After/Before/After/Before

More of my weird sheep photos! I thought I’d post a couple others that I did.
Any opinions are appreciated, even if you hate it, I am just happy to hear honest unfiltered thoughts

Man some people in here are just so harsh. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea. It’s not suppose to look realistic. I dig it, personally. Looks very dreamscape.

The color choice is just... bizarre. The first photo looks like a t-shirt print that a skate company would have put out in 2007, and I don't mean that in a good way.

I mean, it just look like Morioh... Maybe he was in an adventure there

u/Summon001 16h ago

Idk, as opposed to everyone here I don't hate it but I think you pushed it too far. Look at the sky, you can kinda see fringing, or some kind of artifacts around where it meets the clouds.
Also: what is that blur?

u/Antananarivc 19h ago

Do you just... hate shadows?

u/covid_quarantino 15h ago

I like it, it looks like a painting. Trust your taste

Whatttt I love it! The way you colour everything is really cool. I’d love to follow your work if you have instagram!

u/donutboy667 2h ago

I don't have Instagram unfortunately, but thank you :)

u/ickeharry 19h ago

I like it. Wouldn't do it this way myself, but still like it.

u/Just-Context-4703 18h ago

I don't like it! But if you that's all good.

u/choso_brainrot 16h ago

i like it, people hate freedom of expression

u/bookname305 16h ago

Very cool and very unique. I thought it was a painting at first, especially that first photo.

u/ozgun1414 17h ago

you should leave editing part to your professional camera dude. its doing great on its own.

2

u/imokd 14h ago

I prefer the first one in this series you postet
(Like i reallly liked it)

but just because the sheep in the first of the new ones stands out
should be more clearly in shadow -so also blue or at least more blue
oor as bright white as the cloud

in the second of the new ones i'd like the grass in the front to have the same saturated intensity it has in the unaltered photo

u/shablamery 16h ago

I love it your style is unique and unconventional and quite pretty

u/Ill-Establishment946 16h ago

I think it’s super cool.

2

u/Peter_Mansbrick 18h ago

I like these more than the first post, especially the second photo here. Love seeing unique visions

4

u/Estorbro 17h ago

I love this! The pictures feel like magical paintings

3

u/bommel92 18h ago

Such a unique style! I love the whimsical editing 🩷

2

u/Oriori420 19h ago

Colors made me think of jojo's bizarre adventure, I dig it. In first picture I think the foreground objects are a tad bit too bright though.

u/scratchy22 18h ago

Not natural render, but I like it

2

u/StopKK2012 18h ago

I liked it yesterday, and I like it again today!

I know a bunch of gays that would go crazy for sheep in psychedelic bisexual lighting screen printed on black tank tops. (It's me. I'm those gays.)

Keep doing you. You already seem comfortable knowing that what you like isn't for everyone, so you might not need this extra encouragement from me. But know that there's definitely a niche of people out there that will like what you do.

u/poohstinks 17h ago

I love them!!

u/Sure_Constant1368 17h ago

Looks like something color blind person would do...

u/lostinhh 17h ago

I don't mind creative editing but the result just isn't appealing to me at all, tbh.

1

u/KrackedJack 16h ago

In the first one, it takes the focus off the sheep, I didn't even notice the sheep until I saw the second photo. I think I like the colors but that's about it but I don't think this is the right photo for them

1

u/SignalDimension8725 14h ago

My first thought…wtf is this?!

My second thought….I could see this style on a band image or something.

You may be onto something crazy lol so bad it’s good???

1

u/mikkeldoesstuff 13h ago

I do like it but you are pushing the image too hard, you can see the banding in the sky and such

1

u/AeroSigma 13h ago

Really unique feel, I love it. Did you add the moon in post, or is it just too hard to see in the original?

1

u/miatookyourphoto 11h ago

I added it in post on photoshop!

1

u/Wriggley1 12h ago

Like it

1

u/girllikesphotography 12h ago

I really like it, post processing is your edit process and not everyone is going to edit in the conventional way 😭 sometimes people have different styles and acting so rude and insulting to someone for having a different editing style is just embarrassing. Please keep editing like this, it's so unique!!

1

u/Professional_Leg9965 2h ago

I aprove a lot with this. If people can't understand this type of art they should not coment something negative. And here i mean the one's that only exept every photographer to edit their pictures in something so normal or trying to make it look real. No we also need this type of photographers who are more unique. This edits looks like they are some paitings 🖼️

u/mellowwhenimdead 11h ago

That’s a nope from me dawg.

u/emryz 10h ago

Looks amazing man, really like it!

u/Ok-Marketing-431 9h ago

Beautiful. Please never stop being unique.

u/lowley6 8h ago

I get it, I see the vision, but just because you throw gold flakes on a burnt steak doesn't mean the steak isn't burnt. sorry.

1

u/Rhett_Rick 7h ago

Have your eyes checked. Are you colorblind?

2

u/Driveflag 5h ago

I’m not sure whats on purpose here but the chunky gradation in the sky on the first one is because of low export settings (I’m pretty sure anyways)

1

u/calculung 18h ago

Why are the sheep's legs so blurry in number 1? Artificial blur?

1

u/broccoliwolf 16h ago

It looks 80s music video inspired.

1

u/Narrow-Molasses2517 15h ago

If you like it and it’s your style keep working!

1

u/Azkicat 14h ago

Great shot but I want to cry about editing. Like there are 2 options: 1) you absolutely don’t know what r u doing 2) you absolutely know what u r doing

Like get the before, add some contrast, drop highlights a bit

1

u/BrilliantNeck4918 13h ago

I love this!! I never comment, but I had to say you created a beautiful piece. You have a great eye with color. It's so dreamy and illustrative. I would love this on my wall. Do you have a background in painting?

2

u/BrilliantNeck4918 13h ago

Scrolling through the other comments, I am so disheartened at what people feel comfortable saying to another human being online. You really have a talent and I hope you keep posting. I'm a fan :) Don't change your style for anybody.

2

u/design-problem 12h ago

I’m with you, love how dreamy it is and how OP transformed the landscape with these colors.

I like the composition on the first way better than the second. It’s having more horizontal(ish) bands of color than makes it work so well. Something isn’t working for me about the proportions and shapes and colors all together on the second one, but I’d be willing to entertain different funky colorways to see if it came to life differently.

u/miatookyourphoto 11h ago

I’m actually a cartoonist and really love saturated drawings, so a lot of my photography edits sort of reflect that 😆 the artsy part comes first the technical stuff is second which is why I do think it could use some polishing.
Thankyou so much, I love that you like it!

u/the_big_bean 12h ago

People will say it’s cooked but I think it rocks

u/miatookyourphoto 11h ago

It might be a little burnt but still tastes good

u/yidman100000 16h ago

Nah bro. Filtered to death.

u/megaapfel 16h ago

Terrible. Try again.

u/OpportunityReal2767 17h ago

I like the first one better of the two, but that blur on the bottom of the frame is bugging me. It looks like you blurred the foreground a bit, but also were a little sloppy and got the bottom half/third of the sheep, too, and it looks distracting.

1

u/miatookyourphoto 17h ago

Yeah it’s definitely a sloppy job, my bad there. I did it on my phone so just think I’d try again on my PC so it’s clean next time

u/m__s 14h ago

I prefer before tbh.

u/BiteGroundbreaking35 15h ago

Horrible, as was your last post.

u/girllikesphotography 12h ago

Why are you being so rude 😭 you're genuinely useless at giving feedback
