my first Teen Shoot c&c

[bigtwinky]

Actually, this one is correctly framed:

http://www.thephotoforum.com/photos/showphoto.php/photo/12569/ppuser/62499

Too freakin ironic.

You go to post an example of work where your shot is framed correctly, and the link points to a Page Not Found.

I think some sort of higher power is taking control here

You may recall that earlier on someone called them 'dreadful', and it was not I who said that. . . I am not insulting, nor rude.

You didn't say that, some guy that tried to clean his sensor with a cotton swab and a 30sec exposure did.

You may not be insulting and rude, but you certainly are willing to make critiques of other's work without showing any of your own. I don't care if you're better than everyone here, unless you'll show your good stuff, nobody will EVER take you seriously. That's the short and long of it.

The people that I respect here are people that either a) can and do produce good images on a regular basis and show them off (a couple posting in the nature forums come to mind) or b) a beginner who is genuinely trying to improve, as the OP of this thread is.

You fall into neither category.

It worked when I posted it. I even checked.

Anyway, here is the link:

Thats perfectly framed?
Unless she has one arm, id have to disagree.

 

[Petraio Prime]

OK, here is what I think:

What the OP needs is to take several photography classes. Critiques we can give here won't be of much value. She needs to learn to see photographically, and that cannot be taught via the internet critique.

Yes, look at her beautiful eyes and smile. That is what I wanted to show.

Dont try to help now PP.
You can get great C&C off the internet, its just when people like you show up, nothing helpful gets said.
Hmm this reminds me of This thread. Way to be helpful

I have no interest in showing my own. I am not here to solicit critiques. I don't do the kind of photography that would interest most here, and some of it is not easy to appreciate, even though it is extremely difficult to accomplish.

So here's the deal. If you want to be taken seriously, put a link in your signature to a gallery where we can see your real work. You don't have to ask for critique to allow people to get an idea how good the person critiquing their image is.

You could tell me the sky is blue, the sun is yellow and the grass is green and I'd go outside to check before believing you.

Ok, leaving the arm out is fine, but clipping her ear isnt. IMO. You have no interest in anything apparently, except bringing people down. Now you offer advice when your initial advice was to quit and take up dentistry. You cant even man up to being a jerk. You are spineless.

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

Anything can happen and it usually does. Okay, I stole that line from the Mickey Mouse Club. I think Wednesday was Anything Can Happen Day. Or was Wednesday Discovery Day? Hmm…

Wednesday was "Surprise Day".

Her ear? What do you mean? It's there. It might be a little tight, but it's there. You don't have all day to take these sorts of shots. You have a second or two.

Most people can't do this sort of work. It's too hard to do, people milling around and moving between one another, obscuring one another, spinning around in the light, etc. Especially kids. You get a split second and it's gone.

What I don't understand is why someone believes themselves to be a great photographer would take the time to upload 155 photos that are marginal at best and not 1 great one? I also don't understand how your great shots could be lost, yet some higher power saw fit to save the ones you grace the members of this board with?

I also enjoy how you link to photos that you think are wonderful, yet when others show you what is wrong with them, you offer excuse after excuse. The photos you have uploaded on your gallery are snap shots at best... of course this is coming from someone who freely admits that they are a beginner and have a lot to learn.

I also welcome the members of this board to point out the mistakes I am making with my images. I WANT to get better and to do so I need to learn from my mistakes, make adjustments and be polite and appreciative to those that take the time out of their day to offer advice.
