Here two pictures that I kinda like. I'm open to your critics. The first on is from Singer and the second one from the Dow.

How is this even 'exploration'? It's a loving house you've already been in you weirdo!

The first one is the better one out of the two.

So now you and Axle have to write a whole sentance instead of just a useless phrase like "Great photos!"? If you're not going to post a constructive critique or at least give a reason WHY you liked a specific one, you're WASTING OUR TIME.

Very sarcastic and facetious remark. Thanks.

PS: i, too, am really tired of checking new posts in EITHER of the photog forums, only to find new posts that say something absolutely useless.

I love this section of the forum 'cause Dev frequents it.

1st one: I think a more drastic angle, more towards the ground would help this one, as it is, I keep looking at the imperfection in the wooden floor, and it's shadow.

2nd one: I like macro shots of peeling paint as much as anyone, but it's a tired subject. Looks like the subject is the lightswitch, I think maybe a shallower DOF would help. It also looks like you jacked up the saturation in 'shop a lil too much.

i hope, that you, too, are being sarcastic and facetious.

cause that shit about Canuck Tire and Axle ain't no bull. I'm so fucking tired of opening a thread and letting the images load, only to see that one of those two has posted a comment that doesn't even qualify as a sentence. I feel like they've somehow stolen important seconds of my life OVER AND OVER AND OVER.

anyhow, earlier, i skipped the photo critique.

1st: meh. it doesn't evoke anything in me, but there's nothing really wrong with it, either. i'm a fan of wider angles and wider framing, so maybe that woulda done it for me. to me, in general, this photo is just a blah.

2nd: subject is present and framed decently, but subject is also done to death. something didn't feel right about it, and mr vale up there might have nailed it; the saturation looks almost fake.

I think a little DOF adjustment would have helped out the first one. Also, its a bit crooked.

Strong foreground subject in the first, but a boring subject (perhaps because I don't even know what it is). I'd have reduced the DOF to accentuate the subject, the background is too strong. Like Drie said - straighten it up, if you're gonna get some tilt in there do it like the gangsters wear their hats - mad tilt or not at all.

Peeling paint, arrrrrrrgh, tired of seeing this subject. People have shot peeling paint forever, but on UER (to my knowledge) Dobi mastered it then everyone else jumped on his nuts. Maybe it was someone else though *shrugs* either way verdict on peeling paint = played out.
