Nice mood and a typical "Brandon" setup.

Great feeling of depth with the table lit up in the next room.

Hands of the girl at the window seems overexposed.

Edit: Honestly, looking at this from another monitor (at work) it looks much better. I remove some of my "harsh" critique due to that fact.

Still waiting for that alternative composition coming your way...

nice work +9

@  moserArtist: Hmm, you're a hardcore realist, aren't you? If everything you take photos of has to look exactly as it does in real-life, what's the point in taking them? Have you considered approaching photography from less of a "textbook" perspective?

Anyway, perhaps when people start flooding the gallery with these types of shots I'll switch my style completely. Although, I can't think of a category I haven't posted in... perhaps you can suggest something? I'm open.

Just by looking at the preview bit, before I read who posted this I knew it was yours! It had to be! I love this kind of chaotic BG you use. The areas near the window do look a bit overexposed, but it really doesn't bother me. Great work! +9

Nude - Self portrait! LMAO

I like it!
Too bad about the overexposed parts, but that's minor

The overexposure was intentional. I took enough exposures to eliminate it, but chose to leave it in. I can understand if it's not to everyone's taste though.

@ moser: Well, I can appreciate that you would like to see that, and since I'm not an old bag yet I could probably get away with it... but I'm not going to try. No serious suggestions though, huh?

Awesome place for a moody shot.

Yes I like it.

...so do a good "Portrait" that even Carlos would envy...
(A street shot would do)...

The effect from the high contrast and intentional overexposure is to make this look very much like a painting. It works well from that perspective.

nice shot brandon

i like the rich saturated colors

I think it would be a nice idea to take the shot from the outside,
while the girl is looking through the window off center...creepie ghostly effect like the movie "the others' or 'the sixth sense'

my two cents, cool image

very nice work

Added a review Brandon.

oh my GOD i though that this is a painting...
the place is magnificent...
awesome work really

As I’ve said in the past, I’m a big fan of your HDR work. Like your others, this piece is rich with contrast and detail, containing an almost tactile quality. I appreciate the fact that you’ve begun adding human subjects to these shots; this adds an additional emotional component that further enhances the dark, cinematic mood already present in most of your work.

Excellent work. +10

A very nice portrait.

I agree with sdavis75 about the addition of human character. The over-exposure works for me in most places here, except for her hands.

It´s a greawt HDR, Bran, really nice capture!

nice HDR, but I still find a bit disturbing the overexposed areas.
the girl and her clothes are making the shot....
FLorin

excellent work
im not a big fan of the overexposed hands but thats a minor detail
the girl + the nice hdr interior = good result

Very cool. Great mood. Really like the colours and textures. I'm not crazy about the over-exposed areas either, but to each their own -- that's why it's called art.

woow!
great MOOD
I love your style

Nice HDR. I like the figure.

I enjoy when someone works to be different and push some limits for certain effects. I've found that I can adjust to the business here and appreciate the view. tons of character, mood, and texture! */9

Just amazing.... Love your work

lovely HDR and really good subject!

So much texture happening, looks awesome!
