The new resurrected image critique thread

view profile

Dr Karanka says:

I'm bored today.

Drop one image per week. You'll get somebody to say something about it. Once this gets full of shit, it will be canned. Enjoy. You don't need to be too constructive, but you know, some insults are cool, and some not.

Don't post your image until someone has posted a review of the last image in the thread. If you post an image before the previous image is reviewed, your image may be deleted. Also, post medium sized images only. Small images will be deleted.



-------------------------------------------------------------------
instructions on posting medium sized images:



- go to ur image.
- click the "down arrow" on the button above your image that has the mail, twitter, and facebook icon.
- click on "grab the HTML/BBCode"
- on dropdown menu select "medium 500"
- copy the html jargon
- paste html jargon in reply box on the discussion page
- fin.


(thanks kaamer)

eh...karanka what's the deal? deliberate snapshottery, crass exposure, cheesy flash and 'seemingly' arbitary composition - I like it!!
However, if someone hadn't seen your photostream they might think you were uploading your holiday photos from the early nineties taken with a disposable camera.

I mean it is soft and unexciting - it's a mobile phone shot, they are very soft. I still quite like it though in a kind of moronic way.
I didn't mean correct as in predictable and conservative (you weren't really worried about that were you!?)

Surely - neat place it seems. Not much going on, action wise or comp wise, just everyone standing around and not even arranged in a particularly neat way. I like the colors, blue outside, lots of repeating brown and red on the inside.

stef_R, very nice! it sort of reminds me of a Winogrand picture, the one on the cover of his awesome 'Figments' book. Splendid suburbia 'dullness'..
I would like the kid to be further from the garden under, to 'bounce' out a little more from the picture.. And maybe I would crop a slice from the left to have less of those uninteresting clouds and center the frame more on the red car and kid. Cheers

senor evez says:

The left side gives you the two roads that lead towards the viewer and away into the distance though. A lot of the success of this shot for me is the three roads and their meeting point, the lampost and the car. The relationship between the child and the car is strange and that's the thing that makes me imagine some kind of story. Interesting because at first I liked it's calmness and normality.

The best thread on flickr is back. I've been complaining so much that I quite feel guilty. Well, after all, why shall I feel guilty if it has been closed by someone else (I won't say by Karanka 'cause it'd be unkind :p).

I'm so glad that I'll submit a picture for the first time. Please, hit hard, I want the old atmosphere back :)



PS: thanks Karanka for opening it again :)
