Dont know when a photo of a dog on your porch or back yard, or images of your cat on a couch became nature... but apparently it has.
I love animals but to accept this I would think they have to be WILD and not human fabricated (yes fabricated) and domesticated animals.
Not to mention I was told by a "critic" / submission officer that my image had "quite bad composition"
but traveling into this "critics"/ submission officers gallery i found that they use Depth of Field poorly, their composition is lacking, they take images of lack luster landscapes and has nothing "unique".
But other than that I do not think I'm the greatest photographer in the world, I do not care if I'm booted from that group that is accepting LOWER forms of NATURE photography and floods my deviantwatch box daily with CRAP.
DONT GET ME WRONG THERE ARE GOOD IMAGES IN THERE but there is CRAP TOO.

- my image that was shunned
feel free to comment.
feel free to say my work sucks.
but in the end, it's me that has to enjoy my work. Not You.
ps. I love my fans. Thanks for the support.
