Book IV Prelude Challenge: Category B: The Archery Lesson

[bmohnsen]

Ethelfieda has been discreetly recruiting young women into her spy ring. Under the guise of teaching them gardening skills, she has actually been imparting spy-craft expertise. These skills include coding, undercover infiltration, equestrian abilities, and most recently, archery proficiency. Ethelfieda is an exacting teacher, demanding that the women adhere to the precise techniques. She meets with each woman, observes their technique, and provides them with constructive feedback. In this particular scenario, Ethelfieda instructs the woman to raise her right hand under her jawbone while keeping her elbow level with the hand.

Nice one! I really like the facial expressions - they are so simple but it looks like they're having so much fun. Great job! Why did you choose transparent eyes instead of printed ones? I also like the different NPUs in there. Using the chain as a belt is clever. As is using the minifigure fur piece for a large figure shoe fur thing (no idea how this is called hehe). The color scheme of the figures also works great. As advice I would say: The base feels really rushed. I think the figures are really good - and the base kinda is way too bad for them. Give them a nice irregular ground to stand on!

The photography feels overexposed. Try taking pictures not in direct sunlight. And I took a Quick Look at your camera settings on flickr. I'd open the aperture way more (yours is almost completely closed), which means you should get down the number next to the f. and when you open it it allows for a much shorter exposure time.

Thank you for the feedback. I have the aperture closed down to ensure a sharp image. I did have trouble with the lighting on the blond hair - it was not taking in direct sunlight - it was taken in a light box.
