It is a good photo or at least different. Might even be a good abstract. The title is stupid.

Thanks for your quick reaction, I thought the title was very funny, and still I think it is ;D, and I first wanted to have it under abstract, but the humor in it, but okay, we all see different, thanks again

title

You submitted for critique and ask what I (not specifically me) what I think. I give you my critique/opinion as you requested and you brush me off because I don't agree and also think it is funny. Why ask me and why waste my time. Did you submit for a critique or as a joke? The title is not only stupid-stupid (childish ) but it harms your image. You have a pretty interesting image with some artistic merit (how much I don't know -it is not my field). You submit the image as a joke which takes it out of the realm of serious art -maybe leaves you in "humor" where it does not belong. Why not say abstract on wood, or bridge -something like that to give it some broad appeal? Why kill your photograph with a title -which also happens to be vulgar? At least I have given you some kind of critique which is more than A.K what's his name's "well seen and captured.ﾔ. Smile and adds his own dumb jokes. Great critique mucho effort! Bravo for A.K (who happens to do excellent photography so I do not know from where he is coming). I am not being hostle; just giving an opinion. It is your photo; you are free to do what you wish. This is what makes photo.net fun. Thank you.

Meir Samel, I am sorry but it was not my intend to brush you off (I am not sure what it means) and you are right perhaps I had to put it under abstract, but for sure it is not vulgar... I was very happy with your quick respond, but I will tell you a little storie about this, I do see somebody standing, two legs, and it was realy from birdshit, I am not sure if that is vulgar but okay, and suddenly I had this song in my mind, I am still standing yeah yeah yeah, I think it is from Elton John...ahh perhaps it is difficult to explain, and that's what I did try to say, we all see with different eyes, and for sure we all have our own sence of humor, so don't be angry, a lot of shit happens in life sorry I couldnot resist to say that

And Meir Samel I think you cannot talk to A.K. like that, his name is Amal, and it happens to be that I love his comments always, I like his eye and mind, but as you told me I am childish, and I am and I am very proud of that (and that's why i PUT IT UNDER HUMOR METHINKS)

 

Dear Amal, thank you so much for your comment, always nice to hear what other people see, and for sure it is a funny comment

 

Contribute a critique

There are a lot of delicate ego's in Pn. I like it and you did well to spot it, it looks like caspar the Ghost, perhaps a new title (maybe less offensive) could be Crapper the Ghost. Keep smiling:-)

Nice thinking!...

 

I will keep on smiling don't you worry Terry, it is a funny comment, thanks

 

Pankaj Purohit, thank you for your thoughts ;D

 

 

Your eyes often catch SIGNS around you. I don't know what this SIGN means, but feel like this is telling something to you, not only telling "a bird dropped shit on wood". Your photos reminds me of that the world is fulfilled by SIGNS. Keep catching!

First of all it is very VERY good to see your name Hiroya Hamamoto, I am happy that you are around.... and about the sign... yes you are right.... because shit did happen.... but I am still standing....
