I've be taking pictures since I can remember. Learned a lot, mostly from talking to others. Love people who share criticism and techniques. Even met Ansel Adams in Yosemite, though I didn't know who he was at the time. And no he didn't share any of his secretes. Just encouraged me to shoot B&W.
Anyway I don't consider myself a professional, I just take pictures. Took classes, but in the end my teachers just told me to learn the books to pass the course, but shoot with what God has given me.
I joined google + and posted pictures to get feedback. Their statement was they were there is because photography is a fine art and it deserves a spot. OK? None of my pictures ever got any feedback. I soon found that only the popular kids got likes. Either that or my photo's do suck. Still my mom likes them.
What I want to know is this a fair sight or do I have to wait to be on the popular list to get answers?
Again I am not a pro, but my equipment is, got lucky with happenstances.
I only want honest answers and criticism. I am not looking to be a good old boy.
Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen, looking forward to replies.

Welcome. The site is very real.
You can get help, or you can get accolades. Both are useful. I've posted only a handful of images here, or anywhere on the net (due to usage agreements and copyright issues), but I have commented here about 6200 times. There are some who have commented 10 times more, and posted thousands of images. Others only read, some only troll.
You can use the site for fun, to learn, to kill time... lots of ways.
Welcome to UHH sazfoto, glad you joined us. Don't know of any "good boys list" on UHH, everyone is fair game! There are many sections to the forum, macro, people, sports, critique, for your consideration, street, etc. Click on the "Home" feature at the top of the page and subscribe to the ones that interest you. When you post an image in any section just ask for some feed back, good or bad and ways to improve.
Have fun, learn and enjoy the forum.

Human Nature. I have a reputation of being me, and doing just fine. Thank you.
You. It's for real. Welcome and please post.
I was taught to critique, but for me, what is your reaction when you first saw the picture. To me that's the best critique. So I turn to this forum to get honest reactions from different perspectives. And yes I'm my worst critic. Thank you for the welcome.
Welcome! Looking forward to your posts and pictures. Happy shooting!
This is the place to be if you want to ask questions or just browse.
