What I really want to know is if you'll be entering the Flowers challenge... |
no. I thought about it, but I don't really live near any exciting flowers...and even if I did I wouldn't just go out and take a picture of a flower on a stem with some nice bokeh or a macro after misting it with a water bottle like 397 of the 400 entries will be.

If the main subject is the girl, we arent seeing enough of her. If the main subject is the guitar, i should the face of the guitar, not just the top.
As far as the bokeh, my eyes are drawn to the drummer since hes all there, rather than away from it. With the framing the same as it is, I would have liked to see the focus on the drummer with the guitarist as foreground bokeh.
I also think you should lay off the SpecialK when making forum posts :D
Edit- Note the smiley, this signifies humor or sarcasm. You appear to have missed this subtlety in previous posts. Welcome to the internets. |
You can always find something to pick apart in a photo...but saying "the main subject is the girl, we should see more of her" is so closed minded it isn't even funny.
Do you know how many national geographic, magazine, print, potrait, etc. etc. etc. professional photographers have award winning hundred thousand dollar or million dollar prints where the main subjects are only partially shown?
I mean...come on...this is getting absolutely off the deep end. We should see more of her? Are you joking? |

Look, you wanted to know why it scored low. We've told you. You disagree. We get it. Nothing you say is going to make anyone here suddenly smack their foreheads and say, "Man, you're right! Let's start a petition to retroactively give this one a ribbon!" And conversely, nothing anyone tells you is apparently good enough, so as long as you keep this a confrontational "you vs. them" sort of argument, we've reached a stalemate. You can argue over subjectivities all you like, and you will never come to a consensus. And as long as you're unwilling to actually listen to what people are saying, nothing will ever be accomplished by continuing on in this manner. It's frankly quite stupid.
EVERYONE: Let. It. Go. That means you. And him. And them. Move along. Seriously...

AHHH! You've noticed that DPC is not NG? Then you will also soon notice what kind of shot scores well here, and it may not be the same as what does well at NG.
If you want big money or big scores, you have to make pictures the intended audience wants to see and will like.

Don't ask a question if you don't want to know the answer. People have been giving you their honest opinion as to why they thought your photo got a 5+ and yet you berate them and argue with them...what's the point? |

No! Please don't. I'm loving this thread. It's better than some reality TV I've seen recently...
In fact, we should all be allowed to vote now, to see which photographer has to leave the island... :-)
And then we could all do some sort of challenge - I'm thinking a photograph or two perhaps - and the winner gets immunity from next week's vote...
Certainly more motivation than a virtual blue ribbon... |

I think we're done here. SpecialK, please review the tutorials on giving (and getting feedback) and the forum rules.
