...for my portfolio samples (Some NSFW)
Hi slackercruster, and welcome to the forum. Unfortunately I am not so familiar with your your acronyms, so I have no idea what a "tog" is, or what NSFW stands for. So I cannot comment on that. I can, however, comment on your work. Different, for sure. Not so sure if it belongs in the "alternate photography" category, however. If I may quote the criteria: "Infrared photography - Polaroid transfers and emulsion lifts - Cyanotypes - If it's alternative post it here." So that is really what the understanding of "alternative" is on this board. Maybe your understanding of the category is a bit different. You say your "alternative style", and that is what it is: your style.

I would have just put the images into the regular category, "show your image", most HDR work or even modified work is shown there. Just a heads up.

I suppose I look at what it is that you, the photographer, is trying to show me, the audience. I base my comments on that, usually. So in looking at your image here I wonder what the intent is? Is it to turn a snapshot into a photograph and calling it "art"?

I like the processing of your image, just not sure what it is you want to say with it.
