- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
Coming from someone who has minimal training in photography I can say that I do look at a photograph in terms of how it makes me "feel" (as HvR would say, with my obsessions in mind - or perhaps at the back of my mind)
When i see a photo that I like, I have my few years of technical background to fall back on in my response - thus I can comment about certain aspects, however I typically respond with my feelings in mind as it's hard for me to quantify with more advanced photographic terms. I don't "see" those aspects because I haven't learned what to look for in those ways.
I whole heartedly agree that when I see a subject I am not particularly fond of, I'll be more apt to skip over responding however great the photo may be compositionally, in exposure, etc.
I have no doubt as I embark on my continued education I will start to "see" a broaded range of photographic aspects that I don't currently see - and therefore I'll be able to critique photos with these new terms in my head.
