That is a possibility.

The image in the our right foreground is of a metal sculptured horse's head. A metal sculptured young girl's head, looking down, on our left.

Thanks.

If I am photographing a mountain, I would want it to be sharp, as well.

It's OK to say "I don't get it."

That helps but maybe it’s just too “busy” for me? What’s the structure on the left?
I’ve taken similar photos with a story in mind that others didn’t “see”; maybe that’s what happened here.

You have to think to appreciate this picture. There is no right or wrong story, but I expect everyone that looks at it may come up with their own and there is nothing wrong with that. You can make up your own context whether it is right or wrong.

It is a wall of a tent at the Art fair. I found it to help with the sense of transition of time, separating the "past" from the "present".

"Busy" is a fact of life. So this also plays into tying in Reality in the shot. Take a moment and try to focus at a distant object through a "tunnel" of objects. You may understand why I left the shot the way I did. It worked with the temporal aspect I was seeing.

Photography is not something that should be compartmentalized with rigid rules. It is a form of communication with its own many languages and interpretations. I debated whether to work this as "street photography". But the view was more along the lines of an impressionistic painting. (I stay away from Cubism!)

As I responded to another poster, it is OK to just say "I don't get it." Some images do require a certain path of experience to understand its import. I always take the opportunity to talk to Artists when I can't pick up on the story in their work. Just because I do not understand, it is not the job of the artist to adjust his presentation. Though I do take the time to understand when explanations are given. (Something I do that I consider to be a result of my being multi-lingual.)

Also, there are the times where explanations will fail. When I come up against a "wall", I will walk away and revisit at a later time. Sometimes even that might not work.

I do appreciate your comments and strive to reply. I recognize that I may be missing the mark.



PS., I do enjoy Cubist works. I just can't imitate its form in my photography.

Thank you. You are correct.

I'm not sure what I'm looking at.

Well, let us forget this one?

Stephan G

You are free to do whatever you want. Just as anyone else.

Thank you for your comment.

Stephan G

That is fine.

In some of my comments above I've striven to give an idea of what I saw.



Thank you for looking and your thoughts.

This probably should have been posted in "For Your Consideration". There, you'll get all kinds of comments about all different elements of your photo, and sometimes they go on endlessly. And most of them pretend that it is "art". Yeah, right!

Sorry, but I see nothing ???

Thank you for your critique.

I placed it in the right folder.
