Oh see, now you're in trouble. Because a) ubique likes your work (and he likes really odd stuff), b) because you caught Yo_Spiff's attention, and b) 'cause I like your work and half the time I don't know what I'm doing. Welcome to DPC!
This is just fabulous. Love your composition and especially the tones of the image. The way you incorporated the triangles is really genius. Great work. Though your score might not reflect appreciation for your art, there are several who see how good it is!
Hey Tori!! It's Roseann (I met you and your dad in Ft. Worth).. glad to see you entered one of the challenges. I gave you a 7 and I think this one is great! : )
Some of those comments are funny. Silly funny. Too many people like to see only what they want to see. Anything else makes them feel uncomfortable. I want to see only what you see, and you let me do that. That's why I gave you a seven and a comment. Your photograph is different. Thoughtful. It has mood and feeling in it. Your feeling Tori. None of the ribbon winners in this challenge, even though they are very nice images, has that same mood and feeling. None has any mood or feeling actually, which is part of the reason they did so well. Please keep seeing things your way, and keep entering them in challenges here. You'll make this place better by doing that.
A nice finish for your first challenge, Tori. Take the critiques as what they are, and that is well intentioned feedback. Keep in mind that when leaving comments and suggestions (Such as "use curves to add contrast and make the triangles stand out better") people do not know you are a beginner and that you may not understand those adjustments yet. They also don't know this was almost straight out of the camera, shot with a compact. You did VERY well for a first challenge and if you look at the challenge results, you will see that you came in above a lot of more experienced photographers with far more expensive gear. Looking forward to what you follow this up with.
Nicely seen - good work. I think basic editing allows to use curves adjustment layer and probably it is possible to make different triangles more prominent here. Monochrome seems like right choice for the subject, but bluish color I feel is not the best choice. Hard to say though :)
