Unique Nature Photography 'Peach Garden Ceremony'

[Vtec44]

This is a new thread with new images. Let's try and keep any preconceived notions which may stem from earlier threads out of it. Thanks!

THen @Josh100LuBu , are you looking for critiques on these images or just sharing?

Some thoughts. Agree with @tirediron. On #1, the feathers at the top are cropped, and your left arm (while I know it's around your back) looks to be missing (not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's distracting).

I like #2 better. I don't like the placement of your left arm, and your hand is getting cropped. The processing is throwing me off a little, but whatever floats your boat.

Seems to me you kicked the contrast a little too much ( the multiple tiny white area in the leaf pop out way too high), which incidentally introduced a lot of noise. Might want to be a bit less heavy handed on the slider. Then again, it's your stylistic choice, so it's fine if you personally like it this way. Also, the vignetting is very weird, instead of helping to bring attention back to the subject ( you), your image start to desaturate, which fight the high contrast in the leafs.

As for posing, someone mentioned it first, might want to check for the fan that is cropped out. When you bring an object above your head, the attention of the viewer is immediately brought to it, and in this case, we "fall off" the image since it's cropped. The vignetting doesn't help in this situation either.

Hope this help.

Okay folks, let's pause and catch our breath. The OP has posted images he has taken in a gallery. Let's just and concentrate on that, and provide him with feedback which may be useful. Mmmkay?

Thanks!

If that's the case, I'd like to know what's so unique about the images. As an artist myself, I know what makes my image(s) unique although the concept has been done before. Every single little detail is deliberate and there's a reason. There is no accident. If you can't explain it you don't know it. It's a simple concept, especially for someone who is suppose to be educating everyone and ushering in the new age of photography.

Why are you so angry? If you don't my content don't look at it.

Do you see me angry at all?

Just wanted to show this one as it is similar in style only taken in Winter when every thing is dead. In the Summer batch everything is colourful and lively, here things are more bleak and mysterious. Many Moons is a Lamatologyceremony.

I don't know. The more I think about it, I'd suggest driving somewhere to find a background more suitable for your pictures.

The photos really give me that "this was taken in my backyard" kinda vibe. The grass in the last photo doesn't make me think mysterious, it makes me think well-manicured.

Can't do that, I have to be here 'The Peach Garden' it is most significant to the meaning behind the images.

Dare I ask why?

What's so unique about this photo?

You must not be fully aware of the multiple meanings for the word unique.

It's a rhetorical question. We all know same subject taken by 2 different photographers at the exact same time will not look the same in photos. This guy is oblivious because he doesn't have the basic concept of photography or art. Just throwing a bunch of stuff together isn't art or unique. It's just lazy and ignorance.

That's pretty direct

As for wedding photography, consistency is what clients look for and it is not as easy as you may think to stay consistent. If my wedding photos are generic junk, say it. However, it doesn't matter to me if the paying clients enjoy it and that the photos have sentimental value to them.

This guy is not a photographer nor is he interested in learning it. He is after attention and clicks. And he duly gets it on this forum.

If the background has a significant meaning, then it's not being conveyed in the image. At least to those of us who are unaware of the significance.

Because there is a ceremony that takes place in The Book Of Lamatology called Many Moons and it takes place in The Mountain Top Peach Garden, sure I could film somewhere else with trees but it wouldn't be genuine enough for me to get into the spirit of the moment. Heres some literature you can read on the ceremony. LamatologyCeremonies
