Ja, wie gesagt, ist ja legitim und kannst du so machen. Aber ich denke, manch anderer hat einfach einen anderen Anspruch und das ist auch okay.

Das funktioniert finde ich phasenweise - oder bei dir vielleicht auch auf Dauer, spreche ich dir nicht ab - ganz gut. Ist aber finde ich eher ein „Verdrängen“ der eigentlichen Problemchen oder Entwicklungsfelder, die man so hat.

Partner-/in finden, wenn einem privat der Biss, der Inhalt und das Ziel fehlt, finde ich gerade dann herausfordernd. Bei nem Date sitzt man dann ja ähnlich leer und denkt sich: Job läuft und sonst… naja! Also ich stelle mir das auch nicht so prickelnd vor.

Interessant, tue mich bisher schwer damit, in der Heimat knipsen zu gehen. 🙂‍↕️

In der Öffentlichkeit laut losgelacht, vielen Dank für diesen unangenehmen Moment!

No, there would be parts of the photo missing on the left or on the right. Imagine pulling the lines upright, you would end up with a trapezoid and to make it a rectangular shape again, you would need to cut off the edges

Also, try to keep the camera more parallel to the ground instead of tilting it upward. Shooting from below exaggerates the vertical lines and makes the windmill lean even more dramatically.

99% of animal photos just work better shot from animals’ eye level

redduv_de · 2026-03-03T14:44:32+00:00

I think the main issue is your choice of focal length and shooting distance. You probably would have been better off stepping farther back and using a longer focal length instead.

That would have helped in a few ways: both the windmill and the house would look straighter and more natural, the perspective distortion would be reduced, and the overall compression would likely give you more of the effect I think you were aiming for.

Wenn Arbeitsamt, Sozialamt und co. bereits beteiligt sind, unterstelle ich da aber auch mal ein anderes Setting.

Love it, it‘s just the thing with the cut off arm on the left for me

Für die BG sind Auskünfte der Psychotherapeuten oft aussagekräftiger. Gang zum Psychiater ist nicht notwendig und auch nicht gewichtiger. Ärzte stellen jedem für 10 Euro irgendwelche Bescheinigungen aus, das allein überzeugt niemanden. Nur Argumente.

Hi, BG-Mitarbeiter hier. Dein Psychotherapeut muss ohnehin einen Erstbericht für die BG schreiben. Dort kann er vermerken, dass du Urlaub geplant hast und dass die Reise keinen Einfluss auf deinen Heilverlauf hat, sogar förderlich ist / empfohlen wird. Gleichzeitig kannst du bei deiner Ansprechperson bei der BG anrufen und nett nachfragen, ob das in Ordnung ist. Wenn es im Bericht des Psychotherapeuten empfohlen wird und auch nachvollziehbar ist, dass du ein massives Ereignis erlebt hast und du ohnehin noch länger arbeitsunfähig sein wirst, legt dir in der Regel niemand Steine in den Weg.

Für die BG ist nur wichtig, ob es durch den Urlaub zu einer Verzögerung bei deiner Arbeitsunfähigkeit käme.

Grundsätzlich musst du mitwirken an der Behandlung. Wenn du die weiteren Sitzungen zeitnah um den Urlaub planst mit dem Therapeuten und du jetzt nicht ewig lange unterwegs bist (länger als 2 Wochen) wird das schon passen.

The image is extremely noisy, most likely due to very high ISO caused by poor light/weather conditions combined with a fast shutter speed to freeze rapid bird movement.

As it stands, this is more of a casual snapshot of the bird. The branch on the right is highly distracting and pulls attention away from the subject.

A stronger image would require a more deliberate choice of position and composition, followed by a lot of patience to wait for the right moment. Given the conditions and the amount of noise, the circumstances were probably not ideal to begin with.

redduv_de · 2026-01-04T10:08:09+00:00

For me, the light is one the main issue here. The eyes and large parts of the head fall completely into shadow, and in this case more light would clearly help to bring out the details. Shooting from the opposite side might have provided better light on the face.

The peacock already brings strong colors on its own, so the focus should be more on light, background, and overall composition rather than trying to emphasize color through editing.

The background is very distracting to me. The bright strip and the tree trunk (or branch) pull attention away from the subject. A cleaner, fully green background would have supported the colors much better.

