Different pose, no shoes (and no selective color!!) and it could’ve been a decent pic. It’s a shame when there is so much potential and its ruined in such a huge way!
The Fautog couldn’t level the shot because then he would crop part of the shoe out. It’s hard enough to walk on a sandy beach but imagine trying it when the heels dig in like a tent stake. Carry the shoes…and the fail continues.
OOOOOOOOOOH! This fauxtogorapher has really pushed the boundaries of … well … not art but uhm … of FAUXtography I guess. I mean Sepia, crotch shot, with poorly posed legs and color spotted (purple on sepia) shoes .. the man/woman is a genius of fauxtography.
such a shame! the model would have been really beautiful and the landscape/lighting is easy to work with. Beyond the hideous crotch shot and fake sepia/purple toes toning….her body is so awkward – she looks like a crab coming out of the water.
The only way to save this photo is to return to the original color and crop right down to her shoulders and head – beautiful portrait.
Photog: Now spread those legs wide.
Girl: Are you sure this is tasteful? You said these were gonna be tasteful..
Photog: Don’t worry. My selective color edit and garish use of sepia in photoshop will make it look fantastic.
Girl: (Smiling, thinking to herself, “I think I got ripped off”)
The truly sad thing is that, horrible pose aside, this is essentially a good pic. It’s the pose and the pp and yeah, the unlevel horizon, that kill it stone dead. *sigh*
Why is their a slight halo around her head? Pseudo-HDR miiight be the culprit, but there’s something about the lighting that makes me wonder if that poor model has ever been anywhere near that particular beach.
Attention: Even the thinnest, most beautiful women in the world do not look good with their legs spread open. Also, please stop cutting off pieces of people’s body (hands, feet, etc). I wanna see all of that shoe, or none of it.

Um….I guess I’m thankful she isn’t wearing a skirt……
crotch
Nice backdrop for a crotch shot.
Angela
Is this the same fauxtog as the military one? It’s the same awful pose … no way two people could use it.
Is there?
Gulp.
becca
she’s enjoying herself, and it looks like she is welcoming everyone else to “enjoy” her too.

Also, so important to keep the water horizon level. It’s distracting when its a such a slight slant. Details!
Raaa
Legspread Lilly is more of a distraction than the unlevel horizon
Lindsey
Oh definitely agreed!

Skin smoothing much?
Wonky horizons… my bête noire.
FoilGamma
Wow, it worth looking twice.

The shoes are definitely not the biggest problem with this picture!
Gal with a Camera
NO!! Not ANOTHER crotch-shot!!!!!!!! Doesn’t the fauxtography world have enough of those already??!
I’m afraid to see what will come next… o_O
Sash
Sepia color selection? Wow, that’s.. Innovative. Really brings out the camel toe in this shot. Truly. I just barfed.
Lora
OMFG…really? Who in their right minds would think these crotch shots look good?
Myk
I’m sure theres a market out there somewhere for these type of shots.
eeevooo

If taken from above, it wouldn’t be bad, but STRAIGHT ON with le’crotch in your face, not so much.
It’s really too bad, her face/smile/personality in this shot seems like she’d be fun to work with.
ALSO: WHO DOES SEPIA WITH SELECTIVE COLORING? WTF
Henny
this confuses me!

HAH! Well played.
Snappy
Even then, the sepia is still terrible. Much better than looking at her crotch, though. Well played indeed.
Wsroadrunner
I thought the beach had a different type of crab?
This is absolutely horrible. Someone needs to use that camera to beat the fauxtog with.
Snappy
You said “crabs” heh heh… er, I mean crab.

Actually, single image HDR is good if it’s done right… but nothing about this is done right. LOL

Why would someone INTENTIONALLY make a pretty woman look like a potato?
OMG!
