"Action & Props"

This month's focus will be action with an emphasis on interaction with props. As always, posing techniques, composition, and lighting will be important considerations as well.

Here are some useful links:

For some inspiration:
Digital Art Action Scenes
Fighting Poses
Action Poses
Dynamic Poses
May 2015 New User Contest (action)
September 2012 New User Contest (props)
Tips for composing action photographs (can also be applied to renders)
The Fundamentals of Action Photography
Finally, while we encourage you to create your own poses from scratch for this contest, the pose sets by Don Albert can offer some great inspiration on how to use props in active situations!

Basic Composition tips:
January 2015 New User Contest

To fit the theme of "Action & Props," your render could depict anything from a melee to a barbecue, or from a pop concert to a masquerade ball. The key points are that it must include some sort of dynamic movement or activity, and that it must involve interaction between figures and props (tools, weapons, or any sort of objects being manipulated.

If you are a new user, or if you consider yourself a beginner at any of those topics, you are welcome to post your works in process (WIP) to the WIP thread. I will be checking in on the WIP thread, as will the rest of the Community Volunteers, to provide feedback and try and help with anything you all may need so feel free to ask questions. Look in this thread (the WIP thread) for links to the previous month's contests, use the information links in those threads.

Once your image is finished, if you wish you may enter this month's New User Contest.  This thread is for completed entries only.

For a list of the current contest rules, please see this thread : Contest Rules.
To enter the contest, please post your completed image to this thread.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

For those veterans of the forums that would like to help, because this contest is designed for the beginner to learn from, we will be randomly selecting posts offering helpful tips and/or critiques to receive a special reward as well so whether you are a seasoned artist or an aspiring one, there is fun for everyone!

Closing Date: May 31, 2016

    THE PROPOSAL

    Here is my entry. I thought the dress flying up when she puts her hands up made a great movement piece and his holding the ring case was a good use of a prop. Now, if she only says, "YES'. Made in DAZ 4.9 and finished in Photoshop.
