i am open to all subject matter be it cats/cars or otherwise. i'm just saying it's the execution and quality of the shot that makes it for me. everyone is going to have a different subjective response to an image as to whether they "like" it or not. but there are also a lot of objective aspects to an image as well: composition, color, quality, lighting, technique, texture, background, sharpness, perspective, framing, etc. so, as mentioned, the photographer can easily lose sight of some of the objective aspects if they have an emotional/personal connection with the subject. i post tons of photos of my car(in other threads) but only shots i feel are of a certain objective quality. i don't post out of focus shots of my car sitting next to a dumpster with a some one's beat up corolla in the background just 'cause i think my car is the s***.
anyway, not trying to kill anyone's mojo here. just giving feedback/ideas which i only assumed was part of this thread. i know many members here have expressed interest in improving their photography skills and discussing images/equipment/technique/etc in this thread. if you just want me to say "nice shots." when you post something up, i can do that too... but i think it would be a lot less interesting.
