My works have been rejected by a free stock photo exchange. I don't get it. They booted me on technical aspects saying the photos were flat. Is my work crap? I thought I had some good stuff, wonder if I should try again but I feel defeated. I have been having a bad few days and this just tops the cake. Here I have been thinking that I am getting some good stuff and now rejection. Even though I know, I KNOW, I am doing good work I feel like maybe it just plain sucks and I am deluding myself. Doubt how I hate thee.My Rejected Work.
i like your work. so a great big raspberry to the stock photo people.though, this particular shot is not one of my personal favorites. i really like your color plant shots.
ReplyDelete:( Try not to get discouraged. The very essence of art is that it evokes strong emotion, no one said it all had to be positive emotions. I know my husband gets incredibly angry with me because my reaction to a lot of art (be it visual, or musical) is "eh, it's ok" There have been very few things I have come across in my life that make me say "OMG I hate it!!" or, "OMG, I love it!" For the record, I HATE opera. Don't ask me why. That is my very strong opinion about it, I can't change it.
ReplyDeleteDon't let 1 (or even 50) person / people's opinion get you down. If someone has a legitimate critique, take that and learn from it, if you choose. This is YOUR art, and ultimately, it will reflect you, and the things that you love.
MJ if YOU like it and you know the people who love you like it, who the hell cares that some failed artist sitting in at desk doesn't??? Your pics are beautiful and serene and that is very comforting in today's world. It's not like you're trying to get into National Geographic or Vanity Fair, so do what you love even if no one else sees it. It is part of you and that can't be anything but good. *HUGS*
