Description Well,strange that a picture of Sarah should make me leave DA as I'm sure it was a pic of Sarah that made me start on DA.

If only I'd known a 'dark spot' cold cause so much grief.

Nothing wrong with this photo.
Please stop ' discussions' in time.
It's not worth it and being furious takes you away from making art (oh, how I wish my English was better!!)
It's your decision to add the photo the way you did. Try not to get into discussions like these.
Just accept the first comment as it is. And get on taking more beautiful pictures like this.

do what you feel is the best for you
think over all pros and cons, I mean long term pros and cons, not only temporary imbalance

I left Polish webgalleries because of fights that I witnessed there. Instead of constructive commenting, people gathered in groups of supporters and kept fighting with other groups or authors only because they dared to critisaze one of their images.
I do not like well known here oh-how-lovely-sweet-cute-image-ing but it is better than fights. Of course all should have the right to tell his/her opinion but long discussions are pointless, even if it would be only to save your time. It is too precious to try convice one who has different (strange? not fair?) opinion. Time is too precious.

I like this photo a lot, the nipple don't disturb me... but I don't understand your reaction.
The young girl told what she felt, where is the problem ? I don't read so well english I guess, because I can't see her rudeness.

well seeing as I am female, the dark outline of a nipple really doesn't do it for me, I think it tarnishes the pure feeling of the photo, it looks like a darkspot.

andrewfphoto In reply to Hell-okitty [2007-08-30 19:41:08 +0000 UTC]

it's meant to, it's a wedding dress worn backwards so the half-showing nipple was meant to be a visual paradox - and I know plenty of females who love nipples and looking at them 'does it for them' - I also notice a lot of nipples in your faves!!!
What's a darkspot BTW?

A

'I also notice a lot of nipples in your faves'

I have nothing against nudity in art as long as its artistic, do you have a problem with that? I just don't think it was necessary in this shot.
and enjoying the female body has nothing to do with this photo, its not even a nipple, its a areola, a drak one at that which purely IMO I think the photo could have done without.

I see your point about the wedding dress, but it doesn't even come across as a wedding dress, I like concepts behind photos, but if you don't explain them when they aren't easily interpreted, they are rendered useless.

and a dark spot is a spot, that is dark.
I wasn't even sure if it was a nipple (areola) in the first place, it just looks like a distracting dark thing.

i'm sorry, i hate to get into this but i feel i need to state the obvious about art... referring to your statement about an artist needing to explain his work if it is not easily interpreted... a work of art can be very complicated and may be interpreted in different ways by different people. art changes its meaning according to who is looking at it... some artists (not only photographers and traditional artists but musicians especially) prefer to let you create your own meaning, therefore they do not feel the need to explain themselves. and why should they for that matter, it is art we are talking about isn't it?

oh and I meant to say, how do you define art? as in this obviously isn't in your definition. So yes, I do have problem with that.
Why do you bother coming here if you only have negatives to impart?

oh dear....well I obviously still ahve a lot to learn then.
Since when were you the art-director of my work?
they are rendered useless - you like your own opinion don't you!!!
Good luck, you'll probably go far......people with strong selfish opinions who are willing to voice them usually do.
I would consider critiquing your images, but I won't waste my time.

Errr, I came on cause I liked your photo.
I'm no photographic genius, I never said I am but I know what I like and dislike, your photo struck me, but there was one thing that bugged me about it, I mentioned it and you turned it into something stupid about nipples, when all I said was, I disliked that part of the photo, then justified that reason.

its your photography tho, do whatever the fuck you want.

if you remember I made a joke about at first and added a wink to say so - then you got on your fucking princess high horse and decided to lecture me about what constituted art. That's when I was pissed off.
No go do the fuck you want. And I imagine it involves photographing yourself.

and btw, the entire "disabling comments, leaving deviantart" is totally OTT.

I can't believe one comment over a nipple made you feel that way, for that I apologize, I have opinions, it's a free world.

If you dislike them so much hide them like the rest of us do when we recieve crits we don't like, drama queen.

you really are a nast little fucker aren't you.
Yours was only the straw that broke the camels back.
I really don't understand why seemingly enjoy winding me up. If you ever wanted to assist in photography do you think is the way that you treat people? It's about simple respect....oh wait a minute, you probably think you can just go and be one don't you.
Mummy and Daddy will buy you all you need and off you go.

You see, calling people names isn't nice and especially over some vicarious manner as DA, where you don't have to say shitty things to peoples faces.....but I suppose you don't give a shit about anyones feelings other than your own.....so live with them. and be happy.

Hell-okitty In reply to andrewfphoto [2007-08-31 21:49:05 +0000 UTC]

Unless you didn't notice sweetheart, you're the one that started calling people names first, just because I'm younger than you doesn't mean my opinion is any less valid or that I deserve any less respect, you're clearly quite insecure if you find me so infuriating, people fuck me right off on DA too, you just deal with it.

and when did I say my art was amazing and better than yours, and that I don't need to work at my own, and I think I am fantastic?
I didn't actually, I think you are a fine photographer, I just think the way you deal with this is highly showing of your intolerance of any kind of crit.

The only reason why I am still replying to you is because you had to make a huge example of me on your journal, which I find, rather hilarious, someone even replied saying they didn't get the wedding dress thing either, stick it in the description, people might appreciate your work more then.

Yes, as you stated I am insecure, very insecure, which DA was a nice place to come - to be amongst like-minded people.
I would rather be insecure than pointedly nasty any time.
You made an example of yourself didn't you. You have shown how you really are. You will now get lots of pageviews and I hope you can cope with the constructive criticism.
