- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
thankyou trenton, but what you said cracked me up . . . whats not technically great about it? also though i wasn't aware that good photographs resulted from successfully following rules. i don't mean this as a smart-ace or anything, but really think its something that should be discussed, and is something we can learn from. just because someone said you can't have an out of focus subject in the foreground doesn't mean there can't be good photographs with that.
and nomade, should intentions be be taken into consideration? is that really important when considering a work for critique? and do you mean none of those items are in the photograph as a interesting object, or did you mean intentional? i also don't understand what you mean by parts of him are more obvious. he seems entirely obvious to me, and pretty equally blurred.

i don't think it hurts giving an explanation, so here goes. This is an editorial shot of a man who builds recycled homes, 70% of the materials is headed to landfills. this home he built has a studio with great skylights, i took this directly under the skylights. One of the requirements to live in this house or to lease it is that you be a working artist. Hence the toilet, which ironically was also headed to the landfill, then refired to make it warp and crack. the artist is the head of a universities ceramics dept. the warped boards are a good backdrop bc of texture etc, but mostly because he readily can get warped boards for free. They also are a reflection of the artist leasing the place, behind the siding is big mirrors . . . the leasing artist didn't like it, so they covered them up. if you have 10,000 imprefect anythings then you have a cool pattern you can make. the floor is in small segments because a lumber company gave him the 1-2 ft scraps from when they have 12ft lengths of something and cut off two feet to accomadate a order for 10ft segments.
the house is detached from the studio and is a treehouse, i have pictures of it in another thread somewhere.
