These all seem like snapshots to me. No direct focus in any of them, except for maybe the wheelchair. The wheelchair is in focus, but it's green and you lose it in all of the other green parts of the image. Is the first image blurry? Did you try to fix it with some sharpening? If it is blurry... go back and try again. The only photos that could receive any worthwhile critiquing are seven and eight. In seven, the angle is nice but there is no contrast; it is very flat. However, like the rest there is no focus of the image. What were you trying to capture? In eight, the shadows cast by the closest light are excellent. I like what they do to the blocks in middle of the image and to the bottom poles of the catwalk but again there is no direct focus. The pink walls in the background are ugly and ruin the photo. Perhaps pull in on a subject and make that your focus, rather than these wide all-encompassing photos.

So what? Are you going to lose sleep over it?

Some of the same images are Post Processed, to me it is a revision of some of the images which I felt should be placed in a new thread.

I'm sorry, I don't recall seeing any of your work posted on this forum. Or are you just some pretty boy who likes to portray himself with a camera?

There are no rules, you love it or you hate it. I'm glad you dislike it to be honest, it's not your thing. You don't have my eye.

Now there's no reason to bash him for lashing out at everyone else. Let's be civil.

The fact is, you are not going to improve your skills if everything you create is perfect. I'm not going to lie and say your photos are amazing if they aren't and I certainly don't need to show my work to tell you what I think of yours.

Your eye is irrelevant the moment you posted those images for others to look at.

this is very true

and by posting here in the critique section your main interest should be to learn something and not feel offended quickly! But i doubt it if you're up for that so i'll pass.

Who cares if someone posts many pictures on here or not. If they notice something about your photo that doesn't look good, isn't that still valid? If you are trying to sell a print and someone simply doesn't buy it because they don't like it, saying, "I don't see you selling any prints!" would be retarded and it certainly wouldn't somehow give you more credibility.

Saying something like, "You don't have my eye.," certainly doesn't work either. If many people's 'eyes' agree that your photos are mediocre, maybe its your 'eye' that needs to be developed. Pretending that people just don't 'get' the way you took a photo is a good way of denying that maybe you present your subjects poorly.

If you want a critique here ...or anywhere, leave your ego at the door.


...but maybe you'd rather just look through my post history to see if I post photos that suck.

Mediocre is right, the shadowed watermark isn't helping much either.
