I wonder how you look upon this question, “What makes a good picture?”. I believe it is when the artist manage to communicate a feeling.
This image of grass, I wanted to relay the sence off standing in a field with waving straws, the freedom. One might even start thinking about what happened to the straws not standing up any more: Crop field circle by aliens? Animals having a feast? Winds?
But the image is very simple. I have tried to cut out what I wanted to show and no distractions. That’s why I sometimes have a hard time with photographers who want the biggest effect out of everything, to use the most extreme angle or perspective or color just because they can not because the image needs it. It’s also why I have a hard time with photographers only concerned by technical qualities – they bore me to death. But that’s just me.
This field was made with the 60′s M42-lens aus Jena Sonnar 135mm/3.5 zebra on Canon EOS 350D.
Just my take on photography! No doubt your photos spoke to me!
On the other hand I also like extreme angle or perspective or colour in photography…To me they are like surreal part of life. A different dimension. An art? But agreed, the thought and the intention of the photographer counts.
Hi. Yes, I do angles and such to, (low perspective on flowers) and so on. But there was a time when I felt every landscape image I saw was wideangle and low perspective ;)
