First bw photo with one object color!!

[MissCream]

lol.

BUT, you got a hot avatar picture, so they'll be nice to you...or nicer to you than what others would get. *looks out for schwetty*

Bahahahahahaha

Sigh.

In other words, Gary is like a soft shell crab. Looks intimidating and hard on the outside, but you can just bite right through him.

Uh, NO, that's a bad,bad analogy; inside, a softshell crab is sweet and delicious. Inside of gsgary it's all bile and muscle and fermented beer...

As to " First bw photo with one object color!!", somehow I don't think this is the first photo that has been made that way...I **think** I might have seen that done before, maybe, a time or two. But it's a brilliant idea, no doubt!

I am new or at least infrequent on here and not much over a P&S, but I have had several years of art. But I always find it.......ironic.....sad.....mad.....funny..... and for sure hypocritical when people that claim to be an artist and claim art is freedom and that are and beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but then criticize or shun another person's art because it doen't fit into a certain groove or what they call artistic flair. That type of judgement you would think would not come from an artist and instead from the facebook zombies or P&S family herd, but its actually them that are the most acceptable.

I found the picture good. I found it strange that the seat was colored and not what I would consider the focal point....but its your picture and if you like it then go with it. When my wife and I go out, I order beef and she orders salmon, is either one of us wrong....in the eyes of some yes, but to us no.

Anything can be good, in one's own eyes, because of emotional ties unrelated to the artistic contest, some specific taste or, in the very minutest of instances, an actual new direction in art.

There are certain standards that people accept as verities and these verities change slowly, perhaps as people become enlightened or as more truths exert themselves.

When you put up a picture here, it is judged by both the standards we adhere to and by certain common sense issues that are more physiologically driven.

In a bw field, the viewers' eyes are drawn to color, just as in an out-of-focus field they are drawn to focus. Why would one make something color and thus draw they eye when it is not the point of the picture? Until the photographer can make some sense out of that issue, I will continue to think that, for most situations and circumstances, selective color is stupid, trite and tasteless. Stupid because it makes no sense in itself, trite because every newbie who learns how does it and thinks they've developed a new art form and tasteless because it invariably makes any picture in which it is used, less than before.

Thanks Traveler, you just convinced me how I plan on doing my boss's album cover...oh, yeah, selective color, here we come. The ironic part is I am serious. It will be absolutely perfect for the band's vibe and the title of their album.

 

[The_Traveler]

My argument isn't to say that any specific issue is always wrong.
If you know how and why and it's a success, do it.
999/1000 that are shown here aren't - except of course in the eye of the beholder.

Thank you for negating your own point.

 

[gsgary]

Gary: would it have been so hard to say it was out of focus in the first place?! that probably wouldn't made this thread about 1/3 the length lol! Us here in the south view 'what do you guys think' as c&c, sorry I guess I will be more clear as to what I want next time! Hheehe anyway, my next photo will hopefully be better...I wasn't even using my good camera then, it was awhile back!

Everybody have an awesome and safe 4th...thank a soldier!!

I'm sorry but selective colouring is one of my biggest hates 99% look very tacky

The football is shaped weird...maybe lens distortion?

You don't get lens distortion with a 300mmF2.8L

I had no idea you were from the UK. I look at this picture and I said, "Damn he looks like he is from the UK!" :lmao:
