suppose i told you that i knew the impact of the settings used? what then would say about the creativity that would seem to suggest that you don't need to follow hard and fast rules in order to get results.

Good results are what most people seek. Your result is ok, but as mentioned by others, and I agree, the result you got is not good because of the poor separation of the subject from the background and the very awkward pose. The bunched up fold of skin on her neck is not very flattering.

Are you aware of what lighting style you used?

People have been doing visual art for several thousand years now and have discovered through trial and error that some techniques/guidelines/rules work better than others for making images that have broad appeal. Studying those techniques/guidelines/rules and understanding HOW and WHY they work is the best way to avoid the life long process of re-inventing them through the same trial and error process.

In other words, only by gaining a deep understanding the techniques/guidelines/rules can you then bend/break them to advantage.

Good Luck with your photography. :thumbup:

Given the camera settings it does not look good, shooting at 1/1000 you have nagated your iso setting of iso1600, obviously you set iso1600 because you were shooting in a dark room to let more light in but you took all the ambient light away by setting your shutter speed to 1/1000.[/QUOTe

But you did not get good results, going by the settings you don't have a clue what each setting does

i respectfully submit that if you say you can't find anything to like about the picture thats ok but just because thats your vantage point doesn't make it so.

You should go pro, i have had another look and it's a fantastic shot

you seem to be indicating what you don't like about the picture. However, the purpose of this web site is to share also our constructive views.

given the camera settings how does the picture look to you? part of the learning process for me is to better understand what my cameras limitations are.

finally, you know what they say {those who can do those who can't reach to be negative}

If you knew what the impact of the settings were going to be then you knew that there would be all sorts of flaws in the photo. Plus you are cheating now by switching the photo that got the first critques.

there you go did your feelings get hurt. lets just agree to disagree since you obviously didn't get the point of the picture presented.

I thought the point of presenting the photo was to get it critiqued, not praised. You did not like the critques you got.

You would get a lot more out of this forum if you actually listened and took advice. Instead, you are taking any comments and suggestions you don't want to hear and saying, "Oh, I meant to do that!"

Am I to understand that you are not quaking with awe at the overwhelming image he has allowed us the priviledge to view? I had this guy pegged in the last thread he started. He has improved, though. This image, in spite of the I-don't-have-a-clue, settings is better than his other one.

I stick to my last comment, wonderful pose with the skin fold on her neck, out of focus but out of focus is arty, can't tell where her hair finishes i must try that because i always seem to get seperation from the background, top class photography

 

[Scoody]

I feel unworthy to even post in a thread he started. After seeing the photo he posted, I may just give up photography. I do not deserve to even be in the same profession as this Master Artist.

To the OP, you have to realize that 99% of folks on here are socially retarded basement dwellers, this is the only place they can give people crap so it comes out ten fold. While there are some very helpful posters, they are far outnumbered by idiots which makes this place pretty much useless as most quickly figure out. As for "Scoody" if thats you in the avatar, skip giving up photgraphy and go ahead and give up life. Back to the OP, once you realize the type of people who are giving you crap you usually end up laughing. Remember those guys in High School who had no friends, couldnt get laid and were constantly ridiculed. There on here and now its their turn. Nobody on here is a pro despite what their signature says, just the typical online forum full of loud mouths and BS. Not everyone eats, sleeps and breathes photgraphy. Some of us have lives, jobs, famlies and much better things to spend our days doing than hanging out on a forum 24/7 giving people half a world away crap on their photos without offering any real insight on how to better their shots.

Everyone on any forum is a pro, hence why most forums end up being full of post whores and offer no general knowledge to anyone other than regular posters with post counts over 20k. This is afterall photography which is nothing more than a hobby. Being the best photographer on the forum is sort of like winning the tallest leprechaun contest.

. So, are you done critiquing the forum and it's members? Do you feel better getting that off your chest? Are you going to give helpful comments about the image now?
