Out of the Box round II

To see where it stands. I've been shooting for 16 years or so and to be honest I am bored to tears with much of what I see these days. So I dabble into the netherworld and see how that fares here in literal land.

From what I've seen your venture out of the box has worked well. Interesting photos, I'm just not as sure about this one since the image appears to be subordinate to the texture. Which I guess is 'out of the box'.

I really don't care much about the opinion of others for one simple reason: diversity of taste
I do enjoy the sport of art however and free reign to create regardless of whether it maps into the paradigm, knowledge, and language of the viewer.

Then why post this in the critique forum?

This is the critique section of the forum. If you just want to post your images without "the opinion of others" then post them in a different forum instead of defending your work.

This was an interesting study Dave. I started with the textured water and car lights which by itself was entertaining. I added the portrait but because of the exclusion it was printing as a negative so I inverted it and played with levels. There's a lot of different directions to go and mostly I am getting a feel for composite work. I find the pieces interesting though that doesn't necessarily translate so I post them to see where others are at with it.

But you don't seem to care, so again why post them in Critique?

more monkey spank ... get on with your critique or cease ... capiche?

I gave you several, which you ignored and posted random mumbo-jumbo, others critique and you then say you don't care what people think. And now you are asking for critique? I think I'm done with this thread.

Because I like to watch you squirm in your drawers as I tell you your POV is essentially worthless to me. It brings great pleasure to know that you are drawn to such torture. You left your critique what else do you want? Claire didn't even bother with a critique she is in your camp with questions of moral direction and applicability here in CC.

Ok Jetcode I'm done here. I did give you a critique. As a matter of fact I was the first one to respond to your posting. Now regretting it. You definitely have a problem with others disagreeing with you.

OK Claire I reread your original critique. I haven't been keeping very good track. Thank you. What kind of monitor are you viewing on? Thanks.

(this pertains to every one who offers critique from my POV)
I don't have a problem with others disagreeing I have a problem with being expected to see it their way just because they have a different opinion. I take all the information in but don't expect me to change because of the exchange. I may in the future and sometimes do.

Thanks for the critique everyone.
