pointless

can't see shit, cap'n!

>>2854726
Hm, what do you mean by pointless?

>>2854637

actually the light source is too strong, associated with this lack of contrast in general is very distracting from your point, the pencils,

good idea, and try to not follow the thirds rules by it's own patterns

I like the juxtaposition.

Come back with a series of "objects en plain air" with a similar mood and colour palette and you'll have carved out a unique niche in the pantheon.

Everything after that word was just feces and semen spewing from the throat of a filthy fucking faggot. Jesus Christ, that is a disgusting word for 13 year old hipster girls and fucking liberal arts/creative writing majors. Please travel back in time and kill your mother. Rape her first, but be sure to kill her afterwards.

Id say crop out un-necessary elements: the foliage above the grass in the upper left doesnt add anything worth while to the photo- crop it out. The stuff below the lit dead grass below the lower left is a bit un-necesary as well- that idea is expressed elsewhere in the photo, so it is not needed. Also, add some contrast overall.

Im not a photo authority or anything, so take my tips with a grain of salt. The two edits added are on the right track.

I sense an aneurism in your future.

I wanted to argue with this because of the attutude and tone, but I realized that juxtaposition was pretty much the first word I learned (and was my go-to style technique) as a beginner, and while I thought it was super cool and unique back then, realize it's pretty much the third thing they teach you in photo school, after how to use your camera, and rule of thirds.

Rich guy next to a homeless guy
Pretty girl in an ugly dilapidated building
Nice car next to a shitty car
Soft looking curvy girl on a hard rigid radiator
etc.

Seems to me you haven't retouched it at all

yeah, sorry about that. I caught my breath. I shouldnt get that worked up over a word. I was in college when that word became 'the thing to say' many years ago, and too many retards over/misused it, so it really grinds my gears.
