Look at this image. Look at it for what it is.

1) It is not sharp at all.
2) The colors are flat
3) The lighting needs vast improvement
4) The composition leaves much to be desired.
5) The "CONCEPT" is interesting but the execution is off.
6) IT'S NOT DRAMATIC! Not at all. The colors need to be better. Maybe it needs to be black and white? The lighting needs to be better. The only thing that is dramatic is the bogus placement of the word "fuck". Let's face it, using a word such as that means an inability to express yourself. You resort to "shock" as opposed to thoughtful expression.

I stand by my statement about it being sophomoric crap. I know this poster is a beginner, and I can respect that. However, stroking him/her on this image is not going to make her/him any better. It simply is not a good image.
I know its not technically perfect, and that was stated by PR members, and I agree that its not... although i was sincere in my post when i stated that the second was compositionally more pleasing... All we were discussing was the concept, which you yourself ( see #5) stated was interesting. Someone already stated that they thought the execution was off, people have stated that they thought it should be handwritten, that it should be this, or the photographer should of done this... and so on... we are just discussing the photo and the concept... I don't understand why anyone should be upset because people are in your words " oooohhing and ahhhing" over this photo. ??? how Has this harmed you?

Oh, and I am not "stroking" anyone - And I never do... I treat people as I wish to be treated, meaning I give honest opinions and I wish to recieve the same. But do not want to be treated like I am retarded for showing interest in someones post.
