- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
Thanks for standing up for me, dearleader.
I do admit, one of my biggest flaws has always been keeping my mouth shut (err..hands from typing?)
I stand by my statement now that it's there, I think I called it like it was, but like my wife tells me sometimes I shouldn't let my anger at certain situations get the best of me, and I should just keep my thoughts to myself.
I just have a passion for trying my best to do what's right and fair for everyone, and when I feel someone is being blatantly and purposefully harmful or demeaning to others, it's hard for me to hold back.
EDIT - In my defense, notice I didn't even reply to this statement? I just let it go...
EDIT PART II:
Crap - Senor Hound, sorry to hijack the thread, but I do think it is relevant.
But to the original question, to answer quite simply, yes it is possible to critique and be positive at the same time. I always try to point out the positives of a photo as well as the negatives as nice as I can without trying to sugarcoat. I try to offer what knowledge and experience I have, because often times mistakes I see are mistakes I've learned from with my own photos. Been there, done that type-thing.

Don't get your panties in a bunch Marcus... I was a bit rude. :hugs:
