i've been using my deviant account a bit more nowadays.
posting images there and such. nothing that's not necessarily here already, or will appear here.
what is up with people posting entire gallery sets in there. and honestly, in my opinion, i find them to be pretty blah and boring. i do understand that there is an audience for amateur work, but most of the images in the fetish category aren't even really fetishistic in the sense that someone, somehow would find them sexual. it's as if someone said, "ooh, i want to make a fetish image. i can shoot a gothy model and that will be perfect."
and as far as photography for photography's sake, well, ugh!

-- Hi Irv, I don't know what you were thinking here dude! You got a pretty model (altho kind of old), but you have caught her with her eyes cloes in a not very good pose. Biggest problem is YOU NEED CROP to a vertical!!!!! Backdrop is too small and there is not enough of a sweep so you can see the crease. If you send me a file I can fix it in Photoshop and I can give you my suggested crop. If you don't care aboout your PROFESSIONALISM you are never going to get work as a pro believe me!!! Hope I am not being too harsh. Oh well best regards anyway, M.H.

-- Bonjour Henri, assuming you are French, or at least understand it. This is a great capture, I love the composition and the dog. We had a dog that looked kind of like that one once. Your problem here is that your AF has focused on the wrong place—the man is actually kind of soft! The camera has mistakenly focused on the people in the doorway, creating a distracting softness in the man. Usually it is best to focus on the closest object and most times the camera will choose the closest large object to focus on, but unfortunately not here. But it is still an amazing capture. Cordially, Edwin
