bjcarlton 0 Posted January 21, 2007 No tits. No asses. No birdheads. No really wrinkly old people. Haven't seen anything like this before. Must not be very original. Ok: 3 for originality. No sunset. No forest, lake, or ocean. No beautiful model. Must not be very aesthetic. Ok: 3 for aesthetics. Some might think this was a picture about a surprising find of a pattern of yellow in the midst of chaos, but what do they know? 3/3. Link to comment
davidmccracken 2 Posted January 21, 2007 It would appear the first rating was a 4/4 so maybe you should be happy. I actually like the shot although I can understand why many wouldn't. It will be interesting to see what others think. I'll give it 4 for aesthetics (even though I like it.) The colour balance does seem to be off. However I will give it 5 for originality as I haven't seen many shots like this. Link to comment
juan-de-santa-anna 0 Posted January 21, 2007 Hey I swear...when I opened this up I could smell the flowers....! Great composition...between champagne bottles and a way cool dish rack...Can you go back and shoot this scene again? How about some yellow gloves on the right hand side towel rack to balance this awesome image out? I would have give this at least 4/4...with the extra gloves on the towel rack... it would have been a 5/4....so of course I had to help you out...glad to hear your smelling fix these days again...juan Link to comment
aslavihervuori 0 Posted January 21, 2007 For me, biggest distraction in this photo is lack of main interest, main subject. It dos not have to be tits or ocean; you will not find them in my portfolio, either. Actually one Finnish, Neaderland- based fotographer lives by taking interior shots from old Russian-Karelian homes, ordinary homes... Aesthetically I like the contrast between flowers and undone table. I like sharpness of this photo, but minus thing in technical side is, that photo is bit tilted. Not much, but I can tell it from edge of dishing table. Heeey. This must be somekind of trap. I do not rate anymore (for almost year now). You did not want my opinion, but raters ;) Take care, a s l a Link to comment
bjcarlton 0 Posted January 21, 2007 Wow; three meaningful comments on one picture. This is the way it should be. I was hoping my diatribe would jar loose some actual criticism, rather than just some unexplained, and therefore meaningless, numbers. It seems to be working. Link to comment
bjcarlton 0 Posted January 21, 2007 Once again, your Photoshop skills impress me. I suppose if I'd wanted to stage the scene a bit, I could have moved one of the gloves over (being one of those reality-based photographers, which is just another way of saying "not that good in PS"). I might also have wanted to add something yellow to balance the ice cream scoop. Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted January 21, 2007 Jeez man, don't give that man any more ideas. But if we are going to do that, wouldn't you need to balance out the soap container with the golden liquid on the right with something? Well, let me see..... Oh, YEAH! When that champaign makes it's next move, we can capture that. It should have that color.... Must say I'm a bit disappointed I wasn't invited to the party. Link to comment
juan-de-santa-anna 0 Posted January 22, 2007 Yes... Barry I suppose if you were not using the camera to hold yourself up after drinking so much champagne.... there could of been a few realities to have pondered...like wtf am I taking this image for...? I suppose you might have had some of the juice still in your system when you posted this on P.nut...I really do like the cool dish rack...our mobile home (so wonderfully photographed by David M.) is on the small side...we dry our dishes on our spare hot tub...ours looks like the same model you have...but wow! you have a big kitchen sink if you can wash you hot tub in it! Bet you have to wash it a lot with David coming over to use it! Oh well thats what friends are for! Thanks for the compliment on my PS skills...I think I'll be graduating to second grade next year...your pal.... Juan PS (not photoshop) I am waiting for some of your B&W negs to show up!!
