Sabretalon.... I can understand your frustration, and you certainly sound angry. :~/ But you have had answers to other questions here answered, by me and others. I think that judging this forum and gallery on one images lack of responses is not fair to anyone. We try to be helpful when we can be, and if you have followed any of the other recent threads you would have seen that most people prefer not to critique images in the gallery, but here in the forum. Maybe had you posted the actual image here and not in the gallery it would have gotten some replies here. shrug I cannot speak for anyone but myself, and quite honestly I must have missed it.... When requesting a critique it's helpful to let others know exactly what you want from them. I've found the image in your gallery. But quite honestly what do you want others to say? The artistic choices you made with the image, make it very hard to critique as a photograph.... it's gone beyond the realm so to speak from photography into something more (maybe would have done better in 2D gallery?).... there is nothing wrong with that, but personally I care not to judge nor critique peoples artistic choices, as tastes vary from individual to individual, and sometimes I like what others have done and sometimes I don't. Do you like the image, and what you've done to it? Then that is all that matters. So show me the original photograph, ask me what I think and I'll tell you IMHO what I like, and what I think could have been better.... but that's just me.....

I am, therefore I create.......
