I am new here and have posted a few of my pictures. When I posted the first few, I was deflated because of the critism. Honestly, it was hard to swallow. But looking at them and then learning more and thinking, I realized that they were just making a point. It helped me think about that issue for my next round of photos. I haven't forgotten that. They have helped me with exposure, white balance, making sure that the horizon is level and with composition.
My photos have gotten better because of all of this. It still hurts to get critism of work that I think is pretty good, but I realize that they aren't attacking me, just pointing out what I actually asked for.
For all of this, I have messaged a couple of the people for clarificaton and they have become a person that I feel I can trust. They may not like my work but that's okay.
It must be working because the last photos that I posted got a lot of looks but not many comments. That's better than getting slammed. (I'm looking at it positive.)
This is an uncommon response to the feedback people get, and it's awesome to see.
I was EXACTLY where you are when I joined here, and I handled it way worse than you are.
Thanks Manaheim. I spent a bunch of time sulking if you will about it but in the end, all I can do is take what is said and keep shooting pictures. I'll get better despite myself, that much I know because I've seen it.
