jKaye65, This is one of those things that you have to be tastefull in and can be looked at as not constructive criticism. I think you could fall in the Highjacking category even with your own post. For example if you wanted your photo critiqued and perhaps you posted most of these for a comparison, well you're not giving the forum anything to post to compare it with if it was a question with your requested critique, therefore I consider that as Highjacking the whole forum. Because you may be posting too many photos and literaly hurting yourself, this is why on the picture attachment in the reply area there is only 3 slots I'm assuming. So in that case be fare and if applicable, allow someone to critique just a few photos. So in my opinion you could have people avoiding your post possibly because your what seems to appear to bragging in your own Post. So with that and I know it took me a while to get there, but I think you might run in that category. But really you said it yourself just did want to type it in. Well I'm not sure how you can make a Post and explain it with more Photo's. In would try to explain yourself in detail and try to concentrate on getting your message out with one good question on the Photo. Like in my situation that I question, as it was explained it was perfectly okay. But it wouldn't be in my opinion if I had post 5 or 6 Pictures to show how good this lens is. I had to use comin since per say and realize what I'm saying is just constructive criticism. I think if I had saw 5 other people post a photo in regards to how well this Lens preformed, well that is to much and really if you think about it, it would be redundant for me to even further post yet another photo. So in your case it might look and be redundant to me to view all your photo's for one question or one you want me to figure out. You may find aventually that your Post aren't being replyed on maybe because of this, and I know I'd like to be as quick as possible with my question concerning my Post. I've said allot and my opinion is not always correct. Good Luck
jKaye65, This is one of those things that you have... (

Here is my honest opinion, take it for what you will.
When I open a new picture thread and see the photo, 90% of the time it has some glaring (and some not so glaring) flaw. And I do not have a problem with that. This is all about learning the art of photography......and I learn something new everyday.
My issue is when I start reading some of the comments about the "flawed" image. "Perfect", "wouldn't change a thing", "this should be framed and in a museum", etc etc.
Those comments are all misleading and nobody has learned a thing. So on a handful of occasions I have commented on how I feel the photo could be improved. I add a photo of my own to further illustrate the point, not only for the original starter of the thread, but also for all those who made the comments.
If that is "hijacking" then I am guilty as charged. I would rather "show" you what I mean then write a book trying to explaing what makes a decent photo.
A picture is worth 1000 words and if you'd rather have the 1000 words then this forum may not be for me.
