I seldom post anything because I don't feel my photos are great. I just don't have the eye to create great photos. I enjoy photos posted by others, but I would never insult someone intentionally, for any reason. If I post a comment, I really enjoyed the photo and want to let them know it made me happy.

Believe it or not, I am a very strong willed woman who has run several companies. I make decisions quickly and analyze results. Maybe I'm too critical of my own work. I sure have learned a lot about improving my photos. Hopefully one day I will post something that I like and let others enjoy it, too.

My photos are not great either...if fact not even good most of the time, forget great, but shame on you. You should simply dive right in and show what you like. Let people see what you enjoy and either like it or pass it on by.
There is already a "best" photographer in the world and a "worst" photographer in the world and I don't think either one posts here. LOL!
We are all somewhere in between. Please jump in and share your fun.

You can say "reasonable expectations" or such, but the bottom line is, unless you ask the photographer their intent, you don't know.

I read your initial post as your being open to discussion, but it quickly became apparent you really were in rant mode, with no interest in understanding all that has been written by those of us who are explaining the reasons to not indulge your ego with unsolicited advice.


Wow!

It was fascinating to read the six pages of comments in your topic of Dec 29, titled Wanna see some blue eyes?

I won't repeat your potty-mouth response to the section police here, but I think the comment I've pasted below, written by a sympathetic supporter in that thread, says exactly what many of us have been trying to teach you, beginning with my page 1 comment about Photo Gallery being primarily a social sharing site:

"What's is the purpose of posting snap shots other than to connect with other members that may share a sense of empathy for kids they will never meet in their lifetime?"

That’s my thinking as well. Photo Gallery is just that, a gallery of photos. Some good, some not so good in in Photo Gallery it doesn’t matter. The Analysis section, people post there for a reason, they want to be critiqued. So fire away over there.

That section has strict guidelines; if not followed, Admin will move the topic to Gallery:

It's not so much critique as problem solving

I agree.

I try to envelop my critics with something positive, respectful and constructive criticism and then something nice again.

I too have seen some very soft, blurry, out of focus images that get rave reviews when what is getting complimented is a beautiful bird, flower or some other subject and not the image - detail, focus, composition, lighting etc.

Getting pretty “deep” at this point in the discussion. I’m not a philosopher, but focused and not in focus or level horizon vs tilted horizon are binary choices. They’re not subjective. 😎


They are subjectively unimportant to people who don't care about that sort of structure.

I do, deeply, and I pay attention to stuff like that. But my point is, someone else's definition of quality may be, "Look, Ma, I got a picture of Bigfoot!" Never mind it's blurry, tilted 12° off-level, overexposed, out of focus, and sun-flared!

Of course, I'd argue that all those errors could have been deliberate, to mask the fact that it's just the photographer's friend, Bubba Bigboy, wearing a Wookie Halloween costume and running through the woods...
