I've been slammed about everything that I have done all my life by my dad, his family and others, even the good things, so I have learned to consider the source. So it doesn't bother me, but I can understand how others might be badly affected. Good constructive criticism can be misinterpreted, but should be considered to be helpful as it was intended.

I am not a good enough photographer to be critical of other people's work, so I don't say anything.


I am not a good photographer myself but love just having fun with it. I even sell several pictures every year but I say let those who strive to be perfect go right ahead, but they should never be unkind for any reason, no matter how bad they think our work is.
Everyone should be kind and everyone should toughen up just in case they run into the snarkies.
I'm sorry you learned to be strong the hard way, but being strong keeps us from quitting! Keep on keeping on Dean!

I don't care how puffed up you are about your own excellence as a photographer, (pro or not), it can't be a good thing to downgrade someone else's work with snarky comments. You know who you are. You don't care that we know who you are.
Sometimes we admire a person simply because we admire their talent or skill as a great photographer, but when they make snarky remarks to someone who is just enjoying photos they made and so happy that they got them, they are stealing that person's joy.
This happens here too often and makes me wonder what kind of person feels good about doing a thing like that!
We may admire your work as a gifted photographer from now on but some of us will surely cease to admire you as the photographer you are, because of your pathetic attitude toward others.
That's all. I truly feel like I have not stepped on any toes that did not deserve it.
To the rest of you, I will keep looking at and enjoying your photos.

You are spot on, I enjoy the joking and banter but totally lost respect for the forum when it went to such a dark area of mean spirited posts. I am glad I am not the only one that sees this, and thank you for being bold enough to point it out.

Thank you for that nice response Ron. Sadly, there will always be some who just don't have it in their hearts to be kind..

I had the best hubby for 56 years, but if he had been looking for perfection, he'd have kept looking!!! I'd have been an old maid!!!


For sure!!! I had the best wife for 56 years. She passed a couple of months ago. Soooo glad she never looked for perfection!! Well said with your post. If you have nothing nice to say, keep your mouth shut!
