I was asked to give a comment on this picture, but before my reaction a few words in advance.
Although, being a professional photographer for 37 years specialised in advertising, I realize I'm still a novice as a member here at Caedes.
I understand that most pictures here at Caedes are taken by amateurs so I realize they can not be judged on a professional level, but.... it strikes me that most comments from other members are usually (if not always), expressed in terms as "good, fantastic, well-done, etc", although many pictures I see here at Caedes are not "as good" as the comments want me to believe.
I understand that in most cases the reason for this is well-intentioned but therefore also meaningless.
It is my believe that any comment should be honest and not out off politeness and therefor by definition complimentary, a comment should be fair and if necessary also with criticism or even destructive if this will help the maker (maybe) in making better pictures.
So any comment I'm asked to give will be, taking into account that a picture is taken by an amateur, still be honest. I am aware that my kind of comment will not leave me many friends.
So, seeing your other posted pictures, it's something you're pleased with, somewhat different than your previous uploads.
No Name??? No age???
Can't make up my mind about this picture... Art? maybe. Blunder? maybe. You tell me. Could be both for me.
Well, I don't like when there are no names, age, and I don't know what they are hiding. They are not criminals, I hope, and we are not police. LOL But, anyway, my opinion, this is maybe some collage with leaves, but they are too many, it's crowded. The only thing here that I like are the colors. So, I am aware that you know that I am far from a professional. But, I was asked and I am obidient, I always fulfil my duties. LOL
Wow evertvankuik! :) thanks for the commentary. I'll be sure to remember that when posting on other people's photos. Also so I put in some personal info which I think may make people a little more comfortable. So I would definitely call myself an amateur but that doesn't stop me from my love of capturing moments. Thanks all! Happy viewing