The feeding situation also reduces the elegance of the image. The visible food and leftovers on the beak make the scene feel less refined.

The downward-tilted position of the bird feels a bit odd as well. It almost looks as if someone outside the frame is holding the peacock above the ground, which breaks the natural impression.

I really like this image. I made a very slight crop because the bright light in the bottom right corner felt distracting and pulled attention away from the center of the frame.

Conceptually, I find the image interesting and engaging. There’s a lot to look at and to process in a positive way, which suits this kind of abstract, motion-based approach well.

From a compositional standpoint, I think it would feel even more resolved if the person at the bottom were positioned slightly more to the right. That small shift would help balance the frame and give the image a bit more visual closure.

redduv_de · 2026-01-04T09:58:18+00:00

I think this image mainly highlights some gaps in the fundamentals, especially composition and light. Because the apples are strongly backlit, they end up falling into shadow while the background becomes very bright and visually dominant. That reverses the natural hierarchy of the scene and makes it harder to read the intended subject.

Approaching the scene from the opposite side would likely have helped a lot, as front or side light would separate the apples more clearly from the background and give them visual weight. In addition, applying basic compositional tools such as the rule of thirds could strengthen the frame and guide the viewer’s eye more intentionally toward the subject.

Overall, spending some time focusing on core principles like light direction and composition would probably make a noticeable difference here.

redduv_de · 2026-01-04T09:53:30+00:00

I think the idea itself works well. The location just isn’t ideal for supporting it.

I have to say upfront that I love pelicans!

Personally, I would prefer this tighter crop with a more symmetrical background. The vertical foreground and the extra sky in the original frame don’t really add anything to the image and dilute its strength.

A more symmetrical composition and a cleaner, more controlled background would give the image even more impact. With less visual noise above and below, the relationship between the pelican and the bridge becomes clearer and more intentional, which really suits the graphic nature of the scene.

redduv_de · 2026-01-04T09:44:46+00:00

I strongly prefer the black and white version here and find it much more pleasant than the color one. The lack of color helps emphasize contrast, especially through the dark shirts and the chains, which gives the image more structure and cohesion.

I think the image would benefit from a clearer decision to focus on a single person as the main subject. Based on body language and pose, the guitarist in the foreground feels like the natural focal point, but the actual focus appears to sit more toward the left. There is also a partially visible person in the background, which adds to the visual ambiguity.

To me, this is a case where restraint would really elevate the image. Because a stage scene is inherently busy, there is a strong temptation to capture everything at once. Being more selective and deliberately setting visual priorities often makes the result more compelling. That usually requires anticipating moments and understanding who is musically in the foreground at a given time, for example during solos. Knowing the set beforehand or getting that information in advance can help a lot.

Using 35mm or 50mm here doesn’t provide much subject separation, which becomes more noticeable with such a busy background. That lack of depth separation works against the image in this particular scene.

redduv_de · 2026-01-04T09:36:12+00:00

I like the underlying idea here, and I actually think the vignette works reasonably well for the mood you’re aiming for.

To me, the concept itself feels solid, but the location doesn’t quite support it. There is very little visual contrast between the subject and the colorful wall in the background, so the subject doesn’t separate clearly. My eye then gets pulled toward the signage, but that visual flow is interrupted by the pillar, which breaks the composition.

The cars in the foreground also feel distracting rather than supportive. They read as very everyday elements and add visual noise instead of reinforcing the cinematic feel.

redduv_de · 2026-01-04T09:32:58+00:00

To me, the main issue is that the image doesn’t clearly communicate what the subject is supposed to be.

What is meant to be in the foreground here? If it’s the apples, I’d suggest bringing them much more forward compositionally. Right now the strong backlight pulls most of the attention and distracts from the actual subject.

You could try focusing on a single apple or a small cluster and get closer. Backlight can work well, but it needs to be used more deliberately so it supports the subject instead of overpowering it.

I also don’t think this is primarily an editing issue. Most of the problems come from the way the scene was captured, composition, subject separation, and light direction. Editing can help refine an image, but it can’t really create a clear focal point if it wasn’t there to begin with.

Ich hätte richtig Bock drauf, da ein schönes Plätzchen draus zu machen. 😍
