Blurryeyed Loc: NC Mountains.

I have participated in the Macro Forum here since becoming a member and have found it to be quite a learning experience for many who go there. I have seen newbies come to the section and post what were horrible macro pics, but because of the efforts of a very active section admin and the encouragement and coaching of many more accomplished members I have seen those same newbies begin posting excellent work, work that took me a couple of years to figure out these guys were getting the hang of in months... I hope that this proves to be that kind of section, where gentle critique is encouraged and always accompanied by positive suggestions. Street photography is very subjective, people see different things in different pics but having said that I hope that this does not prove to be a forum where people just post snapshots and others provide positive feed back sans critique and suggestions for enhancing the work.

I say this because I am sure that my skills in this art form are completely lacking, should I post here I would hope that more accomplished photographers would coach me along in improving my work...

Good luck to you guys.

One of the other things that makes the True Macro section conducive to learning is, rudeness, trolls, general disrespect, etc. are not tolerated. I hope that holds true here also.
