Don't worry, I too occasionally press the shutter while taking the camera out of the bag.

Ivo,
I have to admit that one reasonable way to interpret the negative responses you got here is that these guys (including me) are so stuck in their habitual ways of seeing that they just don't get whatever you are trying to get across in your image.

I will readily admit that I didn't "get" whatever the point of your image was, but Solobodan's witty response was easy to "get."

Don't give up!   :D

Were you trying to make a comment on the dicotomy of an aspirational advertisement in the background with the reality of what we get - ordinary cabbage ?

That is what i got out of it after a couple cups of coffee. ;)

Thanks for your adult reply, Eric.

Photography is a journey and not all outings are successful in terms of other peoples approval. I don’t mind.

I could take the easy lane an share the stuff understood as ‘good photography ’ here on Lula. I prefer not to take the easy lane. That includes I’m perfectly happy with comments on my attempts.

The strange thing is, and this is something a few peoples around here could take in consideration: I have posted enough images that shows where I’m standing, photographically speaking. I do know what I ‘m doing. Nobody of that specific incrowd club even think to ask: why did you take this image? What do you want to show? Where are you going?

Shortsighted it is, at least.

That said, today I visited a retrospective of Stephan Vanfleteren, one of Belgium’s Magnum photographers, this visit puts things in perspective and it confirms my attitude towards my own photographic endeavors, it’s only an attempt. 🤗

I’m touched, really. 🙃

Yes, that’s why I took the picture.
And because the light is not unpleasantly helping a bit, for me, it’s a modest keeper.

Oh, believe me, we do ask that all the time: why, oh, why, did he take that image!?

When everyone thinks the same nobody thinks.

 If you had posted the image in Street Showcase then you would have received a more understanding response. ;)

Seems that lost heads are also vegetative and interchangable.
