c&c welcome

Great picture of a pillar! Is there something else of interest here? If so I don't see it. There's more to street photography than bad snaps, and this isn't it.

your comment speaks a lot of your perosnality! sincerely sorry for you!

Sorry if I offended you Lols, but I really don't get it about this picture. My idea of "street" photography is stuff like this guy takes. http://www.pbase.com/genghis45

 

Check out some of his galleries. He shoots every day on New York City streets.

 

If you can explain this picture to me in more meaningful terms then just site statistics, get my email address and I'll be more than happy to carry on a meaningful discussion on the genre of street photography. I'm a landscape photographer, and would like to learn more.

 

 

hi, as you could see i'm not practicing "street photography"... and i'm strictly agains maiking photography street-uotdoor-indoor-bathroom or kitchen!

my point: it's "genre" but not too strong, so i put it in the "street", i do not see any problem...

explanaitons of a pic? that's ambiance(may be this word means nothing to you?!) but that's not my problem :)

regards

Sorry, but it's hard to see anything more than a badly composed snapshot...

 

Instead of getting offended, maybe you could learn something from the (more) thoughtful critique above, and perhaps pose a question rather than post site statistics (relevance?).

 

Seriously, that center framed blurry pillar is killing me, lol!

 

On a positive note, It is a good print with nice contrast/tonal range.

 

Picture quality="eh", while print quality="nicely done!"

 

My 2 cents.

I agree with Charles and AT. Keep shooting. Also, it would be best if you acquired a thicker skin so you can be more receptive of critique and learn.

lols; We all have bad days, but there is no reason to be so rude. Charles freely gave his time & talent and you basicly slapped him in the face for doing so. Perhaps you have gotten a false sense of security here by so-called freinds praising your work. Everyone has room to learn so why would you think you are no exception? By putting images in the Crit Forum is asking for opinions, good & bad. If you do not agree please try not to be so nasty. As for this image. I have to ask What is the Subject? Resto is what you wrote. The image is split in two by the column serving no obvious purpose. The same can be said regarding the motion blur, confusing dof & blown highlights. Just my 2 cts. d.d.

I could never imagine all "critiques & comments" around this image!

You'r really funny guys, I always ask for critiques and never get it!

Hope you can find other, more insteresting images in my gallery, and be so gentle to write (something not educationonal about my personality as rude, nasty &co) but photo critiques ;)

PS what does "2cent" mean?

PPSS "resto" means restaurant...

The idea of naturally occurring "split frame" compositions to create a diptych isn't new, but you probably know that. What makes this kind of photograph work is the interaction in the two halves of the juxtaposition. One frame either comments -generally in a comic or ironic manner --on what is going on in the other half of the composition , or how viewing them together creates a more powerful 3rd image than either "single" frame alone or if the device that splits the image (in this case the column in the middle of the compositions was not there. Ideally both halves of the composition should be able to stand on their own as separate images but that is rarely possible especially in candid photography. Elliot Erwitt does this kind of thing in lots of pictures.

 

I just don't really see any of that happening in this photograph but it is definitely a good idea to keep working with.

"My two cents' is Amercan slang for "my opinion" as in " My opinion is really only worth what you paid for it -- not very much."

thank you! :)
