This image is all about having a little bit of fun with various techniques and tools to make an image
Well that is and interesting response, I don't quite understand why you have responded in the way that you have :shrug: I see that we have a word for word correlation between posts in this thread and post in this recent one of mine, no I don't mind C&C on my images but why are you seemingly being a little childish over the critique that you've received
If you don't like what I've put in your thread in my first post then please feel free to RTM my post, I have no issue with a moderator checking my post

I think to be honest, that it's something that comes with the territory in the creative section - if you've done something that's a little experimental, or perhaps something with very subtle creative work on the photoshop side that people may not "get" straight away - then there's always going to be a possibility that people will either say "I don't get it" or "What's so creative about that".
I know when I've posted in here, I've always tried to explain something about the underlying thought processes behind my image. I can appreciate that you may well feel "It's Art - it Doesn't need Explaination" - but if someone asks why you consider a shot "creative" then the onus is on you to explain why without any dummy-spitting or otherwise childish behaviour. This forum exists for sharing pictures, and for giving and recieving critique. If you don't want critique, don't post in here - if you do get critique, or get asked for clarification, take the crit. on board or give the clarification.
Just before this gets slightly out of hand
Matt asked me a question that I had no answer to
I could have answered with a load of bovine dropping such as the walnut sets off the brass and the time clock is being representative of the working class. The blue sky is expectation at the end of the day
But to be honest I havn't a clue The clock was a nice bit of workmanship but it didnt inspire me after I had taken it So I altered it (creativly) the nearset I could get to an explanation is its an electronically manipulated doodle but it was FUN
The answer Matt gave about his image was better than anything I could come up with
As for critique I have tried my best in other sections of this forum to give and take (and suffered both pat and kick)
I do know what this forum is about and how quickly people get touchy
Great that you've spotted that ' people get touchy! ', but that's the nature of Forums; take no notice!
Matt does have it right, 'If you don't want critique, don't post'.
Merry Christmas
:bonk:you may wish to rephrase / punctuate that comment fuzzy, so as to not give the impression that you think a moderator is spreading rumours about you... :bonk:
