I certainly NEVER meant for you to feel the need to be defensive. I was simply giving my honest critique. In fact . . . I give far more credit to experimenting and playing than you can know. Wonderful things can happen if you're willing to go out on that proverbial limb. So many don't.
So kudos to you for trying new and differnet things. That's far more valuable in the long run. Forget who might be good, better or best. Who cares? Keep shooting and trying my friend and others will one day ask you how you got that idea!
And don;t worry about the opinion of any person, including me . . . take it as an opinion and if you can find a way to get better from it, Great. If not . . . well . . . who ever shot a photo everyone liked anyway? :)
Sure, it's not b&w, but sepia in the camera settings is usually in the b&w toning....Second, the post editing was an experiment I did and later found out post editing wasn't for me as you can see on my recent pictures. Thirdly, I do this for fun and I know I'm not as good as some other people on this site but at least I try.
Second . . . don't like the frame or post editing.
That being said . . . it's a personal opinion so you can see how it affects others. I never rate low . . . . would rather just NOT rate. For the record . . . my friend Marcus . . . who disagrees with me . . . loves the shot is is an EXCELLENT photographer. You know . . . can't please ALL the people, eh?
