Mahamad, what I think will rather happen, is that there will be an always stronger division into a group that does as you say, and another group that posts "something, anything" just for advertising their "feelings". Considering comments, and especially cheap excuses in the sense of "yes, but the wind was too strong, and my dog was too fast, and I was hungry and had a headache" which arise so often when one examines thoroughly an image, I can't condlude any differently than to assume that such "photographers" didn't really realized what the whole thing is about. Still I hope you are right with your hope. It's only that I start abandoning such hopes, but it is very good to read more optimistic opinions.
Relax, bro! I am ever indebted to you for your most sincere feelings in this matter. Many a time I've opened up an upload and just can't say anything about it; mostly they are trivials like you said.
As space is limited, I hope people will upload more 'real' photos and be more constructive in their comments so that we all can benefit from it.
Well, Mahamed... what can I say, you are absolutely right. One would think that a place called "a photo forum" would be full of considerations, detailed comments, critiques, and so on. But for the most part of it we get messages like "Wow, great!" and this is considered as "a photo critique". Most people seem to think that dealing with photography (and with many other things) is something like naibvely tapping on each other's shoulders all the time. So be it. I'll keep on trying to examine images thoroughly and to write down what I think. It's the best way also for showing respect to other people's work, not to mention the own enrichment in photographical matters.
Something additional about this one: I am glad to see such images from you, or from Andre Denis, that show also something else than the many too many awfully captured sweet kittens and sweet babies from all the naive girlies (most of the time) who think that the center of photography is to publish their own "happiness". They start turning this place to something like their private living rooms where they bubble without a pause about their personal lives. This is of course what the world of photography was just waiting for. ;-)
Anyway, I have to stop now, since I can't get rid of the feeling that my temperature is rising. ;-)
You know what, Nick, only once in a blue moon do I get someone to give such a heartfelt comment. It showed that you actually gave the photo a thorough examination. You didn’t leave anything to chance. And most of all, I am glad you liked it. It’s worth taking it!!
A very well done pan, Mahamed! The details of the guy and the bike are crispy, sharp and a joy to look at, as the background seems to flow past. The spectator can do nothing but look at the main subject as the whole background seems to "push" the eyes right there. Your light balance was exactly right for neither neglecting details on highlights or shadows, but also for preserving the fine hue transitions that define the relief, the three-dimensionality of the subject. And with such a subject the anaglyph just had to be kept on image.
Only small pity is the cut front wheel but in such cases of panning the motion it is not such a big trouble.
