Not so proud

So Friday is my last class. I have one more exam AND the FREE assignment. But I don't know how to feel about my shoot. Often I have a certain feeling about a shoot. Sometimes that means I love my photo's, I cherish my photos and am proud of my photos. But this time I am just not sure, I am certainly not proud. Often I am so hard on myself. Feeling that nothing is good about my photo's. I've been busy, so very busy that I feel I did not give it my best shot. I just showed my photo's to a colleague, he's got an eye for these things and he was more positive about the shoot than I am. Still, I'd like to post the photo's and see what you think. Honestly, there are 2 options: 1 is that you will help me see what I've done and be proud of it, maybe it's not that bad after all..... or 2: it's really that bad. Please feel free to be honest with me, if you think it's really not that good, please let me know. If this simply does not add up for a last assignment, please let me know. Not that I have that much time left, but I could still make something happen tomorrow or Thursday morning. I need a series of 8 so pick your favs if you have any (I think 5 might be usable out of this series.) I did several shoots in the fields and I think I like the fog series the best. Combining 2 shoots doesn't really work in my opinion for the lighting is very different and thus the atmosphere so I will also get up at 5 am tomorrow morning to see if I can get some more shots, in the morning fog. As far as my camera goes, it's a bit challenging, but it's holding up. I also did not do any editing. So here we go:

  1. I honestly think these are great. I love them in Black and White, and my favorite is the 6th one down. The symmetry is perfect! Maybe if you try doing some editing, you will like them more, but I love the natural feel of these.

  2. I love these. The black and white makes them really have a unique feel to them.

  3. I've never commented on your photos before, but I periodically peek over here to see what you're up to.

    Honestly, I love these photos. They are fantastic, especially 1,2, and 4. The first one is my favorite of them all. The mood, the lighting, the fog, the composition... it's perfect.

    I know it's hard to go easy on yourself, but you really do have talent.

  4. I honestly think these are wonderful. Don't be so hard on yourself, you are still learning after all!

  5. I love these shots! Not only because I group with cattle, but I think they're more fine artish. I love how it's almost portraits of the animals than anything. I think the picture where the two cows are looking at each other is fun you can take it two ways, they're staring each other down, or they're about to kiss. Take your pick. Great job!
