Rick Joyce Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · Old Man Take a Look at My Life Take a look Nov 20, 2009 at 02:43 AM

squareeyez Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #2 · Old Man Take a Look at My Life title caught my interest; great song. what's the story here? Nov 20, 2009 at 02:52 AM

Steady Hand Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #3 · Old Man Take a Look at My Life Interesting example of a face framed by an object in the foreground. I like this better than most...the uniform and colors lend a graphic feel to the image, and the man's profile is small, but there. Nov 20, 2009 at 02:33 PM

bridow Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · Old Man Take a Look at My Life Good thought, but I think it would have been better if the face was focused. Nov 20, 2009 at 02:55 PM

j.curtis Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #6 · Old Man Take a Look at My Life I had to look at it a couple times before I even saw the "subject". Also the "subject" is OOF makes it worse. IMO doesn't work. Nov 20, 2009 at 07:31 PM

photosenior Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #7 · Old Man Take a Look at My Life I think with the associated tittle the oof face works fine. Nice idea! Do you have other shots from this? thanks for sharing Nov 20, 2009 at 08:41 PM

We might have had then a subject against an undistinguishable blur of black, red and yellow. Nov 20, 2009 at 08:59 PM

friscoron Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #9 · Old Man Take a Look at My Life Your explanation makes sense, Rick, but I think what we're saying is that this framing did not work because the subject is out of focus and what you used to frame him is in focus -- but there's nothing that really catches your attention. It took me a moment to find the man in the background and because he was OOF, my attention did not stay there. I kept trying to figure out what this photograph was about. It's a great concept, but IMO it just didn't work. I hope this helps in some way. Nov 21, 2009 at 01:56 AM

Don't cuss on a public forum. It shows bad manners and poor judgment. Some people will find it offensive or rude. ________________ Regarding photos posted here (as above) my remarks are often "critical" but may not be negative. I look for the positive values of the image, the achievement of the intended goal (sometimes one has to assume what that is if the OP does not say), and the emotional impression of the image. Above and beyond looking at the "technical" aspects of an image, I look for the emotions, the expressions, the "feeling" and the creative use of many elements such as light, form, composition, humor, etc. So, each image I view is looked at with a "critical" eye. Some I see have more value or interest because of their content or their effort or their impression. So, for example, this image is something I find more interesting and creative than many of the "technically perfect" images posted here. This image took a different way of looking at the scene (or view) and presented as it is, I like the composition and color. I hope that helps you and others better understand my POV.

runamuck Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #13 · Old Man Take a Look at My Life I had to look at it several times before I realized what it was. Sorry, it just doesn't work for me. Nov 21, 2009 at 06:04 AM

StalfoS Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #14 · Old Man Take a Look at My Life I dig it. I like the non standard composition. I like that you have to look twice to figure out what you are looking at. If focus was on the man.. It might be a bit more powerful. Nov 21, 2009 at 06:08 AM
