>>3111418Ah, no, you're right. I see what you mean. Yeah, I decided to crop that out because my shutter speed wasn't the best and her foot turned out blurry.
Is this any better?
Thanks for the crit though. Sorry if a seem oppositional, I'm not trying to be, I just want to fully understand what I did wrong.
>>3111420Maybe. But right now I like it. I'm trying to figure out why I shouldn't.
>>3111421If we're going by consensus definition here then I'll do you one better
www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/portrait>a pictorial representation of a person usually showing the face>usuallyMeaning not necessarily. The only definite the definition gives is that it's a picture of a person.
But that's not my point. My point is that portrait is just a symbol we've created to represent something more complex than it can describe. If you lurk on /ic/ at all, this relates to that "symbol drawing" thing they're always nagging people about in beginner threads.
So, what's the deeper meaning? What separates true portraiture from some selfie a slut takes on snapchat?
By this definition both are portraits.
