Fabric soil (9 images theme)

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Krystian,

Once again your perceptive eye and lateral approach leave me gobsmacked.

Frames 5, 8, & 9 are the pick of them for me, somehow the others are a little too literal for me - as you might gather I revel in the more abstract extractions from a motif - but those three can be anything we want them to be.

Number 9 the main one, however, and I would love to see it printed really large - like 3 metres or something similar - and filling a space in a white void.

I guess that one of the down-sides to DSLR capture is that such enlargement might not be possible.

Sorry Krystian, I'm going to have to go against on this one and say it's not as good as your last post.

Great ideas, but I prefer the last two. Nice and simple. The shadow silhouettes are too busy for me.

Kipper, if it had a bird as a shadow I'm sure it would have received your approval? :P :P

His other shots didn't have birds in them, yet they appealed to me.

Thanks for your feedback guys :)


Sheetshooter, I agree that frames you picked up are the most abstract and have to most potencial. Nineth one is definitelly good way to close the theme. Since I wanted to do it as a series there always will be better and worse shoots :) Also being better photographer at the time would result into higher overall level. Good side is that there is still room for improvement. Otherwise photography could start to be boring ;)

I still, after dusting out, like this series.

Number 9 the main one, however, and I would love to see it printed really large - like 3 metres or something similar - and filling a space in a white void.

I guess that one of the down-sides to DSLR capture is that such enlargement might not be possible.


I would like to see it that size print. Maybe it could be not that bad. 3000px wide and 3m print give 1px per 1mm. From a distance could be allright ;-)

Thats allright. We all have different tastes and insterest and dont have to like all the same. I still appreciate your response since It teaches me how other people see the world.

I agree that last too shots are good, but I tried to make a story, so I look at that as a whole thing rather Appreciate your response :)


Thanks again guys.
