No need to be technical, or correct.
So, you've already stated your dislike of monochrome photos, does that mean you dislike all black and white photography?

And you allso said this:



About the burning thing, i think that would go just like whitening the foreground, wouldnt look eny better, just worse. Please show how you would burn those areas your talking about and if it looks better ill belive you.

Burning is making areas darker, not lighter.
But really, the photo isn't that great, it's not worth spending time trying to make it better, because it just isn't that good a photo to start with.

lol what? i wasnt talking about making areas lighter with burning . I asked if you want to show how you would use burning to make it look better, since you told it would get little better(you can prove this by simply burning it to look bit better). Its not about the photo, its about proving that you got no idea about the burning, as you had no idea about making foreground whiter. I find it rather stupid that you tell people what they should do, even tho you cant do it yourself either.

I get the point why you dont like it, but for me the beutifull sky is enough for the photo not being a piece of crap(i dont think this is near my best, but i find it ok), if the foreground was better naturally the pic would be better allso, like if everything else would be perfect on it. You talk and talk whats wrong with this pic(and meny other pics on the forum allso), but i havent seen eny pic from you that doesent fail on same things as you think other peoples photos fail..

i thought dodge makes sections lighter and burn darker (basically)

If you personally like the way it looks why the fuck are you getting upset when I'm telling you I don't like it? My first post in this thread said I didn't care for the composition, anything I posted since were possible suggestions that might make it better, there's absolutely no cure for a badly composited photograph, and unfortunately, I think this photograph is badly composited.

You like the sky, great, but when you're posting stuff online, be ready for some criticism, and don't get offended by it, not everyone is going to like the same things you are.

If you'd like to suggest some things I could change in my photographs then go ahead, I'd be happy to accept some criticism.



That's exactly what dodging and burning in does.

Im not getting upset because you dont like the pic, but i find it rather annoying that someone who dont seem to have eny idea is telling me what to do differently, on things that still can be done better. Allso i find it funny that you talk about composition, since you failed on about all of those few pics you posted on these forums. If you know how the composition should be please tell me how to do it, not just tell its wrong. If you tell me how to do the composition with the critism, then im more than happy to get some critism about the composition or enything else you know what i should have done different. From my point of view, you havent proved you can do enything better in your pics, nor knowing how things should be instead on this pic(you tried this, but failed), you can only tell if you either like or dont like the pic. And someone whos only able to tell if pic is good or not in his point of view, id rather not listen some critism from, because he clearly has no idea.

About that burning thing again, you told me some burning would help a little, now prove it by burning that pic or shut up.

I'm not going to spend my time editting your photographs to make them look better, I've got better things to do.

Which of my photos do you think are badly composed? Here's a link so you can remember the main ones I've posted ( http://www.iamacyborg.com/media/photography/photography.html )

I don't think there's anything you can do to help the composition in that photograph, the location just doesn't look great, so unless you find a way to remove the boring foreground, it's not going to look good, whatever you try.

I thought I'd made it clear why I didn't like the photo in my first comment, but apparently not.

black & white would be achromatic, not monochromatic.

Well i only saw 3 of those pics in these forums before. But enyways i think 10th and the last one of those are composed as they should be imo, meny of them arent badly off tho, but still more or less wrong. 10th and the last one are maybe the most easiest to compose out of those pics, and i dont really find enything good else than the composition on them.. If you want me to tell you what should be done differently i can do that, since i dont really like telling that something is wrong without saying whats wrong, wont be easy on all of them tho to tell in forgein language..

I feel like your not fully understanding what im trying to say on the last post.
