submit a photo to the urban75 critics

[friedaweed]

Please start some thread elsewhere, this sticky is for posting up images and offering constructive criticism.

I suggest the following:
- limit to each individual adding only the occasional photo
- if you have nothing worth saying then say nothing

If you have a handful of photos you'd like to post then just start your own thread. And critics: silence can be loud, and has the advantage of saving the rest of us from listening to yet another bitch fest.

Must agree meself like
It's like a tit for tat between Oliver Reed and Chris Eubank.
"I'm an artist and can be as rude as i like when talking about art" v's "One was born in the ghetto don't you know and i'm down with the urban stylee" FFS @ both of you
It might only be the Internet but that's no excuse for being fucking rude. Now make up chaps and fucking duck before Ed sees the mess you've made of his beloved forum

A plague on both your houses

That's quite pretty.

Have you considered a range of greetings cards?

No.

I very much agree, criticism and random slagging are not the same thing.

I like your more recent photography. You've learned loads in a very short time IMO. The way you experiment with light has obviously helped you understand the medium of photography. You seem to have a natural eye for colours also. Really like the way you use the cold and warm colours in this shot. Gives it a far greater depth and takes the viewers eye deeper into the picture. Many technical pros would criticise your crude use of light, but I think it works well in this environment.

What also interests me is the 'floating light' in the midground. I suspect this wasn't entirely planned and foreseen in this way. Definitely deserves more experimentation though.

Very obvious that you get as much out of the science of photography as you do the art of photography. 'Keep experimenting and keep learning' would be my only advice presently.

thank you I have only been into photography for little over a year now and have learnt very quickly due to photographing in extremes. the red floating light was indeed a mistake it was a tiny red LED on the flash gun i was using off camera.

What Stanley said. I've commented before that you seemed unwilling to develop (!) for quite a long time - then with this and the last ones I saw from you, suddenly it's like you've had an epiphany. Really good stuff - keep striving to improve and who knows where it'll get you.

I like the first two, not the third. You could and should photoshop out the red trails in the first one. Same for both the highlight on the left and the sensor overheat/whatever in the top left corner on the second. Prefer them without the web address but that's just me.

I thought this was a fairly average photo, but it's had nearly 900 view on Flickr since I uploaded it last night (most of my photos are lucky if they get over 25)

It is very delicate and very beautiful but, not my favourite in Abstracts Five. I'm more a fan of photographs that disturb you enough to ask questions. This doesn't for me. Decoratively it works very well. Again, your use of gif makes for a painterly quality. It's decorative and a little haunting but, lacks clout. The image I quoted on your other thread is class. Post that one up here and I could write an essay about it

Stan you mean this..?

I think he means the dude in the car ... but I could be wrong.

I had a feeling that might be the case


that one of the bin and the boat is superb tho... the statement it makes about the unsuitablity of prizes on Bullseye is beautiful... i would call it 'heres what you could have won' but i would probably spell 'won' w0n - leave it up to the viewer to work out why

The fucking car was awsome i mean there we was walking through streets of Sheffield we had never been then bingo that car there was another with a wham tape i joke not but not as good as the one love car it was just fucking nice oh yes the boat another class find shame we was moved on by the old bloke in the house we asked all polite for more images but he was haveing none of it and i agree the ray of sun fucks it up but it had to be added to the whole lot and we was shit faced on smoke makes the whole thing more mad.

Like it. Has a good starkness with the branches and sky. The reflection looks almost like you've just copied the top half in photoshop and whacked it on the grass. Also like how it's almost b+w except for all the green. Thumbs up!

Obviously a very impressive macro shot. Did the fly sign a waiver for use of its image?
