>>3767858my intentions never have to do with the "quality" of the photo; this is always subjective and in almost all cases is a pointless pursuit because it means different things across so many people. my goals are usually for myself, although I like knowing other people's thought processes (hence my asking you /p/hucks, such as:
when I look at this photo I want to be able to feel the crispy breeze that was blowing on my skin when I took it, I want to be able to be drawn across the valley in an imaginary vehicle, to feel the centrifugal force as I round the turns, to smell the pines as I drive among them, etc...
I did an ok job, but not the best I've ever done. it helps me to ask others because I can find out new ways that I wouldn't have thought of to approach the same goal by getting others' opinions, and if I do a good enough job I can share the experience with others.
>>3767935discussion isn't being pissy. I'm not even a little mad, in fact I'm appreciative of the feedback that was useful. this was explicit, and literally none of the phrasing in that entire paragraph is confrontational or defensive. there was one line that was hostile later on, although it was meant mostly sarcastically (genuine apologies if I hurt anyone's feelings with it).
if you think disagreement is necessarily confrontation or defensiveness, my recommendation to go outside now includes interacting with more people, because that is objectively incorrect and this can be learned by interacting with people you disagree with.
