None taken, really. :thumbup:blank, could you explain how BJ's interest in how the images would be received ruined them for you?
i read your post a couple times, and maybe im soft, but im just not understanding...thanks!
OH, OH!! I sense the masses are waiting for "Mr Negative's" reply.
The shots themsleves do nothing for me. As I said, I am not an artistic photographer, and to me these are artistic shots, in the sense of "camera in hand, inspire me world". I'm not a fan of abstract work either. I never bashed the shots, actually, the only reason why I replied was because of Bitter Jeweler's curiousness on how they would be received. He has had 10 people say they like them, I was the black duck that said I didn't. Sorry.
You know when your in an art gallery and your standing next to people and listening to them trying to decipher the hidden meaning of an artist dropping a bucket of paint on a canvas after he tripped over his kids bike, then there's that putrid character that has the nerve to say to you, "are you on crack?"...I'm that guy!!
If Bitter Jeweler's post had of required a negative comment, I would not have replied at all. As I have replied to a few posters on here, photography is personal perception, thats all. What Bitter Jeweler and obviously 10 other people think is fantastic, I have an opinion of "meh". I'm willing to bet there are more who have the same "meh" opinion, but they declined to comment, that's fine too. That is why I quoted his sentence in my reply.
Actually, I have seen this guy from day 1 do nothing but ask lots of questions, join a social group and be very involved. That's good, just what this site needs. No offence Bitter, can't please everyone.
Hope I cleared things up for you.
I can understand you just not liking abstract art.
Negatives won't bother me, but I was hoping for the negatives to be more along the lines of why compositions don't work.
