My photos, per request.

And comments like this is what discourage people from even caring. I wasn't taking the photo to a high standard, and so it should not be judged to such. There are much better ways to make your points without the attitude you present. Secondly I wasn't making excuses. I was explaining how I got the shot with what I had. There was no excuse, its just background to the picture. I don't even know what lens I would need to get a picture with the tree to not be there.

Good point, buddy.

Grow thicker skin or don't show your work. Life isn't about rainbows and butterflies and I'm not going to hold your hand and bullshit you.

I wasn't holding you to any standard other than that of a properly exposed and framed picture. You were not judged on artistic merit, in fact you weren't judged at all actually. There is a right way, and a wrong way and it's as simple as that.



There is nothing wrong with the critique you got and everything wrong with your attitude. Learn to take criticism and grow from it. Don't get defensive, don't make excuses, and don't claim that someone else killed your drive. You think I like every critique I get? Hell no.. Suck it up and use it as fuel to do better next time..

If you want a copy of Understanding Exposure I'll give you one of mine.

So you were holding him to a standard.

yea...noted:
if exposure is off don't say anything.
if framing is off don't say anything.
if wb is off and there are objects growing out of the subject say nothing.

wait..if i say nothing however will he learn? you do him disservice by not helping him learn.

p.s. don't chided me llike i told the guy his pics suck, i told him about the flaws so he could learn. wtf did you guys do cept tell him he did good? There is no rule about critique and i was respectful and tried to help him. so...until there is a rule against either, please brothers save your chiding please.

Say something that could change that picture. Pretend he knows what you know about photography and then tell me something that could have been done.

I don't get it--he didn't ask you to teach him, yet I see this argument that you are trying to.
