The Lost Horizon.

feel free to comment........

an interesting composition of lines and curves, the person adds a speck of life to an other wise static image. where was this taken?

roof of the new Mall of Asia pasay city manila. thanks for dropin bye.

Nice one ... indeed. The gradient color is reaaly nice. Nothing against composition. Althow, I would prefer horizontal lines to be perfect horizontal. I don't know what is the reason ... but you can see the pixels in many areas at curves that have small angles. It is a common problem ... but when resizing, these areas are anti-aliased ... so I don't know where the pixels do come from.

And about the forums ... I'm not trying to make history here, nor I do have time to spend on the forums and read all the stuff, and so on and so on. I prefer to ignore the bad things (bad people) and go on with my life. And I thought of it ... you know ... I don't think that there really are bad people that give you 3's just like that. I've seen mr. .[.Z statistics ... and yeah ... he has an immense quantity of 3's ... but on the other hand ... maybe he just voted "all" the photos here ... and yeah ... a large number is crap. Maybe he doesn't know to appreciate. Some images need a deeper look to figure out the great idea.

 

Anyway ... really thanks for the support there ... I will let go of the topic and of the idea. If you need help with thinking of a new rating system to propose to them ... I am happy to help. I have also some ideas that could be discused.

for me the rating system is quite ok. cause if you check my photos rate received i seldom get 3/3 and i never complain about it. in most cases i'm the one who explain who are this 3/3 guys. my theory about them is true. common misconception about the 3/3 guys are they reside in a deserted island, no shave for almost a year, they dont take a bath, they only stay infront of a monitor. looking waiting for the next victim. but in reality these are just group of normal individual with very high taste when it comes to photography. give me a week and i can find all of them. but i don't want that. if i get rid of them how will i know if my photos are really good. so we actually need them. what happen to me and mr. .[.Z is more on a personal thing may be i wrote something in one of my comments and it affect him emotionally. and his retalation to me is not also a common act of these toughnotch critique. in fact its the first time i experience such an attack. and it made me panic i don't know if somebody rate any of your photos direct with 3/3. actually the amature photographers needs these expert critique to for proper guidance or else where all lost. if they are not here life will become very boring and photography will become a meaningless hobby. i like standard very high standard though it force all photographer harder. believe me you these group of people can bring out the best in you. what i regret is when they tamper and change rating given by mr. .[.Z the old man lost his stature as being the toughnotch crtique i used to know, now his just a ordinary person in PN a common rater in the eye of the public. his not distinctive anymore. many thanks andrei for a very good analytical reviews. best regards DSC.

i'll give you a tip its a give and take. anonymous raters view your image in a small screen. most 3/3 also comes from small screen. the big image is actually least of your worries. try to perfect the small screen. resizing issue is a phenomenon problem in pn. try to make an image that will come out good in all the three screen thumbnail, screen for anonymouse and large image. best regards DSC.

Yeap ... well, I'm not gonna continue the discution about "3/3". Well ... all my images don't need to view them "larger", they are preaty small, so the link doesn't appear. Thanks for the tip, thow. But to make them look good in thumbnail ... that's preaty much out of my reach (: ... regards.
