I prefer the ones you posted in the landscape thread but the top one is great as it is here too.

Of the two in that thread I preferred the bottom one but the bottom one in this thread just doesn't do it for me. It doesn't have the same strength of composition as if the objects were placed with a balanced photograph in mind

Thanks, I can see that. On the second one here I liked that it was easier to see the roll of fence. Maybe I should have tried given it more weight if not going the route I went in the landscape thread.

i'm not saying don't post but that processing is extremely overwrought and the sort of thing that this forum mocked for a decade. there's an entire thread dedicated to poking fun at images with that treatment. the 2nd especially, it's just been cooked so much

Full disclosure on a few things here, folks. I do actually know my way around a camera and editing. The gate pic was an experiment of sorts showing the extremes in Luminar AI if you throw every option and slider at a photo. Yes, it was intentionally overcooked. The sky isn't even real, that can now be faked in, the flare is fake, haze was added, etc. It was a throwaway photo from a year ago that wasn't in focus and as a case study in being able to turn a crap shot into a salvageable shot I started messing with it. Once I learned that you can literally paint a new scene in Luminar I went nuts trying to make a photo that actually looked painted. I wanted to see what I could pull out of a photo that I normally would delete. So yes, overcooked but for a purpose.

The Kodak 120 was shot on a $15 plastic holga in a series where I was learning not only to shoot film for the first time, but on a janky throwaway camera that falls apart when you try to load film.

You all didn't know that background, but I'm saddened that as artists we are tearing others down instead of building them up.

i'm going to be a better poster than i used to be and just not respond to that. good luck with your experimentation, i hope you can make something good of it

If you want a hugbox to farm congratulations for your art, make a facebook group.

In these parts you get torn down so you can build back up the right way.

I think I'm pretty hip to that criterion.

so then what are you on about?

we don't need to know any background on how those images were made to know they're terrible.
experiment, sure, but don't be a crybaby crying about people tearing you down because they call your terrible photos terrible.

learn to take criticism. the criticism for these pics? way overcooked, never do that again.

Also sky replacement is the HDR of the 2020's, let us never speak of it again.

Part of my art, off this board, is people's reaction to art and the psychology behind it. So it's interesting to me to see fellow artists telling someone to not do art a certain way, to stop making art, or just generally calling them terrible. It doesn't lend to growing a community of like-minded individuals. Creative criticism and being kind to others is different, as seen in the approach of bellows, and my hat is off to you, goon.
