..... but some people seem to feel it's something we shouldn't do.
Yes, cool look. I like the selective color filters - but some people seem to feel it's something we shouldn't do.
IN MY OPINION, if the only thing that I notice about an image is the technique used then the image should have been culled to begin with.
Thanks for the feed back and I agree with you on most of what you said. The whole point of photography is to share and express what the photographer is trying envision and then share with the masses. Now whether or not people like a said picture is there right. I believe that our society has become to dependant on what others tell you like. I'm glad I came across this forum...... but some people seem to feel it's something we shouldn't do.
Frank, you have recognized a social phenomena that is "learned behavior" in western culture. Now I must mention upfront that I will probably get a lot of bad mouthing & "mental smirks" from what I am about to say.
It is really a shame, since the advent of the internet, that people's "personal opinions" travel virally, having an unconscious influence on others, then morph into a "trend" in which thousands of other people then develope into a "morm". In the psychiatric world this is known as "progressive programing". And the "mainstream media" in western culture uses such tools as a way of "social engineering" the masses at large. The reasons vary but the outcome is obvious. Overall, people of all ages, races, and ethnic background no long are capable of "cognitive reasoning", or the ability to "think for thenselves". We are told through our radios, televisions, magazines, smart phones and other media sources what to eat & drink (diet fads), how to dress (popular styles) how to comunitcate (political correctness), how to - anything. Just look it up on the internet and find out what other people are "thinking". Progressive programing is a little more complicated than this but you get the idea - how one person's opinion or a small group of nefarious people can "mold" whole communities, nations, cultures, etc. To go against "created trends" is to commit "social treason". Everyday, "free thinkers" are ridiculed, reviled, socially outcast, even physically assulted and mentally persecuted (thrown into psych wards), forcing some to become withdrawn and recluse - wow, sounds like me, but I'm digressing.
@retrofred, as far as the "style" of photography you are experimenting with - I like it and I liked your image. "In my humble opinion" I believe using selective color filters has a definite place in the world of photography. Somewhere, someplace, some other era, somebody discovered how to do this.
That's my rant for the month!
