Thanks for your comments, zaren, wiz23 and knoxknocks. Always interesting to see how people respond differently to the same subject.

Can't help myself but post more trees...

kind of zarenist? missing feet sharp colours

I don't associate zaren with this kind of image. Anyway, it missed the mark (set by my idol-photographer) by a lot. Should really go get a pair of heels and start planning for this shot again, instead of directly shooting off the street...

Oh! If you wanna see zarenist photo, see the last entry by khairi. :D

Thanks. Still, I should really get some discipline to start a "morbid" series. If you know whose work I was inspired by to take this, you would know it'd definitely fallen very very far from the mark.

No! The main thing is to end what you'd started. :sticktong
Need to end the series I'm doing first, before I start on another. :)

How are the tree and the heels related? Intriguing concept though.
And yar. Was looking at something morbid. Though the greeness is a bit too contradicting to my taste. That's why will seriously look into setting up a similar scene (and others) to create a whole series.

Won't relate trees with morbidity though... they are way too noble for child's plays like these.

Nice! Colour & composition :thumbsup: But the shadow/vignetting in the top left corner a tad distracting :)

Purposely one... ;p
Anyway, it's a sub-standard picture that I'm placing in this bin. The cropping is way too unnatural in my opinion to even merit post-processing.

Wah, your standard very high hor ... Just crop away the crane on the left lah, then it's quite nice already ;) The blue of the sky is beautiful :)

Anyway, i don't think u shld treat your thread as a bin :bsmilie:

Of course standard must be high lah. Else how to improve?
Cropping the crane away? Thought through that before, and decided against it. Why? Cos the perspective with that crane away will be rather formulistic, with a clean background and something of interest in one part of the frame. Like to have something of distinctive irritation to make the whole frame uncomfortable. So, while the treatment of the sky may be similar to that of the tree shot I'd posted quite sometime back (same vignette effect too, which I think gives a big plus to the frame), the composition is purposely done to disturb the perspective. Furthermore, the crane to the left offer a stepwise upwards perspective, that is again tilted for discomfort. *Geesh! Why am I even explaining!?*

It's a bin, cos I keep on throwing incoherent ideas into it. It's just like words I scribble on pieces of paper, which I feel disappointed that it doesn't follow a certain theme I had in mind, crumble it up, and throw into the bin. Those words alone may be statements, may be groans, may express jubilant or sorrow. They are not trash, but I still bin them after all. And this is my bin. Please don't associate bin with just worthless junk. They may be something of value, just that they don't contribute to whatever I really wanted to do at this point in time. Get it?

very different from your other shots. Whilst I don't know who it is inspired by, I do feel the sense of loss when looking at the pic.

I get it now :) Thanks for taking the time to explain things to a philistine like me :bsmilie: I really appreciate your effort :thumbsup:
 

Thanks all for your comments.

knocknoks: that picture was different, cos as what I'd explained to wiz23, I treat this thread as a bin. I don't think anyone would only throw in one consistent type of unwanted work all the time?
p.s. picture inspired by Cindy Sherman (her fairy-tale series :thumbsup: )

wiz23: geesh! I was hoping that I would lose you somewhere... :sticktong
