I think I am going backwards

instead of forwards

Published on December 3, 2008 By ImStein In Skinning

When it comes to my works. Not sure what I am missing when it comes to my walls, but my stars are getting smaller. A three, I can live with, it means that the public gets to see what I have created. But lately, the have been 2 1/2 or lower, and only seen on my personal page. I am asking you, the community, to please take a gander, and critique my work. I take constructive criticism very well. I want to be the best I can be, but without imput, I am at a loss....Here is my site. Thanks for your time.

If I may..

You're getting some good advice as far as to keep plugging away, keep trying. You're walls aren't 'bad'. I don't see 'you' yet. I just see some wallpapers. I believe that as you keep trying you'll fall into your nitch as you develop the style that works for you and best shows what you want to express. That's when it will click, happen, or fall into place for you.

Even when you find your groove, you may not get the ratings you want..that's when you have to be able to do it for 'you' and because you love to do it. But there will be folks who 'get what you're doing' or just like your style. It's the comments they leave that will make up for everything else.

Now if you want some comments, for what hey are worth coming from the likes of me....

Season's Greetings - Lose the 'fuzzy' border..bolder glassier text or No text at all

Storm Tossed - off kilter, makes me wanna toss

Broken Light- - I think the drop between this and light is self explanatory - too much. It was fine the way it was in Light.

Undefined - I like it

Blue Bamboo - I like it

Eye of The Storm - for me..very Bryce and I'm not big on Bryce. That moon is bugging me to.

Not Me - Were you going for the 'Primitive' look? Close, but very grainy. I think you were on to something here. I like the 'attempt' but not the end result.

High Lake Sunset - Nice, but for the water (IMHO) What do you work with? If PS, I might have toned down the ripples or hit it with a Smart Blur (+3, +24) I like the colors and it all blends well. (Better than Eye of The Storm)

Well, hope I haven't pissed you off or anything. I look forward to seeing more work from you and watching you develop.

Thanks everyone.....this is what I like to hear.

PO...some of the walls you brought up are ancient art....High Lakes was my first Terragen...I was surprised that it was approved...lol. Not me was just to be fun, a Terragen/PhotoImpact render. Eye of the Storm, again Terragen/PhotoImpact/PictureIt..and you are right, the moon drives me nuts too....ah, but that was 4 years ago. Hee Hee...the others are this year, and you are right, now I am just finding my niche....it will happen. C'est la vive
