I BEG YOU TO NOTICE THIS AWESOME DETAIL..
notice how the hand is covering all the LGBT options on the piece of paper??? the heterosexual symbol is in the light!!!
thus, foreshadowing the homophobia that lives in many people:(

i cant stand homophobia.. lets just leave it at that.
but IM SO PROUD OF THIS ONE.

This is for my page on Facebook, "I Am Who I Am". We celebrate the diversity of humans, especially those of the LGBT community. We're all about the love, so give us a like ;)

I got kind of artsy with this mini photo shoot

This is an interesting piece- I like the concept and the use of shadows/lighting to get your message across. You can definitely see that you thought about what you wanted to portray and how to express it. Good work!

I was trying to think of a way to maybe make the image pop a bit more! For some reason, I feel as though it isn't quite as dynamic as it could be- it might be the checkered tape or the very bright background (and its texture), which I feel takes away from the focus of the photo. You could maybe try to do something similar but on a plain white background, perhaps creating the shadows with the lighting (instead of using the hand)? That's just one option, of course. But I think that a black and white (with maybe the writing on the paper as the sole color) and having very severe contrasting shadows and light could work.

Needless to say, I think it's quite an interesting piece- now you can just play around with different lighting and styles to see which fits best. :aww: Good work!

I love this pic.

By the way, what's that symbol at the very bottom supposed to represent? I can't exactly tell.

This is great work :) But I think I would have put the heterosexual sign in the hand too, because it would have meant that everyone is equal. I mean, not every heterosexual is homophobic ! ^^ But I love the concept. :)
