rimendez everyone is entitled to their own opinions, can't please everyone all of the time. I am sure there are photos of mine people do not like at all. hudsondk chose to make his point.

If we agree or not with his statement, as artists & photographers, criticism comes with the territory, bad or good.

Obviously people do like this photo, proof within the comments he has received. Yes, the photo could have been shot anywhere, but the point of this photo is more so of the geometry highton had kindly pointed out.

It is up to the viewer to take what they can get out of.

Now for the fact this person has no photos himself, always worries me ...

Rafael: I'm agreeing with you in the sense that the jobs of each one are not necessarily good for all people. Nevertheless, ones can expose his opinion with respect and prudence. Then, the criticism is constructive and positive without caring if it is favorable or unfavorable. But this person doesn't do that. It bothered me their pejorative comment and their inadequate opinion. Is it important where was the photo taken? That observation is not reasonable in order to value the quality of a job.

Maybe, my words aren't the more polite words; I accept that; I'm sorry and I apologize with you. But, this was a reaction against the ugly attitude of hundsok.

For me, this point is over with this comment.

HAHA, don't get me wrong, his choice of words were lacking any sort of constructive criticism and I can easily blame that on numerous reasonings behind his unintellegent response without offering an advice or a reasoning behind his construed answer...

And I agree with you whole heartedly as it does get under my skin as well, that people with these notorious comments have no real meaning behind there answers and this is why, I choose to ignore such a blatant, boring, unintellegent, idiotic and yet ignorant comment that he/she made...

No apologies needed btw... but thanks for the thought.

Thankyou for coming to my photo's defense Rimendez and Rafael. I think it was the object of a drive-by shooting ;-)

WOW, nice! i like this "motion"!!

highton-ridley, on November 4, 2008, said:

Thanks Andreas - but I'm not sure where the "motion" is that you mention? Maybe it's poor translation software. In english, motion=movement, if that helps.

Greetings from the UK

No No :) i really mean movement... the curve from low right to mid left, and finnaly, to top right "let" me see a movement, in poor words is like if i see the cars run on the road ;) maybe it look strange to say, but is what i feel ;) well done!! greetings from Italy!

Oh... I see what you mean now! Thanks for the explanation - it's always good to hear how a photo affects different people :)

My Pleasure! i think that a photo is done by two people: who take the fhoto and who watch the photo, what u think about it?

Yes Andrea there's an English saying that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"... I think it's the same thing.

Cheers, mark

I'd love it people came by my blog and said "hi" - I often discuss how I made and processed a particular shot and there's a regular community of folks interested in photography there. See what you're missing out on!
