Demysifying my brain

[alaios]

Hi all,
below you will find some shots that somehow I "like". That does not mind that I find them exceptionally good or excellent. I just think that they have "something" that perhaps I have to work more with. I am not even why I am sharing those. There is something inside me asking me to do more....still though lost in space

Regards
Alex

Seems to me a preoccupation with squares and rectangles, perhaps?

I kinda know what you mean about liking a photo, but not really sure why you like it? Something like texture or color or even the mood it evokes can all contribute to this feeling of like (or the reverse, of course).

Here's one that I would say is following the general theme you've presented:

Hi thanks for the answer
I also like your shot too.
Perhaps I see these also as potential backgrounds with a right model in front complementing the scene.. who knows?

I like these shots a lot (both of you). Alex, No1 and 3 are terrific imo, and cooltouch I just adore that shot.

I am a huge fun of compositional elements in photography, and consider it a goal in its own right. Photography is more than documenting a scene, and as such these examples work well for me. Good work!

It's hardly a rare thing though, and in fact my fave photographer Pete Turner did this all the time.

Here are some of mine, but I know why I like them as I actively look for compositions like these:

I liked your second one with the window.. MY feeling is that still is missing something.. and this something is a major... perhaps a body element or a story to be told.. I think that these perhaps make intresting backgrounds for portraiture work... not sure though..

Alex..
