First of all- I would like to display a quote by RYNO-a FORMER Renerosity artist- that I find very very true. he hit it right on the head with this!
"If you want viewings, post pin ups.
If you want comments, post pets, people, or flowers.
If you want to really explore what is possible as an artistic expression - persist."
How true this is.... It's kind of sad when you look to see what kind of images are being looked at on this site. Not only is the above comment so true, but also it seems to be quite "cliquish." In other words- people will list favorite artists based on the comments that are made on their images- and vice versa.
Also, it seems that most people on here DO NOT have a clue how to critique an image. Why is it that people will say things like "cute cat" or "wow- such a pretty girl," or just comment on the SUBJECT rather than what the photograph is and/or what it conveys? Along with that, some people on here seem to resent even getting a true critique telling them how to improve the image. I often get "nastygrams" sent to me in my messages because I went against the grain of people just saying how pretty the subject is, or how great the POV is, or just what a cool pic it is. I like to tell what I see in it and how to maybe improve it if needed.
Personally, I much prefer people telling me about my image itself. I dont care if someone has the same kind of car that I took a photo of- or the person, place, or object in my image is nice looking. PLEASE tell me about the image.
I apologize for my cynicsm... but this is just one of the sites I post my work on and it by far- has the longest way to go when it comes to people knowing how to actually comment on artwork.

you should've highlight a little the shadows and than postwork...I like it anyway, but maybe because of the low resolution, the shadow that appears in the right side of the picture looks like a big hole in the scene...have a nice day!

I know how hard it is to get the right balance with contrast. Especially changing to this tone. Like the look.

This looks like a long forgoten corner of a park, the perfect place to read a book, or make out! ;)

As I wonder through your gallery, I am delighted by your eye and interpretation of rather simple objects and making them special in the composition and treatment in post digital darkroom. This image also lends itself very much to the work of French photographer Eugene Atget. He would be very pleased as I am delighted in having viewed it. Thank you.
