Hi from Critique Club ( about I C U - Doors to the shop. (CW)).
I believe you had fun here.
But no communication...
For me, one image must send a message.
Because of this, I dont understand your objective here.
Would you tell me?
Regards,
Oscar
I was just trying to come up with something interesting, there is no purpose or particular meaning in the picture.
The title abstractly means "I see you" because I thought the image looked like a pair of eyes and then "Doors to the shop" is an explanation of what the picture actually is.
Yup, I thought this was yours from your remarks in the scores thread shortly after I had faved it. In spite of the overall low average, I can see from the comments and voting breakdown that it found it's fans. In spite of a majority that does not care for abstract photography, I'd call this a success.
I'm glad your title is telling what we should see. I like the abstract aspect very much, but without your title I would be lost. Even with title I'm trying to find my way in the photograph and it is not easy.
I presume it is the door handle we are looking at?
I don't know if the voters are awaiting this kind of entry in this challenge. I do hope so for you.
Very cool looking. Extremely abstract, but there are recognizable doors, or at least what looks like doors. I expect this is going to get creamed in voting, just because that is the usual fate of abstracts in a non-abstract challenge. I like it a lot, however.
Interesting take on the challenge. I like the abstract feel of the shot,... and what looks to be camera or lens movement during exposure. Not sure if I get how it makes the challenge, unless in a metaphorical way. Overall though, a photo that is thought provoking, and pleasant on the eyes.
I am a fan of blur so I like this shot. I like the color gradient from tan to darker brown like a finely tanned piece of leather. I love the sweeping textured strokes of the camera's movement recorded nicely like the light was delicately stroked on with a brush. I am not sure what the CW means in the title, if you are trying to communicate something about how you took the picture or something about the subject so that is sort of puzzling. The shot looks like a set of double doors blurred so I am going to say it meets the challenge.
