Figured I would start us off. 😂 View attachment 20069
Thanks for sharing Hav! Well that was an interesting first experience. It appears they are primarily a U.K. based site. I think they are still working out some of the "issues" with the change. When I first looked, many of the forums hadn't had posts for 2-3 years. Really thought they were just starting back up or something. I posted a couple of macro images in the macro forum. Literally every picture that was there had been posted by the mod. Anyway, I almost instantly start getting polite, but unnecessary criticism on my posts...my DOF (depth of field) is incorrect, I've over sharpened, I should do this, I should do that. I'm fine with it, but I'm literally looking at his posts and they are no better or worse than my own. I'm thinking...."ok", I really didn't ask for an opinion. My philosophy has always been, if somebody asks for CC, by all means, but if they don't and you don't like the image, just keep scrolling. No harm, no fowl. It's art. There are never going to be two people who edit, compose, and shoot the exact same way. Anyway, we'll give it a little time hopefully he'll find other things to work on. I honestly think he's just bored or lonely because he was the only one posting in his forum.Our owners of this forum just added a new forum which I know will interest many here.

Beautiful and great composition Hi! I don’t take it to heart if people don’t like what I do because at the end of the day it’s what I like that matters to me. I was more concerned that the mod is probably going to intimidate some folks from joining or posting by being a bit over zealous. There are some really good photographers who don’t deal with criticism well and are too afraid to post their work as a result. Imagine if I had never posted anything before and that was the first interaction I had with posting a photo.The image is sharper than this photo taken off of my 12 year old notebook screen, but I realized when blown up to 10 by 12 or once, 16 by 20....... That critical sharpness took second place to the colors.
.......now that said, of course I'd rather have owned a large format camera for this image. 😁
Don't worry one bit about others critique. Sure, it can be helpful to learn from it...... But you're well beyond the learning stages.
