually went with high ISO in order to bring some grain/grittyness a bit. I was trying to put the focus on the figure in the photo so I wanted everything to lead your eye to it. If you notice the lines in this image, they bring your eye to the center where the figure is.

I'm not so sure I pulled it off though in this case though.

With the grain I would recommend a black and white conversion. Like the concept of it and I think the lines work

Wow man that is a pretty sick water mark! You should take a small picture and put it in the corner of the water mark so no one copies it on to their photos.

Well what I am saying is your water mark is so large and obnoxious that it seems to be the focus of the image, so as a joke I said to put a small picture in the corner of the watermark so no one steals it.. which is why people put water marks on their pictures. Don't worry though I'm pretty sure neither the watermark or the image will be duplicated.

<edit>
I also noticed that watermark does not correspond with any actual website. Did you put the wrong information in your watermark? What gives? I want to see urban fetish!

Ah... ok, gotcha.

Well, the watermark isn't really that big, and it's in the corner. I could have plastered it across the center of the image like a lot of folks do.

It is a website that I'm still working on, so yeah.. it's kind of a coming soon thing.

I won't put any images up without a watermark. It's a branding thing, not so much a security thing.

I really like the photo, but the watermark is a bit too obtrusive.
