Too bad because Kundalini is a very valuable source of knowledge and always willing to help with lighting and well every simple question. I didn't find anything in this thread he said too harsh. But your not going to hurt his feelings any with your grand farewell. One less person who thinks they know it all to ask him simple questions. I find it highly peculiar that your running a business, and asking basic beginner questions every week. You do have some talent Sabrina and are capable of producing some nice shots but you need to lose the pretentiousness when your asking for others opinions. Write me off too if you will either way doesn't hurt my feelings.

What? I didn't write kundalini off... hes the one who said "now im done with you" so I am saying au revoir....
Why is it so bad that a business owner asks some questions? I guess that business owners should never ask for the opinion of others and that people should know absolutely EVERYTHING they need to know about their craft before going into business? Please. I am ALWAYS willing to learn and grow and having a business you learn and grow along the way. I just post in the beginners forum because this IS the catch all section for everything. Im not sure why many of you are saying im not open...if you actually took the time to READ what went on in this thread you would SEE that i was open to people's suggestions until someone was rude and told me my photos were "rejects".

SabrinaO, personally I think we should just keep our mouths shut. We both have our own opinions, and we love to voice them. But no one here likes to hear it. We say one thing wrong, and the condescending rain down upon us. Drowning out every little thing we say, and making sure our opinions never surface again.
Apparently in order to be "liked" or "respected" on here, you have to be able to keep your mouth shut, or just have the same opinions as everyone else. If we disagree on some subject, it's better to just shutup and let the hyenas get the last laugh.

No offence to anyone out there, I can see you all trying to say I'm "disrespecting" you.

And no offence to you Sabrina, I'm sure you don't like the comparison I'm trying to bring up between you and I.

O Hai!

Question: Why are you even here? I mean what have you contributed to this thread other than your snarky and pompous little remarks? In fact... I have never seen anything of value come out next to your name. Do you get kicks on trolling around these forums with your little "witty" and useless remarks? I guess it's because you think you are the end-all be-all in photography. I'd humor you and give you a pat on the back if you were here... but i'm guessing you do that to yourself every night.

That's not all he does to himself every night!

Also I've seen lots of helpful posts from Bitter, along with humorous remarks that literally make me lol.

is this better? Added a white layer at 31% opacity between the text and pictures

It's a little better - maybe darken the drop shadows.

Someone once told me that when you're working with graphic design, you should step back and look at it from across the room, and see how it looks. Designs that are cramped and busy become more obviously so when all you can see is the big picture instead of the details. In this case, when I back up from it the only text that's really easy to see without trying is the "for a", because it's printed against a complimentary color. The other words all blend in to the background. Adding a border to the text, or darkening the drop shadow, will help separate them from the collage.

How is this going to be distributed? Printed? Emailed?

So even though everyone said it was overexposed, you actually put a white layer on top to make it even more bright?

Blame me for that one, if you feel like blaming someone - that was my suggestion. I was thinking it would wash out the photos enough to make the text show up better while still conveying that "light, airy feel" she was after by overexposing them in the first place.

If you have a different suggestion, I'm sure Sabrina would love to hear it.
