Just to tell you...I love you. by =Yukkabelle on deviantART
Oh Well I am a little bit frustrated today.
My photo : Just to tell you ... I love you was not accepted by one of the groups where I belong on the DeviantArt site.
(this group is French, I will traduct after)
Éviter de poster vos ID, vos photos de famille, celles de vos animaux de compagnie ou de vos vacances. Sauf si vous avez fait une photo de valeur artistique : vous avez travaillé la composition, l'angle de vue, lumière... etc.
Raison : Vous avez plein de médias pour partager ces photos (par exemple : Facebook, Flickr) et les personnes qui vont les regarder risquent d'être plus intéressées par celle-ci que les membres du groupe.
Merci de la respecter,

In English :
Avoid to post your ID, your family photos, those of your your holiday or pets. Except if you made an artistic photograph of value: you worked the composition, the visual angle, light… etc
Reason: You have full media to divide these photographs (for example: Facebook, Flickr) and the people who will look at them may to be more interested by this one than the members of the group.
Thank you to respect it,

Oh Yes I feel so upset about this, so I send a note to the sender :
In French of course, my anwser :
Bonjour,
A quelle photo faites-vous allusion ? celle de mon ID ?
C'est une image qui m'a pris beaucoup de temps à réaliser. Et surtout à régler la lumière et la parfaite ouverture à cause du miroir
C'est un concept étudié : c'est le reflet au sens propre et figuré de mon travail dans un vieux miroir :
- décors antiques, furet, complicité avec le sujet, et mon appareil
Si vous me connaissiez ou suiviez mon travail, vous auriez compris !
Dommage que mon travail est été perçu autrement
J'ai classé cette photo ID pour pouvoir la mettre sur ma page profile au même titre que celle-ci [link] qui était toute aussi réfléchie.
Je ne poste jamais rien de non songé ou non artistique sur ce site, sauf dans mon scrapbook.

In English :
Hello,
Which photograph do you refer about? that one of my ID?
It is an image which me took so much time to realize. And especially to regulate the light and the perfect Aperture because of the mirror.
It is a studied concept : It is the reflection in the literal and figurative sense of my work in an old mirror:
- antique decorations, ferret, complicity with the subject, and my camera.
If you know me or follow my work, you would have understood !
It's a pity that my work is perceived differently
I classified this photo ID to be able to put it on my profile as well as this one [link] which was quite as considerately done. I never post anything not thought or not artistic on this site, except in my scrapbook. Marie-Agnes
So the answer to my note was :
Celle-ci [link] .
Je suis désolée, elle a été considéré plus comme une photo personnelle qu'une photo artistique. Je sais que les valeurs de ce qui est artistique ou pas est différent d'une personne à l'autre. L'autre photo PASSION serait accepté par contre.
Bonne journée,

So in English
This one [link] . I am sorry, it was regarded more as one personal photograph than an artistic photograph. I know that the values of what is artistic or not is different from a person to another.
The other photo PASSION would be accepted on the other hand.
Good day,
xxx

Ok SO : Except if you made an artistic photograph of value: you worked the composition, the visual angle, light… etc ((they said in their rules ))
Behind the scene, the not worked composition, visual angle, light ... etc ... of my photo
After to place the mirror in the way my backstop on the opposite wall can be reflected on it, I tried to place the flash in the right direction (must to think about mirror and reflect of flash ) :
Still testing the light and camera position (portrait or landscape)" I am still not pleased with the result here
Ok testing body position, to be more on the light:
Na, that is so ugly must to adjust the distance, my tripod and the camera angle
LoL : ok TOO much UP !
Ok starting to make sens but something still wrong, too much celling ... Hello Soleil the cat !
Ok the distance seems good, not enough lighting, and the camera isn't on level
What Nahum will look now ! :
I loved this one, but ... (I choose another one, showing more complicity between Nahum & me) ... but not so happy with the focus and light
So working the focus, and working the composition, put my camera in landscape position,
I will have less celling, and more of us :
Hum now need to pay attention to my body height for no to have the flash reflecting bad on us, I must to me more down :
AWWWW PERFECT ! YEAH !!! But it miss somebody there !!!! :
Oh nooo, Nahum has his head hidden ! :
LoL : Kisses during the work, isn't always easy to handle :
This one is so cute too, but we are to high. I think I should have done a better work with the flash en light without to have problem reflection in the mirror, but well well well ... :
Oh I love this one too :
FINISH !!! My Famous Model is tired and want to go ... :
ENJOY ! my NON-Artistic work !
Oh, well. You can't please everyone. At least those of us who are your fans will always love seeing you and your ferrets.
ReplyDeleteYa your true, and I agree with you. My point is that they reject it because it was a not worked photography, I found quite amusing after to have spend so much time to come to something ok.
ReplyDeleteWill be better to simply said they don't like it instead of to say it is not a worked one.
Thank Natalie for your kindness of to be one of my best fans :D
I think your photo is absolutely perfect..and it has a soul..
ReplyDeleteI know how difficult is make a good ferret photo..everyone who has ferrets knows that..
I also saw a lot photos on some photo-sites that in my opinion doesn't deserve to be there..
I'm your fan!
Dearest,
ReplyDeleteI'm JJPeste! :)
I understand why you're frustrated. I personally think their view is a bit limitated. so, don't be sad or upset. The fact your picture has not been accepted does not mean you failed, but it means your point of view is bigger that someone else's. :)
I can understand the point of view of the group. Probably they have a ton of picture regarding relatives, animals etc and they adopted this solution for everyone. And you have to be honest.. Nanhum and the others are so cute and tender and it should happens that someone fav your picture because of them without looking carefully at your work in making the shot. That's why I think that the "making of..." is a great thing you did. You showed everyone that there is so much more behind those little black eyes!
I send you a big hug! :)
