Hey, I faved this a few days ago!!

nice outcome
tho there's really no concept here which makes it a little redundant.

No concept? It is a fly on a leaf.
No concept was intended. How does that make it redundant?
Do you take photos? I can't see anything on your page, conceptual or non-cpnceptual.

i take photos .. you can see some concepts at the tutorial [not good photos]
otherwise my photos cost money to look at but i will upload some at a later date.
as to a fly on a leaf.. i've done that also... first shoot ever.
it's a nice outcome.. but if you put some thought into it u can get
something truely spectacular.
latest spectacular thing i've seen... [link]
it tells a number of different stories [besides the aestetics of it]
don't take my crit hard... you got a nice pic.

I don't take your 'crit' hard and I am well aware that it is a nice pic.
As for making it truly spectacular... it is a fly on a leaf. The link you provide is of a naked woman by a piano.
My pic does not aim to tell a number of different stories, it is a fly on a leaf. End of story. Good huh.
I appreciate criticism, if it is constructive. As for the immensely arrogant 'as to a fly on a leaf.. i've done that also... first shoot ever.' line, well, quite frankly, that just makes me laugh.
I feel you are a little bit blinded by your own arrogance and what YOU think makes a good pic.
I am a little confused by the line 'otherwise my photos cost money to look at'. Are you a pro then?
Also, as for not telling a story... Garrit (who selected this pic as a daily deviation) said '..shows a little part of life in spring. The soft green colour tone and the blurred waterdrops around the fly reflect the beauty of nature.' Is he wrong?
I have just looked at your page again... Not sure I will bother for a third time though, and judging by the other comments left there, people are getting bored by your 'crits' already. The trouble is, no one likes a critic that is unable to put their money where their mouth is. When you have a deviation with 270 plus faves, drop me a line and I will 'crit' that.
I say it like it is.

there's one little girl who got upset at me.. nothing else.
garrit's description actually makes me rethink my original comment.
the fact that i've done it my first shoot ever means it's a very
easy concept.. flies and macro... you can try a more unique
creature than a fly.. you can try to really tell a story and not
let garrit choose it for you after the pic is taken.
anyways. i peobably wasn't nice enough on my first comment..
there's a way to give crits.
my aplogies.
good day.

Actually, if you ever get a Daily Deviation (which seems unlikely as you don't appear to upload anything of interest), you will find out that the person who submits it makes up their own description and you have no control over that.
As for trying a more unique creature than a fly... if you had read my description, it was the first picture taken with my new camera and lens, the fly just happened to be the first insect I found. It was not intended to be the deepest, thought provoking image ever taken - and nor do I think good photography is all about that. It is a simple wildlife pic and was never intended to be anything else. I feel you are obsessed with the notion that a photo must say something deep and profund. You really need to let that go.
I accept your lame apology and ask that you do not bother looking at my page again.
Thanks, but no thanks.

i wouldn't call "accept your lame apology" an acceptance
and would call DD the epitomy of "art".
farewell.
