Maybe it would have helped to explain that Josh, let people know something about you, that you're 17 and just got a p&s. Titling the thread Troll fest could make it seem like, well, you're just here to troll around...
If you're really interested in learning photography maybe start with posting in Just for fun or Beginners, and go from there to posting in other threads for discussions or critique, etc.
(Since this is now in Just for Fun I debated whether to say this, but I see something I thought worth commenting on, just a suggestion... FWIW I like the idea and you saw a great subject, just watch when you frame shots for things like people's legs in the background that are just kind of sticking into your picture. Try moving around a little and changing your vantage point and see what you get in the frame.)
.That's a sure way to stifle getting any better.. . . let's post what we have and concentrate on the good!
We learn from making mistakes.
If we aren't told what mistakes we're making, we won't learn how to avoid making the same mistakes repeatedly.

There's already a very active forum for that Josh. It's called Facebook.
Seriously, C&C here is what brought my photography from the depths to what it is now (some might say still in the depths ).
OK, so some of the criticism can be harsh, not everyone is gentle and after the 9,756th noob posts a blurry photo of a random prettyish girl and thinks he/she is the next Ansel Adams one can understand why people tend to be just plain honest. [/QUOTE

I would suggest that those of you who continue to comment here give it a rest. From the start, yes, the OP should have posted in a more appropriate forum rather than one that leaves his snaps open to C&C. The thread has been moved and a public explanation to the OP has been given.
The OP's photographic journey may not resemble yours. In fact, he may never choose to embark on one but, in the meantime, he has the right to post here and not be pounced on. The OP may soon enough take a look at his beginning efforts and form new conclusions about them, but being jeered at and told to go elsewhere at this stage is totally uncalled for.
It's so easy to take swipes at a newcomer and then hide behind taking the high road when the newcomer gets defensive. Why this behavior continues to entertain some of you is beyond me.
