Philosopher King aka Real life isn't always in Focus

Contributed by T Stantis

The robot represents the inner turmoil and angst of the teenage soul. Put into a world full of confusion and bad decisions. The syringe is the ever present theme of peer pressure.

If you had bothered to adjust the value range of your image to something just above dim, we might understand or appreciate the image better. We might even see the syringe you mention in your description. As it is, it is easily overlooked and chalked up to bad photography.

ehh...harsh Myers, although I agree. The photo is too dark, especially the top right corner. The object I believe to be the syringe is blurry and has a bad glare.

cool robot though.

Myers, I dont understand how you could give praise to "Halloween Night" when it is a photograph of equal or even worse quality. Both lack depth and interest. They both could have also been as easily taken by a 5 year old with a disposable camera.

Maybe your lofty explanations for your image were thought-out in advance or perhaps your just bright enough to create them on the fly...either way there is some art that I just don't get. I am sure that there are those who may understand and relate to this image. While I don't think an overly prettifying levels adjustment is in order, I just think that one is necessary in order to make people want to take a closer look. We are so bombarded with images, many of which are underexposed, that we quickly dismiss those that we see.
And Trey...I thought that "Halloween Night" showed effort and I felt Stantis was having fun at the expense of the blog

so i'm guessing your well-thought out and planned description of your photograph is supposed to make up for the lack of lighting and creative ability this picture holds. nice desctiption, bad photo.

i think it woulda been a good idea 2 make it so that the syringe iz in a bit of a lit up section then the robot fade into darkness so your description for the photo makes more since

and then we could take a spelling class.

The object of your photo is nice (the robot). However, the lighting isn't very good.
