RE: Nude By Nature

in #photography6 years ago

I wonder how you decided to post all of these. Three of them have minor variations amongst themselves and, yes, present that common mistake when a person's important lines are tangent to other important lines in the surrounding. Like, when the head of the person happens to end on a horizontal line of landscape.
Well, since it's a nude, attracts a lot of enthousiasm, but as photographs, there's no rationale for posting no. 2, no. 4, no. 5 and no. 6.

Sort:  

I already beat myself up about the horizon cutting my head, and there is always things that can be improved. I am here to share my story and my progress, it's baby steps and I could never put out anything if I thought that the image has to be absolutely perfect in order to be viewed. Saying that something only attracts attention because there is some bare skin, makes you look like a whiny little bitch. Try not to rationalise art.

Well, to get better in photography or art you need to rationalize a bit. There are such things as composition rules, knowing about them usually helps. To me, it's a big question why did you choose to post three similarly cut photos is the one that bugs me. The greatest impact for a scene you get with only one photograph. When you post more than one, the wow effect is reduced by half, four times, a.s.o.

I was admiring Eve. I didn't notice about the horizon.

Quite nitpicking, aren't you?

yes. if you are not willing to let the others help you see your work with their eyes, don't show it to them.

Well, that's constructive criticism and I can't argue with you about that.
