Description ... yes, that is correct......




living up... to what they call me...

.
took this when it snowed... my pose is stupid, the idea of me being in the photo is stupid...
but the fact that I am in the photo, is what people pay attention to.. or so it would seem.
[considering that when I submit a nature photo, like the recent conceptual one's... of the destruction of the lot across from my home... people dont even look at them..]

and that really pisses me off. Consider this an experiment, to see if this gets more attention, merely because of my godamn face...
critique discouraged, comments welcome

mm...
I agree with your original idea behind this,
would have been pretty enough without you (not to say you aren't beautiful, enough people have told you you are, but... those are really nice trees. And the angle of your head here is odd, it makes you mouth seem... droopy? I like your hair though.)

When the colours reflect what lives inside. When the subject radiates.

I feel at peace when looking at this photograph. This is beautiful.

PorcelainPoet In reply to UntamedWings [2005-01-29 21:58:24 +0000 UTC]

no I didnt dye it... it's naturally god a red tint in it to the light, and sometimes I like to bring it out more in photos by slightly saturating it...

Thankyou for the comment, I'm glad you like it.

Ha, funny how just when I saw this deviation in my message box I remembered how I wanted to comment on the destruction one. Didn't anyone comment on those two pieces?

Either way, this is good. I love the extension of the background. It goes so far, and it's so beautiful.

Now, now... I love all of the nature shots you do, especially the one with the pond or lake, whatever it was it was very cool...

I like this picture, I think your pose is fine. But.. my eyes did not really go straight to you, they went to the snow covered trees... I like this photo.... but I must say I love the effect on your eye... it is so... calming.. I guess you could say. I don't know thats how I felt when I saw this...

I like it lots!

daughtercrow [2005-01-28 06:35:56 +0000 UTC]

You're absolutely right.
Some of your nature shots absolutely surpass a lot of your self-shots (they're not exactly self-portraits, right?). People love to see a pretty face.
You are a good model and express emotions well through the camera. Sometimes, that's all people want to see.
And I know that, even though the real thing still blows me away sometimes, at other times it's just hard to appreciate a nature shot when you see it so much. And I know from this side of the camera that it's hard to create an INTERESTING, thought-invoking nature shot. You've done it, though-- I remember the shot you had of the yellow leaf on the ground. I also liked your destruction picture with both shots side-by-side.
But I haven't learned specifically anything about the techniques of nature shots, and it's partially true that it takes a certain type of person to truly appreciate it.
And it may take a certain element in the photo (for example, yourself) to help some people realize the true and absolute beauty created by nature. So, maybe you could think of it that way-- bringing lesser levels of thought and view (those, like me sometimes, who have been programmed to see only certain unnatural things beautiful and may take advantage of true natural beauty) to see nature through your personal combinations.

PorcelainPoet In reply to daughtercrow [2005-01-28 06:58:36 +0000 UTC]

I totally appreciate all of that.. and you are right. In most cases, I hate nature shots, because they are so boring...

it's all about capturing it in the right manner to make it awe the on-looker...
which is what I try my best to do.. I dont know.. I never use to have a taste for it, now I do. Now I appreciate nature shots so much...

Anyways, thanks for the comment.. I dont think anyone else has read the description yet....some people just never do... stupid fools....

yeah.. they're avoidant of acknowledging it....

why?
because they know the truth and they dont want to admit it...
