Do you like these? Poll

[Goldorak]

I need honest opinions on these photos. I already posted a similar thread, however I understand some people have opinions but don't want to comment so I thought a Poll would help.

Please take the time to answer.

Hi,

where are the photos?

And for that matter, the poll?

The white look too washed out and they're either very grainy or pixilated. The poses and expressions are good.

I like the poses a lot but the color, or lack of, leaves me disinterested.

I'm with Al here, if these shortcomings are just because of posting and they are show some structure in the original, they might be great but in the given presentation ....

This is on a flat-screen monitor here in a bright office, but from what I can see, it looks washed out, too much white on white. Also, lots of what looks like .jpg artifact, but that may not be relevant.

Depends on the purpose. If your doing an ad for a high end perfume great....for most purposes they look washed out again on my flat screen monitor at the office.

I'm with Ray J on this. Suitable to create a background mood for advertising, but not for wedding or engagement shots.

I kinda agree with Ray and Michael: depends on purpose and context.

1. If you meant to do one thing, and you got this as a result, then only you know if the pix are 'successful' to that end.
2. If these are meant to 'represent' the subjects then they may not be thrilled that their faces are overly obscured.
3. If you're going for 'atmosphere or spirit' or something equally ambiguous, then i kinda like them. Movement, life, etc. They don't look "washed out" on my monitor, but they are grainy, but that's fine and the effect contributes to the the spirit.
