Description
I was dancing retardedly in my bedroom to that 'Shake it like a polaroid picture' song and heard a smash behind me and my beloved creepy porcelline doll split, so of course why no take photos of it. If you cant take photos of a smashed porcelline doll head, then what CAN you take photos of?In this image i was trying to capture the contrast between beauty and destruction. Perhaps this image could represent the childhood of those gothic kids nowadays- a shattered childhood... get it? Baby= innocence= broken innocence? No? Mkay i'll stop trying to be artistic and deep and meaningful.

I love this shot. Only thing I could critique it on is maybe its a little right side heavy, and it may just be me, but for some reason the blurriness of the rose at the bottom is a little distracting. I dont know why. But other than that I love it. Great work

Wow this is great. It looks like something that would be on the front page as a Daily Deviation.
Well done

hrm ok, Idea ok, implementation inadequate. First of all: the background is heavily disturbing there must be something "clean" like a shit of paper. focus is also not really correct in my eyes and the arrangement of the whole stuff could also be better. so if you didn't throw it in the bin, take it and try again. Maybe just with one rose? Btw. if you enjoy your life next to a beach, why not try and arrange it on the beach with sand as background? I know you could do better

you see THIS is what i love about deviant art! i dont notice anything about my images, neither love nor hate them (well sometimes hate), until someone points it out to me, then through their eyes i see my errors! THANKYOU well in case you hadnt noticed i have temporarily lost my creativity, i havnt posted anything in a while, i quickly whipped this image up and an hour after i took the pic i put it on deviant, so not a whole lot of heart and soul has gone into it, but yes i agree with everything you have said. i used to get up in the morning and think of photography and see the world like a camera was poised right their in front of me 24/7. Now nothing. I feel nothing for it. I have lost all passion towards photography. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Can i get it back?! HOW!? HELP ME! Nothing inspires me and i do not know why. Can someone offer advice to pull me out of this rut?

It's very nice that you take my advices, I also looked throug my gallery today and thought how much crap is in it. If you see my scrap statistics, I have now about 75 scraps and 130 deviations or so. But I think it's good, it's a progress we all have to go through. Nevertheless if you loose your creativity, don't mind, maybe it comes back, and if I look at your gallery, I'm sure it has to come back. So I'm sure you have some models out there, so grab one, go into the studio or wherever you want and start shooting, even if you don't know how to shoot. And I'm quite sure after a few minutes or hours your creativity is back. But I think it's important to forget about your leak of creativity, just do it you know? I can also add here, that the other picture you took "baby face" is also not really good in my eyes, and I can tell you why, it's not you. You're trying to force yourself to do some photography and so you take what you get and try to make the best outa it. I've also gone through those days, but it's wrong, I now think that you must have the right things to photograph. And I think your "right thing" are people and not dead things, there might be other photographers who can work well with dead things, but it's definately not you and me
so long have a nice day down there

omg wow you're EXACTLY right, god its freaky when someone else can see something bout you that you yourself cannot work out, i earnestly appreciate your insight, im just going to say f*** it and do the photography that i want to do and stop trying to be like everyone else i see, i have my own style and i will stick to it dammit. thankyou for releasing me from the commercial trap you make me think how i want to be thinking, so thankyou
