wingster..i feel should increase the DOF... the OOf region a bit distracting la

plus ur choice of background prolly could be improved no..since this shot is completely under ur control...how come got speaker thingy there.. hahaha :_

wooohoo ! one of the shots i made got printed in the newspaper.. ahhaha...though its a tamil weekly...but owh well... one step at a time...

daredevil : care to elaborate on why that perspective of the human shape??becuase the basic lines and angle of the photo got a bit of clash larh...i feel.... what were u trying to portray?..and also...did u crop the photo?

chronic gamer : i like your style...develop it further and amazing things will happen... if i could contribute a few things....try to think from a viewers point of view sumtimes........ your photo has meaning to you because u have already been there...... but what about the audience..how will they perceive and frame their thought to understand your intended meaning...... if i were to take the same photo..i might include the shop owner persuading someone..of a more fuller photo with more elements pertaining to the subject that you wish to emphasise...

i have another photo which has deep personal meaning for me...but it applies to people in the community as well...in different ways..try to analyse this one...

ier : thanks... i did not want to remove the element from the picture completely...and if i did..the composition wouldnt work......at least it wouldnt for the message that i intend....

i would entitle that picture : LIFE


lwliam : love the candidness.....

albert , banzai_san and kmarc :

ok this might need a little imagination...what i intended was to show a blank wall...this represents ALL our lives...what ever we do...who we are...what we represent will produce colours and patterns on this wall as to reflect our character, our nature and our uniqueness...i chose a blank wall because ...frankly no image can ever encompass and represent Everything....except a blank canvas....the limitless possibilities of wonderful art ..or worthless drawings......

and as we know....our lives are constantly being observed by others...people we dont know...people who judge us ( hence the darkened feet with no identity ) ...people we probably never would know who shape and interpret our lives according to their values....

The picture also shows anticipation....like people awaiting something to happen....dont you agree that that is what is happening in our lives as well?...expectations of parents? teachers, bosses, family, spouses, all looking ..waiting to see how our story, our pattern and our uniqueness unfolds....

i purposely made the choice of coloured elements in the photo as bland as possible....with highlights near the stage and darkness eclipsing the audience.....we all know that our main point of view is ourselves...were turning into a materialistic culture which has lost the appreciation and the capability to emphatize for another.....we always wish to be in the spotlight... and most of the time...we do not see the reactions of people who look at how we behave, who see our faults and shortcomings, as well as our successes and greatness... due to our blind focus and emphasise on "ME, Myself and I"....


this was my interpretation of this simple yet profound image....i hope it has brought a thought or two to someone who reads this...for if it does...my goal is achieved....

ier : simple works for some...... being a person who searches for meaning behind a photograph...i tend to think a lot and try to capture that feeling...that emotion with the shot....thanks for your comment!

ahahha..some misinterpretation occured earlier on my part... ed clarified

kmarc : NO!! you are NOT Too noob...just try to interpret...cmon la...different ppl hv different interpretations..like iER...he just sees it as a simple aestethic photo..

others will see it differently...and plz la..im just as noob as u... just with a complex head..

hmmm...prostitute room?... maybe!! WHO Knows! hahahahaha..exactly..i would never have thought that! hahahahh....awesome..

albert : scary sometimes....

chronic_gamer : sorry i didnt see ur post earlier .... wow..i never thought about that picture being a goal ...i always see it as a fixed frame... Good point btw!....moving into the light....hmmm.... from darkness into light..... can be interpreted as learning..or growing up..but depends on the elements around it also... thanks !! ....

albert : very nice article..much appreciated share...

hey cjlai...ur image....is it meant to hv yellowish tint ar? .... or is it my monitor... just asking yah..no offense!

erk..maybe...after reduce red slider OR add blue filter....is it bluish in ur screen?>

edit : i removed the framing and your words...because they were created in white..when i change the wb..it becomes blue hahaha ...
