>>4448756 (OP)
yes, next question.

yeah nah not bad but there’s room for improvement
I would bring some contrast in between the light surface of the water and the dark silhouette of the boat
and ditch the white border because you already “framed” the shot with the handrails
watch you don’t bring too much lightness into the background adjusting the lightness of the water if you decide to take my advice

>>4448756 (OP)
what photos?

>>4448756 (OP)
I'd do what the other anon said and lighten the sky a bit. The white point is just so low

>>4448756 (OP)
The picture itself may be good, but your editing kinda lacks adjustments.
Incorrect exposure and lack of detail.
Is it what you call black and white? Your photo is literally gray.

>>4448756 (OP)
>>4448904

This is black and white.
It has blacks and whites, got it?

Dev'd it yourself?

EWW
DISGUSTING
FUCKING DISGUSTING

stop scanning with a smartphone you giant absolute piss brained fool

>>4448908
Good to know, else it would just be grayscaled.
Gonna use it in my future photos

>>4449076
It's completely normal, I used to edit like that. But after shooting black and white film, I really started to understand how such pictures should behave.
It's all about light.

>>4449076
+100, 0, -100 contrast

>>4449078
>It's all about light.
Light is the only subject photos need.

>>4449080
The edit is 100% up to you. Just make the exposure reasonable.

>>4449081
Exactly, learn how to use it and you're golden. That's why off-camera flash gives you so much freedom. And color is also light.

>>4448756 (OP)
Composition sucks dick. Subject is nice. A pre-modern boat made of wood sailing within the unnatrual glass and steel jungle they call city. Good shit.

>>4449157
>Composition sucks dick
What makes you say that? should anon have moved his camera to the left to show where the boat is going? i like that its divided and creates a frame inside his frame but maybe im just a faggot

You need to ask yourself what you are trying to communicate with your photograph.

This >>4449084 For example.
Wtf am I supposed to take away from this shot. Your job as a photographer is to capture something significant.

>>4449610
I took this photo for me, not having your own expectations in mind.
If the same rules would apply to you, more than 2/3 of your snapshits would be gone.
Significance my ass, who are you trying to impose rules to my photography? Go fuck yourself and have a great day.

>>4449632
>I took this photo for me,
So what's the photo speaks to you about?

Photography is a visual language.
Just like english: one of spoken, written languages, which you just used to reflect the topic and try to hide your insecurity by unnecessarily hostile manner.
Although it paradoxically expresses your insecurity even more prominently.

What the an asian in a suit anon said is you should establish a sense of order in your expression, your language, your photography.

Otherwise your expression will become so random, a mere accumulation of factoids and most importantly it can speak something that you never intended to.

Ego never helps your photography or anything else.

sorry for the typos

>>4449682
The purpose of photography, for me, is to register memorable moments.
I don't care about using it as a way of communication, I do it for fun.

Feel free to use it otherwise, and once again, don't try to rule how people should photograph.

>>4449684
unrelated to whatever gay topic the op was hoping for but it always strikes me how perfect the timing for this photo was, if you watch the video footage it's but a split second. fascinating.

>>4449692
>don't try to rule how people should photograph.
impossible for opinionated /p/haggots to grasp this
every photo must exist inside the box of what they think a photo is and if one doesn’t they will sperg out
conservatism is very stifling to creativity

>>4449704
It's autism. Autisms must categorize and file everything to feel safe in their chaotic world. Often times they will succumb to the binary thinking trap, which is a death sentence to any artistic or creative endeavor.

>>4449704
Who said that? I think you are plain retarded. Talking to stupid people is annoying, because they don't use brain cells.
A photo is whatever you want it to be and use it however you want. Just because you use it like you do, it doesn't mean it's law your arrogant piece of shit.
Pointless discussion with below average IQ lobotomized faggot wanker living being that exists to add weight in earth.

>People say clean your room so you can perform better
>DON'T DARE TO RULE OVER ME
Sigh...

>>4449704
That's not conservatism
>>4449705
And it's not autism either

It's being a midwit, and midwits are on both sides of the political spectrum causing stagnation wherever they go. Midwits love to define things and then behave as arbiters of right and wrong. Hence their attraction to philosophy. Interacting with midwits, left or right, feels like this
>Heh, I'm right in ways you do not even understand!
>Sir, you have been arguing in favor of legalizing bestiality and lowering the age of consent to 3. Because uh, let me check my notes here, the ethical implications of national borders and veganism?
>I AM SMART.
>Yes, now face the wall

>>4449706
>Who said that?
The guy I replied to, fuckhead.

>>4449684
>what does one of the most famous photographs of all time say to you

>>4450326
Ooga booga

>>4450332
I think the photo should always be displayed with the film of the same events, so you can (if you don’t already) how photography can be a powerful narrative shaping tool. You get an entirely different impression of what happened from the still vs the film.

>>4448756 (OP)
They're not bad, they're boring. Sometimes we think everything we do is worth seeing and forget that we only really take 5 or 10 good photos a year. Think of any of the great photographers; they took hundreds of photographs just to put together a 40-photo book.

>>4451980
What's boring to you could be interesting to someone else. Say a hobby or a location.
Really having a feedback based on your own interests instead of being neutral is not helpful at all. Learn how to be impartial while judging.

>>4452875
Nah wdym, they're not at least 8/10 so the board should continue to rot instead of more photos being posted.
>Learn how to be impartial while judging.
Hhahahaahaha, this fuckin board is incapable of

>>4452875
Impartiality isn’t real unless you are a scientist and hitting fuckers with the MRI while they view these photos to say “well ur doing a gud herb at stimulating the lateral cingulate gyrus and one test subject turned out to be a titanian spy with a 3 lobed brain”

All art critique is subjective babble. Thats why not just any critic matters, just the ones with social standing among the money launderers aka money changers aka[user was deported for this post]
