Canadian Peace Towerby clictacameraComment by srbrubaker: This one creeps up on you. It's not striking or crisp, but the low contrast and literal dullness of the photo manages to convey the dullness of the day. I like it that you have to do a bit of work to see the tower. There's something about the random placement of lighting standards that really disturbs the serenity of the setting and I think it detracts from the photo. But if this photo had been taken by one of the great photographers of all time, this might be seen as a kind of statement about how our best intentioned and best executed attempts to control and improve our environment sometimes take an aesthetic toll. |

too-cold-nobody-out.jpgby clictacameraComment by srbrubaker: Brr! it really evokes the chill of winter. I like the strong lines going to a vanishing point, the gnarled trees, and the ironic sign. The photo has an unpolished look and feel to it, but I've spent a couple hours looking at spit and polish and sometimes the honesty of a competently done, not overthought shot that is from the heart is refeshing.
Keep on taking photos. There's a lot of great stuff to see at this site, but sometimes the ratings promote transient tastes over lasting substance.

human glow bugby clictacameraComment by Artan: Interesting idea, however I feel the effect does not work for me. My initioal impression was of a splodge blocking your lower face and having revisited a few times. This impression remains... |

human glow bugby clictacameraComment by srbrubaker: Keep experimenting. I find this photo completely unbearable to look at because I find the yellow smudges too distracting. And the rest of the photo is dull dull dull also boring and uninteresting. But I know there must be many other ways of using these kinds of lights in a photo. And in that sense the photo is in the vangard. |
