I've decided to enter one of my photos into the contest, but I can't decide which one. So I've listed a few I want to enter, and you guys tell me which one you like best. Lazy Dog Palms Overcast Shores Pendulum Tylenol with Codeine Bloomin' Onion Sanitary Stepping Stones
They all look too much like stocks rather than art. The dog is the only one I would consider artsy and the post is a failed attempt.
Based on opinions of this thread and opinions of my friends, I'll most likely be entering... Lazy Dog, Palms, Pendulum, or Tylenol and Codeine. I'll wait a bit before I decide, maybe try and get some other views on it as well. @Nitrous: I can see where a couple pictures could be used as stocks, but I guess we can't all have as high standards as you do.
@Kumquat: Not all teens with cameras can take pictures that represent true artistic value. Find another talent.
Oh thank you, I don't think fighting was the point of this thread. You can reply to this if you want, but I'll just ignore it because I can't hear you when your way up on that horse you rode in on.
Your photos look like stocks. They're worthless as an entry into a competition but decent as a canvas. The horse I rode in on doesn't give a damn about your feelings and whether you want to believe me or not, you started it. I stated my opinion and then you called me 'high and mighty.' Maybe you should just accept that sometimes things don't always work out, that everything you do in this world can be considered art but shouldn't be, and that sometimes even the best artists make mistakes or lack the inspiration they need to drive them through the day. Just, please, take the criticism and if you don't like it, move on but do not insult the person for speaking with a bit of honesty that this damn forum lacks.
Seeing as a lot of your liked Tylenol and Codeine, I thought I'd post a few more of my macro shots and see you liked them any better. I also threw in another picture I overlooked before.
