what do you think guys ?

 

i think you were told already that you can't use pictures taken before the POTM month
on a technical side the picture does nothing to me. it had no subject, it's too blurred, even if you went for the abstract look, it's not abstract enough, you can easily tell it's street lights. basically a shot with no technical or artistical challenge whatsoever

Sorry for being harsh, but thats just how i feel about this pic

 

Thanks ssR for your tips sorry It's my bad. Good luck for you ..

 

I would agree with ssR. The photo doesn't really have a subject. I see that it's a bunch of street lights at night, but I don't really any true subject or focus for my attention.

On a side note, for future submissions I would recommend that you leave your name off of the photo. Having your name in big red letters totally distracts from the photo. If you feel like you have to sign your photos, make your name subtle so that it doesn't become the center of attention. Also, the signature is a little misleading - at first I thought you had a Bit-Tech e-mail address.

Thanks for the sig tip buddy I'm learning new thing from you guys every day

I will consider that on my next photos thanks a lot really

 

Very bad picture imo.

 

Why? give me some tips to avoid them in next photo

 

I think Supermonkey did that, but let me fill in a bit.


When you first look at a picture, what is the first thing you notice/the first thing your eyes rest on?

If the answer is "nothing" or "Huh?" then you are doing something wrong.


For a picture to be good there need to be something to attract our attention. If there isn't the mind gets bored and starts thinking of something else.
When looking at your picture I notice some lights, look at them and can't really rest my eyes on them, and then start searching for something to look at. problem is that there isn't anything in the frame (other than your name) that's relaxing to look at, unfortunately.

I hope that explains a bit for you

 

yup I know that supermonkey Said what's wrong but wanted to get another point of view

thanks Smilodon I will do better next photo. Thanks

 

Very bad critique IMO. Actually, your statement wasn't even a critique; its just a statement. As stated, you needed to provide input as to why you believe his picture was "very bad".

Regarding the photo, anyone can stick their camera outside a moving car and snap a pic. So yes, make some kind of subject in it or reduce the amount of elements in your photo so you don't have to do too much mystery solving of what it is the artist is trying to say or express.

 

Anyone with an IQ over 45 can figure out what my statement meant and why.

Exactly, you said it yourself, there is no quality to the picture at all, there is no subject, there is too much craziness, and it's just a picture that is not good imo.

I'm a straight to the point kinda guy, if I don't like something, I'll say it even without stating why.

 

Major: the point is, we are here to give and receive feedback. the point of constructive criticism is to give the artist food for thought and explain to him WHAT you like or DONT like about certain picture, so he can learn from his mistakes. if you just go out and say "this is a pile of ****" you give him nothing to think about. you don't actually help him improve. same goes for positive feedback too, saying "i like this pic" can do more harm than good. i mean, ok... so he likes the pic... great... it's perfect, i can just sit back and relax now, i've reached my goal.

there's no such thing as "i dont like it, but i dont know why" There must be something about it that bothers you. It's a whole different story if you find it hard to express yourself though.
with this said i think the IQ thing has nothing to do with your statement, i think only a person with telepathic abilities can figure out what the hell you dont like about that pic

 

Exactly You brother really understands me

 

Let's not question people's intelligences. Its not an issue of intelligence but rather blindness on part of the artist. They may like it and think its great, but they need people to explain why its really not. So while I concur in that its not a good photo, there is an explanation as to why I don't. Question to the people giving feedback is, exactly as ssR states, "Why?"

+1

 

Don't want to create an argument here.

Like I've said, the image is too messy, there is no subject to it, it has a bad angle to it and it's an image that is quite easy to take with any camera. A picture to me has to be unique, it has to be different, has to have the wow factor to it. This picture doesn't have any factor at all. You should get a tripod possibly, set it up on a nice angle looking towards the direction of the road, and take 50 pictures until you get a picture that is unique.

Out of all my 1000's of images, I guess I only have around 300 "decent" images which I will show to people, the rest are not good to me because photography has to be unique and not just some picture. I guess I'm being harsh, might be the mood I'm in, but the picture does nothing for me.

 

Not starting an argument. Just letting you know to be more constructive when critiquing. And what you just wrote is more helpful to the artist than "I don't like it"

 

The problem I'm having with the photo is that it looks like camera shake, nothing more. If you want motion, get a tripod, set the camera on it, and then play with your shutter speeds. Then, you'll have the background in focus, and lit objects will move in the foreground. It would make for a much more interesting composition.

 

The backrounds really distracting, but the whole shape thing has potential with some alterations. If it where my pic, I'd isolate the bright areas and black out all the rest, then your left with only those abstract lines. But right now I don't see any subject, there's too much going on.
