Portia - Contradiction

[Deadpoet]

I suppose you've offended so many people you forget which are the ones you did.

Honestly, you can take your comments and shove it where the sun don't shine; at least you're not so thick skinned you don't know when you're not welcome. Your comments in my threads or to anything I've said will not be missed.



This is why even though you might be good, you will never be great; you have forgotten the simple joy of interacting with your subject, your surrounding, what you see.

So yeah, go away. And stay away.

Now that you want me to stay away, I have changed my mind.

I have definately offended a lot and there are so many of them, I lost count. You are right, I can't even remember whom they are. Let's add you to the list and be forgotten.

As far as whether I am good or great, or hopless, well, it's really irrevelent. I don't care. I shoot the way I shoot, and slam you the way I like to slam. Simple. See you around. Post some more pictures?

I'm glad you liked the picture. The contradictions occur when you factor in another dimension to the composition of the image, and it has more to do with the interaction with her rather than the actual image itself. Those thoughts are personal, and I'm not sure if it's appropriate for the forum, so I left them out.

So if I get what you are trying to say, you title the thread "Contradiction" but are not going to share why it is titled as such? :think:

Anyway on to the photo, I like the dreamy effect in the photo, but not the way the hand falls out of the frame. It leads the viewer away from the face.

I have already posted some. You are welcome to go critique.

Among other things, it's a way for people to differentiate between this post and other posts with the same model; I could've used a number or a date, but chose this word because it means something to me.

Also, when a title is abstract, readers tend to interpret it their own way (much like the actual photo, as evidenced, though that is hardly abstract.); I wanted to see what others thought the contradiction was.

erm..im no portrait shooter but i find that the whole pic being out of focus imho is quite disconcerting.
It may work for some,but definitely not me

contradiction of producing a bad product with good input? coz that's the only one i see here. o you mentioned posting more shots...where are they?

...

johnnyM - it's a nice shot.


who gives a crap about focus - it clearly isn't the main issue here, just that it seems like so many people are like so concerned about their photos not being sharp.


but then again, since the early days of CS, since when has anybody not been concerned about their photos not being sharp and in-focus?

 

[eow]

English please, if you don't mind???

curious....are u a caucasian?

 

[Chris Lim]

i pretty much like the framing of this pic. But i think the issue if not about the focus. the focus is well... sort of there. i suspect the compression too some of the quality away for one. the next is...

the thing i guess most ppl here are anal about is the face area not being in focus. I took a closer look... and asked myself.... was she moving when you pushed the trigger? Cos it sure looks like she did.

so if you like it... then i guess its ur personal preferance.

 

[waileong]

Sometimes people get too obssessed with focus. Or with shooting the face. Or with "proper" exposure.

If every photo in this world was tack sharp and properly exposed, how boring photography would be!!!

That's why there are a lot of masterpieces which, even if they're not sharp, remain as masterpieces to this day.

犯贱。

This word is crude. Check your language.

 

[silver.wolf]

i agree that good pictures don't have to be sharp at all times

but not for this picture

 

[silver.wolf]

Yeah, TS better checks his language :nono:

 

[g-khoo]

Seems like another garou vs joho war going on here.

What's happening to club snap?? Lol.

eh dun like that.. this is not the kind of "publicity" i need ahhahaha..

no wars going around lar!

 

[sequitur]

to TS, you lost your stand the moment you used the phrase 犯贱. thats absolutely the RUDEST comment/reply i ever come across in clubsnap.

if you want to prove a point, do it graciously. DP can say pictures belong to the trash, it may not sound nice but i can still take it as a factual statement from his point of view.

but 犯贱 is a direct insult. face it, you are being too personal here, right from the start. photography aside, i think your cyber mannerism reflects very badly on your character.

in fact, i think you owe DP an open apology.

be a gentlemen, watch your language.

not taking sides here,

but i think the rudest comments are those nosebleed ones, unfortunately.

 

[juste_millieu]

Somehow, don't know why :dunno:, I love this pic :sweat:
She give a nice feel, her smile is sweet.

 

[night86mare]

Don't like critique don't put pictures up.

You seem to defend yourself against every negative comment.

And I don't understand why people are calling DP Dumbpoet, he may be bull-headed, and thick-skulled since he seems to like encouraging people flaming him.. But he is not dumb. Reporting a number of posts here. Suggest self-censorship before it gets any further.

 

[hobbit6003]

All these self-proclaim artist....shoot a OOF and call it art....tsk, tsk...

Seriously, the picture, other than the girl which can be considered a looker, there's nothing appealing to me. My son's portrait of me is also something like that....

Is my focus off? No leh, I purposely shoot like that to tulan people like you, I think I hit the nail right on the spot! Hahhaha.

Or are you just spoiling for a fight with the above flamebait? Immature....
