On the Colorizing series, 53 and counting... (Page 3): You two are funny. After 50 odd pics Rongnongno says they are repetitive but until that point has not offered any advice on how...

Rongnongno is simply stating that the images are boring and repetitious, which is his right as a UHH member. And c'mon, there has been a heck of a lot of these pictures, hasn't there. Others (me included) agree. Others, on the other hand, like them. Simple as that. I can't see where he has said Tonne shouldn't post his pictures; he is merely making a simple and honest observation.

You two are funny.
After 50 odd pics Rongnongno says they are repetitive but until that point has not offered any advice on how to improve Jim's workflow? So what part of his criticism isn't saying that Jim should stop posting.
I am more surprised at you though because I know how good your editing skills are, so perhaps you could suggest some ways that Jim could improve his skills?

Easily explained. I do not hang around this section. I check once every six months or so to see if there has been some improvement. Yesterday... Well #1, #2, .../..., #53 of the exact same dismal work that does not improve over time.

Every time I check this I am baffled by the lack of quality, the horrendous comments on the models... Sometimes there is an individual that shows originality and tries to break the boundaries. These folks do not fit the 'norms' and are quickly sent packing. Few are posting stolen images, I spotted a couple and had them banned.

Every time I post my opinion on what I see, a controversy starts. I once criticized the tawdry pictures posted as being out of place on UHH. (Filipinas in various stages of undress in an equally tawdry 'navy' bar). To me that was simply disgusting, a catering to the basest instinct of a few here, not 'art' or even 'a photo journalistic essay'.

Why would I offer any suggestions to Tonne about his editing skills? I merely agreed with the observation that there is a lot of the same stuff. I rarely comment on, or view Tonne's images, as I well know what to expect. A forum, by definition, is a medium by where ideas/opinions are exchanged. And that is all that has happened here; a passing comment concerning repetition. Unfortunately, some posters on here take offence at the slightest criticism or suggestions no matter how positive or constructive, which is indicative of an individual seeking only positive feedback and plaudits. And that sort of negates the point of posting anyway; unless, of course, the criticism is malicious.

I respect your choice of course, but I thought some helpful tips might be more useful to Jim and UHH as a whole, and I thought with your editing skills, you might be a good mentor for him.
No probs.

I like Jim's work but apparently some "children" object to it. A bunch of kids tossing their toys out of their strollers. Ignore what you don't like.

The thing that's a little odd here is that when people take umbrage at an observation/comment about an individual's post; they say, "don't look." In which case, the same can be said of that person if they don't like that particular comment, don't read it.

Wrong, I do not 'hate this section'.

What I find offensive is the type of 'art' offered and the folks comments on them.

THAT is my beef.

As to your assumption...

I looked at 53, 52, 51 and jumped to the first. All the same so, boring, meaningless since there is no progress in the quality. As to the comment on them? Equally, boring, no one seems to care about offering advice on how to improve.
