Nice. My kind of shot.. Love the wall textures as well.

TY all. Happy New Year!

I think there's a legitimate concern being addressed here. Clearly that opinion is not the majority. I've shared my views and they appear not to be shared by others . I will move on and let you all be. If I ever feel the need to share my love of photography I know where not to go. Take care.

OK. Then why do these forums exist: The Aspiring Professionals Forum General Shop Talk Commercial/Product photography The Professional Gallery

Well, I suppose you're right. I mean, it's only useful if people agree there's a problem and a solution needs to be found. If everyone is fine with the current state, then by all means carry on. But then here were are at post 149. There is a difference between photography and snapshots. And...

How have I answered my own question? People are complaining about the quality of the images posted here and specifically about the fact that no one critiques these images accordingly. Really? Not sure I agree. They are different things in my mind at any rate. Maybe you mean that TPF can...

Chicken and egg. Quality photos and quality commentary attract a certain type of member. Letting entropy decide the fate of anything is a race to mediocrity.

What does TPF want to be - a photography forum or a snapshot sharing hangout? Are the mods and members acting in such a way to promote one over the other? I have not post anywhere regularly for some time so feel free to ignore me. I still take plenty of shots. I spent an hour or so looking...

Are people upset that there is not enough critique, or are people upset that photos that they consider poor are not called out as such or are "liked"? I get the sense it's the latter, but maybe I'm misreading ... I joined a little after that. I agree with everything you said, but you have to...

It's an OK image. It's a bit flat. Looks like a nice location. I'm guessing this was a grey day as there are few shadows. I would go back and try again with better light - maybe a misty with morning with light streaming through the trees. The framing seems off. I would try to get the...

I think you might be limiting yourself with respect to the creativity that comes from working with what you have. I get a lot of satisfaction working around the "limitations" of my gear. These limitations can be a source of inspiration. No, I won't get an amazing shot with feather detail...

Love the expression. His pose makes him look like he wants nothing to do with being photographed. That's not a negative, just an observation. I think it's a plus actually. I'm not sure why you shot at f/13. You have a flash, a great camera, and a fast lens and the photo looks very soft in...

I like the idea, but these don't really work for me. The best way I can describe it is that the composition feels claustrophobic. The portrait orientation of the mirror being centered in the portrait oriented frame feels "off" and crowded. I think that maybe the vertical orientation of the...

Being able to curate your own work in an important skill. I would not consider this a keeper worth any time in post processing - but that's just me. Consider it a learning experience and go back and re-shoot, making changes to technique such as using bracketing, HDR, flash, graduated ND...

I realize you're working with what you've got, but a couple additional comments: Everything in the frame is part of the composition. You seem to have oriented the model in the composition at the expense of the couch and I find that to be a problem. Positioning the model and couch properly...

Took a quick look at the new C&C gallery. Was disappointed to see people continuing to use the "like" buttons there. Too bad that can't be turned off for that area of the site. I do wish you luck with it though.

Thanks all.
