So I did a little test, /p/. It was a deviantart test, to confirm my suspicions that a vast majority of the people there are complete fucktards.

They fucking love the shit out of this image I took and HDR'd. Exactly as I knew they would.

Look at that horseshit. They lap it up. Aside from being another eye macro, there's a fuckton of noise even for being downsized. The only thing I like this for is the girl I took this of has these bizarre, lovely eyes with odd lines coming from the pupil extending towards the edge of the iris, which I've never seen before. But DA loves every damn aspect of it. It's impossible to get good help there.

Those are almost literally the exact kinds of responses I got on DA for this shit. It's ridiculous.

Yeah, it is a shitty image, and dA is a shitty place for liking it. But, then again, the mean age on dA is 14, so what do you expect. It's all a bunch of 8th graders and freshman thinking they're professional resources on art, faving every piece of crap that isn't just a shot right out of a camera.

It's life.

"the iris looks amazing. I mean, wow, all these details and red veins let it look beautiful and menacing at the same time. All in all, a really well-done photograph!"

^^ That's an excerpt from one of them that's PARTICULARLY bad. The rest of them are riddled with smileys and thumbs up and stupid shit.

What you're bitching about is true of all such sites, even /p/ to a certain extent.

Also ring flash it and shop yourself out. lrn2 sterotypical shoot/shoop man

I think photosig is pretty good for critiques. I dont see many OMG KAWAII ^_^ THIS IS AWESOME.

Just lots of "This is distracting" or "Would have been better if you framed this tighter"

Something about looking at this photo makes it a bit painful

The bloody capillaries are really obvious and are actually painful to look at for some reason.

this is as scary photo
>> ... ShadowDragon
link me to the page where you posted the image
else i don't believe you've seen even half a dA
not to mention the fact that you have seen the lesser quarter of dA fanatics. there are a fair number of people who are ready to actually critique the entirety of an image, right down to the quality.

but you cannot just base it on that particular image.
some people aren't attuned to minor details.

Yes we can... go onto the kids DA! He has a Pentax K100D (mommy loves her little darling), Yes its a entry level DSLR, but it can take some outstanding photographs... these are shit

Then he has the balls to try and defend DA

That's great. You've affirmed your superiority. Now shut up and take some fucking photos if you're so wise to the ways of photography instead of bragging that morons love your shit work.

Everyone is anonymous therefore no one has credibility. You can get a tripcode but you still need to build a reputation and the only way to do that is by posting good photos.

i am loving how insanely stupid you guys are.

underage. well if they measured that by you psychological ability many of you would rate under 10

Ego. i gave it up when i joined the internet fad

ladies. to whomever impersonated me, my hair is no-longer that way, btw, it got me less chicks than the long hair i have now.

k100d. tis not mine, but it's better than the koolpix or whatever that i borrow from school

Defend dA. i did it cause i know some reasonable people there.

Arse of the internet.
WHY THE FUCK AM I HERE?
CAUSE THE ARSE NEEDS TO HOLD IT IN UNTIL ITS OUTSIDE

sage this shit faggots, whats done is done, weaboo under age can keep doing his work, takes practice after all? remember we were all born with no knowledge of photography, he just happens to be 16 years slow

Age isn't that much a factor. It took me a week to get familiarized with the different technical concepts of exposure then I started shooting for a few months to hone my composition and I turned out alright. Being able to take in criticism then eventually being able to critique your own work plays a very important role in development.

DA just circlejerks in an endless downward spiral. Anybody there who's actually good has little to gain from the community while everyone else who favs those people's work have very little to contribute.

True that, i'm not saying dA is perfect "Omg lets fuck each other over artworks that i have no idea how to crit", But those myspace/facebook type comments that people leave would have to help those budding artists somewhat, those who want to improve, improve themselves, just with those comments as support. But in the end, it is quiet a useless attention whore site.
