This...
This is both beautiful and sad as hell...

Aaah, the duality of these things.

Personally, I just like the escape from established society. I know it's there for a purpose, the greater good, but damn do I need to escape from it (and people) sometimes.

That is true. Sometimes, society just pisses you off, and you've got to get away from it before you do something stupid.

0.0 this is amazing!! what camera do you use??

Olympus E-P3 with the 12mm f/2.0 stopped down to f/5.6 for sharpness. Micro Four Thirds all the way, hurr. :B

That looks sooooo amazing!! did you edit it at all?

Got a pretty routine batch of edits I usually run. Tweak it in ACR until the initial image matches my tastes, then I hit it with a channel mixer adjustment layer to drop the red channel a bit (brings out the shadows), burn and dodge on curves adjustment layers... that's it, really. I try not to do anything too drastic... I'm of the school of thought that a collection of subtle changes are what make an image rather than a blatant assault of obvious ones. Just me, though. It's art, it's always done to taste. :)

Its amazing!! I am just really jealous. I wish i could get my photography to look like this!

You'll get there. It's a passion, dude, and like all passion it just takes time.

I used to have that jealousy issue. Would compare my work to that of people who had been established and self-sabotage, leaving myself entirely deflated and discouraged because I insisted on comparing myself to people with YEARS more experience and effort in the field. Took a long time to beat that habit. Which is to say you will too, and it's really among the top 10 most liberating feelings in a lifetime.

Honestly, I've only ever really been at all confident in my own work in the past 2 years tops, and I've been shooting since 2003... it takes time. Keep at it. :P

I Actually love my work a lot. and I really don't care what people think of it. I love it! I accept critique but if i don't agree with that person on what i need to improve then i'm not going to go forth on improving what they think i need to improve.

More power to ya, dude. I don't think I applied anyone else's suggestion, though I did humor a listen and perhaps it influenced my work in some subtle way vicariously. But yeah... carve your own path. Take a machete to those bushes!

if you want to see an example of my work. here is a link to one if my pictures http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7090858/

Has a very lomo film look to it. I like that look a lot, actually - buddy of mine shoots places like the one I've shot here with a little Diana film camera loaded with the lomo stuff. I envy his ballsiness to shoot film. :P

The Lomo whas added during editing. My favorite effect are the sharpness and the contrast
