Hmmmmm.......this shot was so busy it took me awhile to even see the naked. Keep shooting!!

Most stuff I shoot has a bussy character to it. I live in the city so everything is crowded. If you look in every direction on the street, your eyes vanishing point will be around 3 blocks down surrounded by junk. In a way its developing into my style. Shoot busy photos in a busy space. Never go longer than 50mm, don't get too close to show the atmosphere and make the viewer look deeply into the photo. Dont want them to understand the frame within a split second.

fyi, that doesn't mean I don't live minimalist.

That's cool, I'm glad to hear that you have found your nitch. I believe busy isn't always a bad thing. IMO, this shot isn't a great example of one that works. The tree branch that is hanging through the shot is dominating the image for me. It's drawing my attention away from what could be interesting (the trash, the nakedness, the door, the window, the fence). In your artist vision was the branch to be a distraction?

 

[andrewKn]

So true and it was not. Also the cable the frame.

They add layers to the frame but ultimately it hurts the composition.

I don't find a sense of that photo...

 

[andrewKn]

Its really about weirdness. There is a naked manikin in someones backyard. Does that make sense?

My personal opinion is that the cable and tree branch are distracting. I can appreciate what you're going for but if you have to explain it you might consider whether or not the point was received. Just my humble opinion, keep shooting though i think you're on to something.
