nice series, is that a real snake?

[khairi]

good first shot, but why the PS?

[sequitur]

you should stop the color/bnw mix thing. it's very irritating. pure colour or pure black and white.

why the weird softness in the first pic ?? uncalled for.

these shots look okay... not exactly impressive or though provoking... but nice try. try harder next time.

I say do what you want - there is no right or wrong in photography so if you like it, do it. I think that selective colouring is a useful technique that can be used to great effect.

Dear sequitur
I will have to run together with Phildate here
...For me, the concept of beauty has always been a debate that is hard to compromise. I think that's why in the definition of beauty, there is only 'preference' and not 'definite'... and I think Art has no Uniform.
Personally, I edit my pictures with my heart... I feel for pictures rather than think about it, and finally I just want to share the images that I took which made me feel happy, in hope that I can make other people feel happy too.
However, I can respect your preference over what you think is beautiful as your photo skills shows.

He is sharing his photos and his way of expressing his taking. I dun see anything wrong with his taste. Maybe you dun like them but your rude comments are really uncalled for. Neither is he asking for comments too.

I do agree thats quite rude using the word "irritating", although everyone are entitled to their own opinions but they should give constructive comments instead.

so true!

[scanner]

xaerm, interesting shots. Since you shot at the flea market, why don't you make it as a simple series out of it? Based on your shots, I assumed you are trying to illustrate to the audience of the daily life of these people. I think pictures with story line would be better to illustrate that.

Good work, keep it up.

What's the difference between Sequitur's comments and GeoYip's? Both were equally unconstructive or constructive at the same time. Why the different treatment to each of them? Sounds like you just want to hear the things you want to hear.

Is "wonderful" constructive?

And sequitur was sharing his comments and his way of expressing these comments. I don't see anything wrong with his taste also. Sequitur didn't ask for comments on his comments either.

I didnt comment on his comments.. I was to rebut him.

Let's see what I see his offensive comments as : See those words in bolded...

Quote: [you should stop the color/bnw mix thing. it's very irritating. pure colour or pure black and white.

Much like a big daddy coaching his son...

Quote: why the weird softness in the first pic ?? uncalled for.

Double question marks and the word "weird"... Sound much like commanding officer to me..

Quote: these shots look okay... not exactly impressive or though provoking... but nice try. try harder next time.

Sound pretty arrogance to me...



If that doesn't bother you, it's ok because my patience threshold is not as high as you. I see the way he replied was rather rude. No one ask for his photos to be trashed, moreover he said he was a newbie (1st time) taking street photographs. Be constructive and not offensive.

Dear Mr LimCB.

Contrary to "Sounds like you just want to hear the things you want to hear"...
I definitely appreciate good comments because it can be a motivator.

I can accept negative comments, PROVIDED that it comes from people who takes pride in their work or postings. And of course, provide criticism with a reason. That is why I rationalise and share my point of view with Sequitar (About Art and Beauty) from my point of view. From Sequitar's comments, I reviewed my pics and thought maybe my pictures were technically incorrect, and re-observe for details that he said to be "UNCALLED FOR"..... UNTIL I saw his postings at:

1. http://forums.clubsnap.org/showthread.php?t=87896
2. http://forums.clubsnap.org/showthread.php?t=87892

Of course, I would then ask: "Would he be someone whom I can learn BETTER photography from?" Gee... maybe the consensus on his postings are telling enough.

...If he is the type to believe that there are no Rules in Photography (I can accept that), then why is he making contradictory statements on other people's posting? Rationalise that.
