Hello Reuss,
Honestly, there are times when I am at a loss as to how to respond to a comment such as yours. The reason I say
this is because with all my years on this awesome site I have witnessed many heated and inflammatory exchanges
that do become quite ugly and summarily, one or more members gets booted off of this site permanently.
In a nutshell, your comment begins as a glowing, very complimentary review and ends up stating what you would
and would not do. No image is perfect. I believe it is a case where one bad apple does not spoil the whole barrel.
With all of the high praise and awards this image has received here and on many other sites, your comment is the
only one with a negative perspective. I cannot shape or mold my work with the intention or concerns about how
someone else thinks or may think I should do my work. Thnx for reading. Hope this finds you well. :)

On the one hand you didn’t ask for a critique so he probably shouldn’t have given one. On the other hand he said he liked the image and only offered a mild bit of advice and it seems your reaction is way overblown. Truthfully I disagree with him. I don’t think it’s over saturated at all. It’s a nice image but I doubt your assertion that it has “won awards”. You say that’s the only negative comment, but maybe that’s because you posted in a forum where negative comments are frowned upon. That’s why I rarely post images here. I get all the glowing praise I need from friends and family. When I post for other photographers I’d rather get peer review. I often disagree but I also often learn and it has made me a better photographer.
