I would have liked to see a more focused shot - right now it's not close enough to make out any real details on the cows, but I also like the background.

Good job. It's suprisingly very complete and whole.

Odd, that....
photograph noun [C] (INFORMAL photo)
a picture produced using a camera:
I could have sworn I had used a camera.
Ray, perhaps my photos are in fact bad photography. Because they of course pose no relation to a beautiful person sitting on a pristine beach. Photoart, then, perhaps?

I think it is just a tad too busy, but then again it seems to blend in and become "nothing in particular"..a very interesting photo I think you have achieved a very good piece.

Certainly an interesting and creative picture, I like it. One leaf seems to be in the way of the white ball...at first I thought it was a candle holder..

I see something in my pictures, which is why I like them. I attempt to convey a message, or an image. Not neccessarily a 'picture', or identifiable object. That is what I find to be the 'beauty' of it.
And as to you asking if I got what I intended to do. Yes, I did acieve what I wanted to in the end through this picture. Not through my taking the picture, but through posting it.
Would you like to know what I see?
I see what always reminds me of the movie Hannibal Lecter. A muzzle or gag on someone's face. Was this the intended? No, I set something up to get an interesting "blob" (a blob is really an spot, but nevermind that).
However, I did achieve what I intended to with conveying a meaning or idea with this photo. That of people attempting to silence me and my pictures. Many have told me my pictures are neither photo's, nor art. Some have called them blobs, shit, I assume you get the gist. With this I intended to stir some controversy, perhaps shed some light. PhotoArt? Crap? Art? Abstract? What is it? My photo's are not passive like 98% of the photo's here, I attempt to engage the viewer.

I would have to disagree, Sue...People rate it all tens, and say beautiful shot. On the other hand, they rate me ones and tell me that they don't get it..so, I am essentially being punished, for their own lack of understanding or creativity, without any comments. If it is a beautiful shot, it is implying it is flawless, and needs no more comments. I also receive the majority of my comments as these, so what's the point? I disregard those comments to begin with, I know a large majority does not want to understand, and will continue to rate me as all ones.
On the flip side, I also dislike the "fluffers" who simply say, I like it. On the whole, unless what I feel has already been said I will explain what I like, or don't like etc.

The border is good, really good perspective - it just gets a bit too bright in the right, but it's not too bad, really.

Another great one, Hakan. It's very symmetrical and centered..it might have been nice to not have so much white space below the face, unless it was intended - but it doesn't feel right.

Then, Stephen, please do. I don't see what the problem is. I set these up, like one does with their pretty birdie, and I shoot. As for dropping acid back in high school, it looks like it has done some permanent damage to you.

The intention of my actions was not to attempt to disjoint my works from others; rather I wanted people to take into account other things and not rate it on its groundings in reality. Nearly every other picture (if not all, I believe) have been down-trodden because they generally don't relate to something material possession that you can go to a park and take some pictures of. Everyone seems to obsessed with relating it or identifying it as something, classifying. I really just want people to understand what I am attempting to achieve - which is not a bird on a branch but a mind-expanding, perhaps amusing, disturbing, intruiging, and maybe even perplexing travel....

Well, at least you tried. I know that abstracts aren't for 'everyone'. And I appreciate you not rating it if you do not understand. I believe what I meant was that abstracts are of course grounded in reality but it takes a very imaginative and creative weird person to understand and enjoy them completely.

Apparently, there is a lot to not get. I believe it is people being too superficial, if you will, and get lost in the meanderings of the real world and loose their imagination.
