Artist's Comments

I know I said I'd take a break, and I will, but I have to see this experiment to its end. Uploaded this image under another deviantname. Its an awarded shot (staff choice on www.usefilm.com). After 48 hours, it has 15 views on DA. I suspected devART to be unwelcoming to newcomers, but I didnt know it was that bad! Thank God I'm popular :roll:

Rant: to the anal schmuck that keeps reporting my 'policy violation>wrong section' because I edit my photos, take a look at this before hitting that botton: [link] (violently manipulated image, uploaded to the photography section and selected as DD). It takes a hell of lot more effort/manipulation to create such an image, than what I've done here. The blurring of the water was caught in camera, I only applied a simple texture layer in photoshop, something that could easily be done traditionally by thrashing the negative/print.

It's no surprise to me. when an image stays on the "recently submitted images" page for a second or two the only way to see it is to have the author linked as a favourite or to see it spotted by someone.

Good photo, anyway
:)

As a relative newcomer to DA, it does seem that you upload something you think is especially good only to see it sink without trace. From my experience, it seems that the photography 'community' is more likely to look at new stuff than the photo-manipulation 'community' is (tho' this may be because, in my opinion, the general (and I emphasise general) standard of photography work on here is higher than the photo-manipulation work.... The answer, I've found is far, is, as the help suggests, to comment as thoughtfully as possible on other people's work and they, in turn, will look at your work....

Anyway....

This is a lovely image. I only discovered your gallery late last week through browsing someone's favourites and I can say, quite honestly, that your work is some of the best I've seen inside or outside Deviant Art, particularly in terms of texture and colour....

interesting experiment.. it is rather sad. but life goes on. Everyone's new once i suppose.

Nice photo. I love the colours. and the way it's almost central. but it's not.. [i think that makes sense..!]

But he wants to be just like Vincent Price..."

yes that's the problem of deviantART, if you are new you don't have the chance to become popular.. or it is very hard :/
i like this one :)
