| 683565 | 2008-06-29 22:14:00 | An honest opinion, simply expressed by a keen amateur who has won a couple of awards over umpteen years of trying: It is far too busy, there is no focal point to draw the eye, and photoshop won't fix it because it will no longer be the photograph you took. Look for simpler subjects that can be better framed. Like others who have responded, I take multiple photos to help me get the best out of a scene, minor changes in perspective can often make an average photo outstanding. Don't be afraid to lie on the floor to get the perspective you want. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

Not certain that it has artistic merit but the contrast of the two colours is good. Jen is obviously a fan of the colours as well. I do believe that a picture needs to tell a story. Unfortunately, yours does not seem to do that. But don't let criticism stop you experimenting. Take the criticism into account when you snap your next one - and don't stop. Take some more and let us see the results.:) |

At our photographic club, which I have very recently joined and have not submitted this image to (and now won't), a speaker at the last session said that the image must have a message, to be successful. Thinking about this one it does not have a message. It is just a pleasing image and interesting, to me. Mrs Misty and I like Art Deco and perhaps there is a bit of that feel, as someone earlier said. I will definitely keep experimenting. Had a feeling this one would be controversial, though a wee bit surprised that quite so negative. Still I have a thick skin on this and certainly not put out. Misty :D |

| 683571 | 2008-06-30 06:27:00 | I like it. The motorised "manual" fans are intrigueing! The colour consultant who did the decoration would be pleased with the result too, I reckon. | rumpty (2863) | ||

Misty :D Bit of advise when submitting a photo for "critiqueing," put on your thickest skin. Some comments may seem a bit harsh while others will be complements, they will all be useful. Even the best designers, photographers and creative types ALL get subjected to harsh comments at some stage when they submit their works for critiqueing. |
