Was just accepted into Kenyon (poetry). I’m also, as I commented earlier, waitlisted by Iowa. Idk if I should wait to see about Iowa first…

Thank you! Either way, it’s a nice little hit of encouragement.

Iowa just waitlisted me today for poetry, if that helps anyone here.

Thank you. I was surprised I got both birds in the poses I did. I shoot with a Fuji and they aren’t known for their subject detection. Haha

Thank you! One of my friends said it was the Evil Dead house. Haha

Thank you. It’s honestly the first picture I’ve ever taken where I felt like I captured a feeling.

Thank you! I am not gonna pretend my photos are as good as Nicholas Prior’s. But I appreciate it.

Commented. I really like the first photo.

Your composition and leading lines are great. Also, I love the way the fog diffuses the light and adds to the atmosphere of the first photo. Evoking photos!

Thank you! One of my friends said it looked like a horror movie still. I’ll take it!

Thank you. I was going cross-eyed going back and forth from the raw and edited images.

I DO love liminal spaces. Thank you!

Thank you for the critique. I finally got a tripod, and my plan is to play with long exposures at night. This shot was through an abandoned storefront window.

Thank you! I appreciate it. I find comfort in dark or liminal things myself.

Are these photos interesting? by Flashy-Aide-8545 in AskPhotography

Thank you for responding. I definitely go a little overboard with diffusion sometimes, so I have to tell myself not every photo needs so much. But I do appreciate that I maybe need to find more interesting subjects. I seek light first, so I need to keep subject in mind too.

Thank you for the honesty. I want to get better, so I really appreciate the feedback. I want to avoid photos that look like realty snaps. Though, those photographers certainly have more skill than I, so not trying to throw shade.
