13116816, I wish it were in color.

13116971, nice sharpness in contrast between black in white

but the subject(s) aren't very exciting in their posture or pose. The protest sign is also rather bland. I think that takes away from the overall composition.

my eyes first hit the two people then moved up to the sign (which is weird but anyways).

I think I'd prefer landscape which would provide some additional space around the subjects and make the sign 'smaller' in the photo.
13116978, Caption: "c'mon, bro" And WTF is that cat-on-a-crucifix shit?

About the photo: It doesn't draw the eye to any particular place, other than maybe that weird cat sign. I'm more confused by this photo than anything else. Also, colour would've been nice.
13117015, not a crucifix...pretend the cat is a circle and think women

pussy...

pussy hats...
13117020, Ok, I see it, but now I'm even more confused

Is the message basically "pussy?" (cat + female symbol).

Is this in response to Trump's comments? I'm out of the loop with this stuff.
13117025, it's not a clear message.Kind of a low key mashup of feminine symobols

13117022, curious why you chose this photo.. it doesn't move me at all
Posted by legsdiamond, Mon Jan-23-17 11:32 AM
13117055, I liked the photo
Posted by lightworks, Mon Jan-23-17 12:30 PM
Was curious what others thought that's all

What's interesting about Okp is there's never a unanimous "that picture is dope" response so I've learned to not pick pics I'm too attached to so I don't get offended
13117031, the guys hand on the back. Supportive or controlling?

The water bottle is distracting as well.

That "this is MY woman!" stuff. Probably getting a little too much attention for that sign, and he was like "whoa, slow down Rebecca!" Dude probably does that shit when they walk through the bar or past a well-dressed man too.


My guess.
13117060, you consistently deemphasize your subjects.
Posted by double negative, Mon Jan-23-17 12:37 PM
they seem to always get lost in the environment either by way of lighting or framing

this would be a not bad picture if you shot them from center with your focal plane parallel to the subjects instead of taking them on from a angle.
13117064, see....if I were her, i'd counter this with. "Maybe those aren't my subjects"
