OK, NOW!!

I have a couple of SLAMMIN' HOT images in my portfolio, I'd like feedback on. But I gotta WARN YOU before you say anything negative, I've got a really good excuse for any mistakes you find. So It's not like I'm being defensive or anything; it's just that I probably know more about photography than you do.

ANYHOW, I'd LOVE your FEEDBACK as long as it's really effusive and tongue-in-cheek.

GWC!

On the image shot in the field behind Denny's ...lol...

I call that my "david hambleton effect" or whatever. The model took her top off! You can't see from there but her titties are bare under her hair!

You appeal to the cantankerous teenager that's still in me in some ways.

On Chanta Rose's picture...

Chanta Rose! MAN! She TURNED AROUND right before I shot her and the shutter-lag on my camera made me take this PICTURE of her BUTT!

That and the fact you were standing behind someone else to give the effect of "sneaking a shot in", adds to the howling in my LOL.

I dont want to seem defensive or anything but...
DUDE! That was a SERIOUS PHOTO! It's not MY FAULT that Chanta moved too fast for me! I was trying to compose with my zoom lens so that I got her magnificent b(o)(o)bies completely into the picture and SHE MOONED ME!

WHAT is an ARTIST to DO!?

I suppose this is the point where I need to look at your portfolio and ask "WHO ARE YOU TO CRITIQUE ME ANYHOW!!?" but you might actually be a better photographer than I am so I am not gonna go there.

The image of your business card in the mirror shows effective use of depth of field. Did you do that deliberately or were you just lucky?

For a photographer who seems to rely on luck a lot, it's been letting you down.

Well, everyone usually says nice stuff about pictures that are full of hot chicks, so I assumed everyone would be fallin' all over themselves to say "DAMN GWC, HOW DID YOU GET THAT SLAMMIN' CHICK TO TAKE HER SHIRT OFF?" or stuff like that!!

The artistic qualities of your work find a perplexing stature within your legion of collegues, to which a mere simple explanation cannot be derived.

Only the comparative and superlative forms of adjectives and adverbs can be used without direct reference to anything else when it comes to your accomplishments to date.

I am only left to ponder the fate of critique in the most worthy cause I know, Latin. 

I'll call this "absolute use" of language for critique and find different ways to translate it.  For the comparative, I'd say "rather" instead of "more." For the superlative, I'd say "very" instead of "most."

As the above pertains to your resolve to extend your artistic endeavor, if the adjective fortior being used absolutely, you'll translate it as rather brave, instead of braver. Fortissimus used absolutely would be very brave, instead of most brave.

So behold the review with this deserving simplicity:  fortior fortissimus.  "You are rather brave with a very brave approach." 

Given such depth, I fear Latin can't put words into the ablative case to specify by how much the overall works possess a quality.

No, I'm a surfer.  I'm stoked you like the review.  You just happened to catch me after taking taking some wild air coming out of the tube...then to see your work was just xtreme.

Remember, If you've got a bumpy, red patch on your stomach, either you're surfing a lot, or you need to go the doctor.
