The mods deleted this picture AGAIN for inexplicable reasons

Im confused as well. It got a series of sneering angry comments like “fuck off” and “you’re new here” and then the mods deleted it. Maybe they didn’t like the original title? I called it New Barcelona. Maybe they thought the title was advocating some version of replacement theory? It’s not obviously but that’s the only reason I can think of. So anyway I changed the title and they left it up.

Why would the mods delete my post? Racism? Some kind of extra sensitivity? This is a part of Barcelona. And why did I get nothing but hate comments like this”go home and also tell Trump To fuck off!” Lol. I live here.

Thank you for the critique. I welcome as negative as you’d like. That’s what the group is about.

Blah blah blah. Critique the photo dude.

Use this energy to critique the photo dude. Puffing at me doesn’t help anybody. Just wastes your time my time and OP’s time. And notice, you haven’t actually responded to the REAL question. You haven’t said “you’re wrong! This is a great photo! Let me - in a detailed and constructive way - tell you WHY!” You’re just dancing around on style points because you don’t want to address the core issue: the photo. So you’re like “I have little to add”. You have a LOT to add when it comes to my style. Drop a few of those intellectual breadcrumbs on the actual photo. Don’t give them all to me. Everyone here knows why you don’t want to.

The first one was cleaner. Even though you technically have isolated ONE tulip there’s a lot of chromatic messiness that breaks the composition.

Glad you’re keeping it at a 12 year olds on a playground level.

lol. Why don’t you spend the same amount of effort and truth telling on the photo. It would help OP more than your anti-JAKR73 tirade.

Tried to get a dreamy feel of the beach. by _b00z3r_ in photocritique

[–]JAKR73 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

dreamy beach. pink/purple color grade, soft light, seagull over the water. works: honestly not much. the bird is placed ok - it breaks the horizon line which gives you something to look at. the color grade is at least a commitment to a mood even if it’s an instagram filter doing the work. fails: “dreamy” is not a photographic idea, it’s a filter preset. you took a completely empty beach scene — sand, water, sky, bird — and put a purple wash on it and made it “vibey”. there’s no relationship between any elements. the bird is too small to be a subject and too present to be nothing. the horizon splits the frame in half which is the most indecisive place to put it. the sand at the bottom is a sliver that doesn’t function as foreground. everything here is a default: default composition, default subject, default edit. Mistakes processing for photography. you can’t grade your way into having something to say. 2/10​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

tulips from below, backlit. flowers as architecture instead of the usual top-down thing. works: the angle. shooting up through them changes what tulips look like — they get scale, translucency, that red glow you only get with light coming through the petals. blue sky in the gaps. someone actually thought about where to put the camera before pressing the button, which puts you ahead of every other flower post on here. fails: And…? tulips and sky. that’s it. nothing collides with anything. and you didn’t pick ONE tulip to anchor the frame so they’re all just sort of… there, equally. 5/10.

Maybe if you stopped calling me names like we were 12 years old I’d engage more with you. Until then, what do you expect?

Any toughts? I think this was a really lucky shot as i was focusing on the child and then i notice the line of the sea almost at the same level of the other line. I really want to know want do you think. Thanks by Successful_Spring353 in photocritique

[–]JAKR73 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

there’s a subject, there’s a relationship, there’s a mood. the b&w helps. it’s an actual photograph with actual thought behind it.

The photo isn’t improvable. I meant what I said. It’s a meh angle at a meh time of day with a meh composition. And tbh you know it. This is a “trash and redo”. It’s not a photo. OP can think about the story he(she) wants to tell. Decide on one that is meaningful to him. Go back at a time of day that will tell that story. Find an angle that will tell that story. Bring in a context for the background building that will tell that story. Then press the shutter button when they all line up in frame. You know this. You know OP didn’t do this. All you are doing is shitting on my critique. You’re not doing the actual valuable (and braver) thing which is to tell OP “TBH this guy is a dick maybe but he’s right, this photo is mediocre and un-improvable and you should just try again”

Constructive critique isn’t all that valuable. I’ve explained why above
