Critique by ~WorldWar-Tori Dec 23, 2012, 10:15:00 PM
Like a lot of other people have said I too am quite fond of the black and white as well as there square crop. I think it makes the chair and reflection stand out really nicely and gives a certain memory type feel to it in my opinion.

Part of me isn't sure about the centering of the chair though, I almost feel like if it was off to the side a little bit it could be interesting.

I also agree that it seems a bit bottom heavy with the top mostly washed out and everything near the bottom, but even then for this photo itself it works out very nicely.

The thing I like most is how minimalistic it is yet it still draws me into it with thought. Maybe your comment at the bottom helped to that effect? But either way I can stare at it for a while and just think. It brings a peaceful feeling with a deep approach to me.

Part of me wonders what it looks like in color, though part of me can picture it from the other photos you have in there. Either way, the photo is quite lovely. :)

***please do not pay attention to the stars, the critique is in what I wrote***

I fell in love with this photograph the moment I saw it. The only down side I could find with this picture was that it was a tad bottom heavy, but I think it helps add to the "empty" feeling you get when you stare at it. The lighting is spectacular. While I see many beach shots, black and white, color, etc...you made yours special, if not iconic. Most people see the beach full of sun, happiness, youth and family. But you changed it, transforming it into a world full of loneliness and depression. Really moving stuff. I hope I helped.

This is one of those photos that at first glance I didn't think was real, it looked like some sort of weird photoshop, it's honestly really amazing that you could take a shot like this.

The horizon lines, because they're so blurry and thick, almost seem like they're coming from the foreground, even though they're clearly far, far away, so the whole piece is messing with my sense of perspective.

Great stuff!

Thank you very much for the kind words! The blur in this one was actually altered in Photoshop. The shots from earlier in the morning had true blur, but it was very bright for this one so I photoshopped it. Glad you like it! Thank you very much for the kind words.

Do you know what? I don't really believe in perfection, for the real meaning of perfection is something that lacks of mistakes and flaws... that's the perfection that I don't believe in, because it simply doesn't exist. I'm going to tell you what perfection is to me: perfection is something that you can't change because you perceive that it is remarkably good as it is with no other change; however, if you liked it that much, it's because you liked its flaws and mistakes too and not because it lacks of them. Now, why the hell am I saying this right here? Well, your picture is perfect to me. There is not something that I would like to change in your photo, I love it as it is right now. I saw in one of your critiques that maybe if you had put the chair off to the side it would have been even more interesting... well, with no offence but that's bullshit to me, the chair looks perfect centered. Each part of the photo is essential to provide this beautiful and minimalist looking: the sky, the sea, the sand, the chair, the reflection, the lack of colors, the lighting...everything is PERFECT! You perfectly managed to create a photo that actually speaks for itself, I can feel what it is saying. Believe me, due to pictures like this I feel passionate by photography. I usually prefer pictures in color, yet, on this case, I prefer your B&W version 'cause the meaning is really different... and if everything that I just said wasn't clear enough.. I LOVE THIS PHOTO :love:

Wow....a very deep expressive piece indeed. Not only is the piece crisp and clear it is also just stunning to look at. The picture in its own way is simple yet very descriptive. The black and white affect also gave it a great look. Fabulous job. I absolutely love this.
