Please critique

Please critique honestly this picture.

You can be nice, brutal, honest or dishonest. Just say what you think of it...

Thanks!

I'll be really honest - it doesn't do anything for me, I don't understand the context of what is going on or what is of interest here.

Well, I'll be even more honest: I think it's pure garbage. I'm just curious to know what other people think.

[Tuolumne]

I don't get it either. Doesn't say anything to me one way or the other.

Ok, so is this a trick question? And now that you've told us what you think at the very beginning you've really ruined it. :)

[le vrai rdu]

well, will try to critique

-I don't see what you mean with this picture
-trouble with horizontality
-your subject is lost amid uniterestings stuffs : car , bin, etc ( maybe an other aperture would be better)
-Composition is quite poor
-too far from the guy
-whites are burned :/

Well, seriously, I don't want my reputation (whatever it is) to be tarnished by the 0.0001% chance that someone may think I like it. But who knows, maybe is there a genious around who'll like it?

don't care about you reputation, just make pictures that seem good to you :)

[Tuolumne]

I know - it was taken with your Noctilux. Great shot. Amazing bokeh! :p

[Tuolumne]

Wait a minute...now I get it...I see your name tucked away in the upper left corner! Bingo. Sheer brilliance.

[Todd.Hanz]

too centered, nothing happening of any interest, I feel like I'm missing something.

funny thing is, this looks like 99% of my shots ;)

Actually there is more. You can clearly read 23nb is a fag. That's sheer brilliance, I confess. It's the image that worries me. If at least it was good :bang:

[Tuolumne]

I see "NB23 is a xag." What is a "xag"?

The lampost and the car intrude. Absent those, it begins to work. Even the lampost could stay; if only the car were gone...the flower guy, the trash bin, and the lampost might make a nice triumvitate against the long red awning.

What the heck: P'hop that Detroit Iron outta there & see if you don't like it better:D

Oh, I get it! Erase the guy, the flowers, the lamp post and the cars... Yup, I already see some improvement!

[Tuolumne]

Actually, the whole thing reads "NB23 is a F Scott's Flowers xag". Do your subjects frequently speak to you?

LOL! Hehehe

[foto_fool]

Thank you, Ned. I really needed that.

[Anupam]

I can see "NB23 is a fag" other than that and Scott's flowery cap the picture sucks. If it sucked a little less, it might have been worth analyzing, but it so obviously sucks that I'm sure it's apparent to you.

[dannynono]

so ... the flower guy, did you have to pay him to stand there, or simply wait for someone carrying a large obtrusive object to stand in the right spot.

very funny.

[maddoc]

:D:D:D First I thought it is a boring snap but since you never a post a boring snap I had a second look ... Very well spotted :cool:

[csaunders]

Cool.

How long did it take you to Photoshop this?

[Thardy]

What was the flower guy doing? Spitting in the trash can?

[NB23]

I'm sorry for not answering before.
Actually, this garbage picture is from a guy that posted it on another forum. When I criticized it, he got mad and came back with the PS work on it. Apparently, we we're supposed to be in awe in front of his work.

I just thought I'd ask what you people in here think of this pic... maybe I was missing something obvious.

sorry but I don't feel really pleased with you posting a picture of another to critqiue, that's quite unfair

[NB23]

I think the guy made his pic public. Not only public but he insulted me publically without impunity and showed the world. Since I am taking no credit and since his picture is public and a homage to my name, I think that posting and talking about it is the same as posting a photo of a leica M5 and talking about it. Don't you think?

Where's the beef?

[le vrai rdu]

I agree but I don't post picture of gear. However, that wil give you troubles about your credibility ( one could think that what you are posting is not always your pictures) . Further more I don't care about gear, just picture, that the reason why i don't wan't to argue about gear

Well, this public photograph was aimed at (or against) me and I think I have the right to post its link wherever I wish. I am honest about it, see? I am not even mad nor insulted by its creator. I just think it's a bad picture and I simply wanted to know who are the other Faggots that think the same as I :p :p :p

[le vrai rdu]

I created a thread for critique ;)

feel free to post YOUR picture there :)

I think you should send the photographer $1 (I suppose that's one of those sexy Canadian dollars, no longer the laughing stock of North American currency), and thus purchase the rights to this fortuitous capture. It can be one of your avatars, if you ever decide to rotate them as Pitxu or nikonhswebmaster do.

No way! 1$ is way too much! think of all the valuable things I can buy for 1$ that are worth MORE then this picture. Maybe a penny. Naaa! Actually, the artist gave it to me. See my name in there? So it's mine.

About changing pictures: Man, I don't have that patience and time!

[iridium7777]
