#1-- way to focus on her boobs not her face goonlord

#2-- extremely awkward pose, it looks so uncomfortable I imagine you were probably speaking at the time

#3-- dead looking eyes and blank facial expression, not flattering at all. Good B&W processing tho, keep that for future use.

Please continue to make excuses about why you made these bad photos and get super mad. Before you respond please consider that I made this post as a last minute school assignment, my laptop was hot, and my hugbox was on probation for calling someone a oval office.

Thanks, these are "valid criticisms" i appreciate. Her top was weird and i need to spend a lot more time editing it in the first one for sure. I didn't mean to turn this into a multi-page thing so let's just drop it.

No, you need to focus on her face in the first place instead of her boobs. You can't save a shot with missed focus in editing, no matter how hard you try.

Oh sorry, misread. Yeah. You're right. At that point it was dark and that shoot was basically done so i probably missed the focus. I was just throwing in random poo poo just to be a jerk really.

I do better with other forms of photography and other forms of portraits, and as i was clear to mention - it was my first bikini shoot. I'm still in school. I'll post more, but they'll be more of my style and higher quality from now on.

you dont even understand when you're being made fun of to your face

i follow most people in the dork room, even if i think their photography isn't great or is still very in-progress, i like to think of it as a goofy form of support. it's nice to know your photos are being seen or at least acknowledged sometimes. i see now that i was misguided.

If people think your photos are garbage, learn from it and don't make those mistakes again, defensiveness/aggressiveness is not the answer.

Did you miss the parts where I said thanks to everyone who actually gave criticism? I only snapped at the guy who was a dick. His response was just as out of line as mine. I'm an aggressive person and like to be a dick back about it. But I'd rather hear constructive criticism than fake praise - that wasn't what I was after.

I thought we were done with this, funnily enough i'm the only one posting photos.

I got into photography as a form of self-therapy. It helps me. I get to express myself. I like taking aggressive photos just as much as a beautiful landscape really. To make up for it, here are a couple experiments i've been enjoying, some weird self-portraits that are more my style. The bikini shoot was for school and just wanted to know if my professor would like it.

I was trying to be nice and helpful earlier with providing the tutorial video, but jeez, that single dog photo is so much better in every single aspect than any of the bikini photos you posted here. The difference in quality is almost surreal.

Dog photos that are in focus are good photos. Dog photos that are blurry from action are good photos. Dog photos that are out of focus are good photos. Dog photos.
