Bad Girl VI

The composition and the coloring are beautiful, the low saturation and high contrast really bring out a dystopian feeling. That said though, I think the positioning of the models hurt this piece. I'm not exactly sure what's going on here.

It looks as though the woman is looking at, and shooting at, the area right in front of the man. The man, for his part, looks as though he's being tazed. I took a look at the stock images used and even in the original it looks as though he's in pain. Not your fault of course.

If the story here is to show the woman swinging in on her rope and shooting the man then I would have angled the woman to the left to imply that she is swinging. Given the angle of her hair though, I'd add motion blurs to suggest that she's on the back swing. Otherwise you've got to move her hair to the other side lol I'd also like to see a bit more of whomever's arm that is. Maybe just a shoulder or a touch of the torso to make it more obvious that there is another person there.

I really like the landscape though, and the fog rolling in gives everything a cold and eerie feeling. The stark coloring works for this and overall the piece has a really nice balance to it.
