My Last Diner

How can you post something like this? This is disgusting, it's morbid ... what's gonna be next? ... the picture of some dead people caught in a fatal car accident? ... entitled "My Last Ride"? Use that camera to make something beautiful ...

.....Rats are making people ill!!!

We have here in and arround our garden many many rats.If we dont kill them then WE are responsible for many problems with people.

 

So., rats are dangerous!

 

An we dont use poissening., it takes hours and hours before the rat dies.This ,,machine,, takes only a split second.

Nothing wrong with this picture. Actually original! Macabre but still a good picture. Offcause; "where do we draw the line?". One thing, the rat/mouse should not have been killed just for the picture. I don't know if it was but that's my opinion.

You rated one of my photos a 1/3 when it was averaging close to 6's and you post something like this??? Now (after looking through YOUR work) I can understand why you feel the need to trash other's. If you didn't like the photo, at least have the common courtesy to explain why.

I agree a low rating should be accompagned of some explanations, I got also 2/2 without explanation from the same person for this one:

I found this photo to be quite disturbing. However, I also think it's a very worthwhile photo. At first, I noticed "cute mouse." Then I felt horrible for it--but affecting is good.

It's a dead mouse, that's certain. It's a shocker, that's for certain. It's a poorly executed photo, no question.

see his tale !

LOL. OK, so it's not a mouse, and it's not a mousse (that much I know). It's some sort of rodent (of course, I have 0 experience with rodents).

MY MISTAKE...

are you a animals killer? :)fuuu but very good.

Ananda(1/1) and other people appricate your photo must be for Greenpeace

It's not anything I really want to see but you did do a very good job capturing it and we are suppose to vote aesthitically on how well it was captured and not on what we want to see. I went a 6-6 even though I don't like the content.

I agree, its a morbid shot, but done perfectly

Sorry to say this (and to repeat a comment I have already posted for the other photo of the same subject), but I find this inappropriate and in bad taste. Death is always a tragic thing, even the death of a rat (or mouse - it doesn't matter), and should be shown only with respect and in the appropriate context. Here it is gratuitous and serves the sole purpose of shocking the viewer. No ratings, I do hope this image will be withdrawn.

I respect your opinian but I think you are not realistic.

 

If this picture should be removed.,you could also removed 33% of all other pictures here....

 

Think (agian)pls

i'd kill a pesky little rodent to get a shot like this... nice work. very emotional, very good. sends a message. excellent

Thanks for your comment .

And I was at your portfolio and also reading about your way of live.....Try to keep this allive.,try to reach your goals.

 

Kind regards.,

Good dof, good light, composition is balanced but not stiff, subject is ALMOST isolated from background, there are no distracting elements. This photo is well executed, almost classroom perfect. regards, -Jim

If we look at famous war photographers like James Nachtwey or even the great Robert Capa, we see lots of deaths, destruction and more disturbing realities of life (one of Capa's most famous shots actually depics a soldier in his moment of death). Making great compositions of dead people is of course only for the very talented. But for all of us the difference between blunt sensation and art is in the compassionate eye of the photographer. I find this shot rather moving, with the eye of the rat still focused on the cheese and the contrast between fur and steel. Well done! The rat is dead, that's just a fact of life, it probably didn't hurt (probably not as much as eating poison) and it certainly doesn't hurt the rat to be shot digitally :) Because of this picture this dead Portugese rat will at least be remembered (he liked cheese, more than life R.I.P).

 

cheers,

Very original, my friend,but bad taste

Dear photographer, you´re playing risky little game there. You add here an excellent picture, but no tits!

Keep taking good pictures!
