I'm not a fan of the crop (to me it looks like the picture uploaded incorrectly - as if it were a mistake and not something purposeful) but obviously you are so I can't say much about that. The other thing that bugs me is the fake lens flare.

@Randi: I can fake with the ''Non-photographer'' haha, but the rounds of lens flare are so fake. So hard. But i didn't know how to do sunlight or more real lens flare!
I'm not a fan of traditional photos (Without pretention) i'm a fan of weird photos and vintage! I can say that ''Traditional'' pictures are so good and clear, etc, but i make my name with my weird photos!
Picasso did square and make human with forms of geometry and that was beautiful.
This is just my vision!

Keep visioning! Maybe one day you'll have the $39 million photo hanging on somebody's wall.


No I'm not a photographer, I just shoot with Canon DSLR with those lenses with red thingy...;)

I see the comment police are out in the 1000arms of the law.

As for the photo, not exactly my cup of tea, but that is what makes art beautiful. Some get it, while others simply do not. Keep on experimenting in the style in which you choose. After all, art is found in many styles.

Comment police police? Not quite. Just a "civilian" who has also had a thread or two hijacked by people who think that it is their duty to tell other people how to post (and how not to post). Glad that you and Jeppoy have had polite conversations - super. I just hold on to the belief that it you care to comment on a person's photo post, you should, indeed, comment on the photo - not other people's posting habits. Notice that I also commented on the photo, in my previous post. My opinion - take it, leave it, or some other option.

Well, you all could just use the report button and leave the comment policing to the moderators. Right?

What was this thread about? Oh yeah, potty pictures, Right!

I want my 5 minutes back please. :rolleyes:

To the OP: Interesting image and I may see what you were intending to do with your image. My suggestion would be to take a look at some of those old, faded images from the late 60's, early 70's to see what interests you so much about them and try to copy those elements if you can. The yellow fading of your PP is just too over the top. Heck, my parents images of us growing up in the late 60's aren't even that yellow now days. But what I think you are missing here is some real interest in these images. So it's a structure with the door open. So it's a structure where people poop in it. Why is that interesting?

I'll totally protect your right to do art as you see fit, but I also get to say what I like as well. I don't like what you produced.

But you're sincere, i like!

This is an old picture, i think i grow a little up in my ideas.
I've learned the photography is more than this. I know. I did'nt take long time to realize that ''Vintage'' effect's was not appropriate for those pictures. Look great, but i need to control wich pictures need's and why. Anyways, i was in an easy way to make pictures.
