Crop the Irrelevant Crap (And Leave the Crappy Crap)

Originally posted by one2one: You could have dusted off the crap on this cent before taking the shot. Highlights are blown out which makes this image extremely contrasty and not pleasing to the eye. Totally last minute setup, if you could call it that, and it shows. Your crop is way too tight and should have left more of the dotted border in frame. Image is asymmetrical. Apart from that, nice job.

You are incorrect on all counts.

No doubt it'll be considered sacrilege to add a negative comment, but I'm shocked this is what took the blue. To me, it seems very flat in spite of the strong perspective lines. The lighting is bland, and the colors are drab. Then again, the voters rated my stupid coin macro at 6+, so go figure....

Just a crappy picture of Barbie hair.

Pulls the eyes outwards in a reverse-cross-eyed fashion. Uncomfortable.

eta: almost works if you let your eyes defocus magic-eye style.

Wow.

mitalapo makes a great observation, but skewsme's is superior, IMO (sorry). I do prefer the browns in yours, though.

cutout nailed it. IMO, this is one of your finer, artier offerings. I'm surprised you didn't get a posthumous comment on it. I really hate the aspect ratio, though.

Very posthumousy, IMO.

To me, this looks like someone trying to emulate cutout...not that that's a bad thing, mind you.

The empty lifeguard station, "no lifeguard on duty" sign, and the deserted beach are just perfect together. The gull (Sara?) is a great addition. Jutilda's right; some more negative space would be nice as it would further emphasize the irony being depicted. The colors and clarity are very atypical of a Whiterook submission. I'm surprised no one complained about the horizon not being perfectly horizontal. All-in-all, it's very nicely done.
