October 31. Last date for submissions to the Abu Dhabi Photography Competition. I've opted to stay out this time. I really didn't get the time to go out and snap around. The lack of wheels seriously restricts my photography "expeditions" :(

Five assignments to submit today as part of the course in "Strategic Brand Management".
Status : Haven't started yet :D
But my extra-developed analytical skills have concluded that the deadline of 10:00 PM is still far away and that the work involved will be complete by then.

Two exams to give this week.
Status of studies : At scratch.

My camera was raped by an extreme kayaking weekend coupla months ago. Seawater + blazing Middle Eastern sun + smacks from the handle of the oar = NOT GOOD!
Have I taken it to the Service Center yet? No.

Plans for composing a song, recording it and releasing it online.
Status : In the pipeline.
Since when? : Years

.... and the list goes on ...

Procrastination is an art. A suicidal one at that.

Personally I would have liked it more if you hadn't blurred the left-hand side so much. If you were seeking to draw attention to the subject, it wasn't needed... the subject is already the center of attention.

What I do like is, dressed in over-exposed white, there is a strong feeling of purity & freedom conveyed. Also a subtle sense of innocence n vulnerability. I like the way the girl has a very detached look. Probably a result of photo-manipulation, but her skin colour is damn neat... golden... kinda.

And I like the overall colours the picture. Blue. Li'l hints of green. White. Tan brown.

The framing could have been a wee bit better... possibly. I would have framed the subject a little more to the left of the frame. At 2/3rds. In the current frame, she is too close to the right edge... in my opinion.

Might be better to put up the original with just some color balancing and no blurring. That's my opinion. :)
