I've had these done for a while but couldn't get blogger to work properly.
I wanted to post a few more, reallly nice pictures. But I couldn't get any of the other ones to load onto the site, so I will get them up as soon as I can.
Comments? Critique? Suggestions?

i really like the soft colors you used with the tissue. i think it makes the white more fluffy looking.
I like the soft colors also, but its hard to tell if there is a particular point on the tissue that is supposed to be in focus. The image also looks a little noisy, I might try using a longer exposure with a lower ISO. With the tissue having such a soft surface, the digital noise with the higher ISO really seems to get in the way of the natural texture of the subject of the photo.
when i look at this i keep thinking its a huge white sheet being flung up in the air. from that perspective i think the photo feels really summer like and warm. like the light on my imaginary sheet is from a huge open window
I like the soft, flowing lines of the sheet in contrast with the sharp, dark line in the floor or table in the bottom right area of the photo. the fact that the sheet isnt totally in focus also makes it seem more like its moving, along with the lighting, the sheet is given a very soft quality.
Kerri, You use sharp defined line and implied lines with amorphous shapes to create your composition in this image. The soft value range (there are no real blacks or whites) give it a nineteenth century feel, or as if its from another time/world. I love the vignetting that is happening at the top (where there is a subtle value shift at the edge), which is an artifact of camera lenses and uniquely photographic, as well as being very predominant in 19c photography. My only question to you is how necessary the graphic decorated paper under the tissue is? What does it contribute to the image? The use of a defined geometric line is already there in the tissue itself. That paper locates us in space in terms of the depth of the space and the size of the tissue. Without that defining part of the image, we would have a harder time determining its scale, which would have been really interesting, and would have strengthened Dan's experience of the image greatly.
