I'd really appreciate some feedback regarding this picture of myselves. I'm trying to process things in different ways and you're really not sure about your ideas until you share them - you know how it is! Thank you.

[David Procter]

Thanks for the feast of feedback one and all!
I'll guess I'll stick to taking pictures of tuktuks and maybe the odd monk!

[gregoire]

Pictures of monks and tuktuks go up against a certain set of preconceived aeshetic ideals that make their critique easy, if only to say, "great shot, nice colors." In short, we can all tell a good postcard shot when we see one.

Now, if you're charting out a new territory and developing your own style, you need a body of work before it can make sense to your viewers. If Jackson Pollock or Picasso lay one of their paintings before you, and you had never seen anything painted by either one before, and they asked you for a comment, I think you'd find it quite hard to "get it" and come up with constructive feedback.

So don't give up just cuz we're quiet, keep posting, and don't rush people to comment.

hehe!
I know, I know...
a childish rant.

Thanks for the voice of reason!

A Picasso it's not (yet) but I like the experiment,
somehow (don't ask me why, reflection, symmetry etc.) for this kind of thing I would use a square format.
I really don't understand the title though.

Thanks for your comment Bjorn.
The square crop is an interesting idea and I'll try it.
The title relates to the duality of expression.
