I hate pestering /p/ like this and hate the idea of showing unfinished versions, but I can't decide which of these is better.

Could you do me a huge favor, /p/, and tell me which one of these do you think is better in color and which one you think is better in black and white, if it's different?

Straight from the raw file, just resized and, in the case of the black and white ones, desaturated.

Thanks, /p/.

Both are awful, but the second is slightly less so.

Come on man, honestly, they're so dark that they're meaningless. Don't put this much effort into failed snapshots.

They're all pretty terrible. Try experimenting on something better composed.

So /p/ really hates them? Wow.

Also, I plan on pushing some, obviously.

Really?

The composition was what I liked about them; I just couldn't decide if it was better with the girl yawning or not.

I'm not OP, I was about to make fun of him by doing a diptych becaue apparently, if you took 2 mediocre pictures and put them in 1, it's instantart.

But they were so bad I said fuck it. Then I'm like, I can already feel beethy all over this because he's a faggot like that.

Input a draft in Gmail with timestamp for posterity and guess what? He's all over it.

The first is the better if you ask me. Needs to be pushed a stop or two. It's going to be noisy like crazy after that. In b4 you can push raw as much as you like without affecting image quality at all.

This is a fucking troll. These are just camera phone pictures.

I'm not a troll, and camera phones don't have medium telephoto lenses on them or raw files. They're small because I don't want to waste 4chan's servers on this.

If /p/ doesn't like the picture that's fine, but I swear I'm not a troll. Could /p/ explain why this shit sucks? I don't mean that defensively; I thought it was pretty good and I'd honestly like to know why /p/ disagrees.

Reason's this shit sucks:
poor exposure
poor composition

No amount of shoop will save these images.

1) It's wayyyyyy too dark. It doesn't add to the mood or anything, it's simply annoyingly underexposed.
2) Turning a photo black and white ("desaturating", ugh) doesn't turn a crappy picture into art, and it's offensive to us that you thought so.
3) There isn't really a subject in either picture. The crop is too tight that miscellaneous body parts are missing, the subject(s) are moving around, there's no point to the candid feeling expressed in these pictures, etc.

They're just bad, bad, bad.

I didn't think making it black and white made it automatically art; I said "desaturate" as opposed to "making them black and white with channel mixer."

Then why post black and white versions of the same photos? It's basically saying, "I don't have enough knowhow to determine if making these photos black and white makes them look better. Usually it does, that's why I tried it, but you tell me."

Because I usually do my work in black and white, not to make them special or insta-art or whatever, that's just what I prefer. Color photos are the exception for me and I was thinking about making this an exception.

Thanks for the feedback anyway, /p/.
