Here's the thing, Photography is an art form, it is also a process of trial and error. To sit here and bash someone else's work is just dumb on your part. You have the right to criticize art, but only to an extent. I find HDR a digital art, because you are using a mixed media and multiple processes to manipulate a photograph. When people post in this thread they want a critique of their work, but not a complaint about how they manipulated a photo.
I'm in an art aprec. class and we have learned how to critique a work of art, but I don't remember bashing as one of the categories. We were asked to bring in a picture of an art work we didn't like, and I chose Thomas Kinkade; I really don't like his work, but I don't call his gallery and piss and moan because he still paints the same way, the way I hate.
I can understand you not liking it, but stop complaining about it. Like I said in a former post, you post many portrait shots, and Doylem posts saturated landscapes over and over again, but we don't fuss about it. Some people have a niche, so they stick to it, you do great portraits, Doylem does great landscapes (and sheep
), and Valdore does outstanding HDRs. Some people want to try new things, so they do.[/rant]
