I don't even know who thereBound is talking to at this point. But I do see that the 20 post limit is passed.

OP, I might suggest you spend less time criticizing those who have taken the time to provide you feedback. You may not agree with it, and that's totally fine, but this is a community and your approach isn't likely to earn you a place in it.

First lesson in sales or SELF promotion--- people don't give a Rats ass about you. They care for themselves-- why what does what I shoot make you to tell me how to do It right? Even how to express the thought(s) you didn't know I had? Certain types long to teach others to prove to themselves they know what they are doing- every shot is meant to be just as it is-- granted noise and other settings evolve- but to put you there is the expression- what you Get from it is out of my hands. I am not making art- I am like a photo journalists- I just put you there - I am African American in frequent some of the deadliest areas in PHILLY- WHO knows my world better you or me? You could not find the love, beauty, purpose or sense in my world. BUT I MUST IN MY WORLD AND YOURS TO APPRECIATE LIFE. That's why you find it not I the photos of mine and maybe not many others. Thank you for the views.

Point Taken. Thanks.

I just want to protect beginners from over critical comments- I care less what is said to me. People out there may put a camera down forever because the trolling teachers could crush their spirt- over picture- really? I was taught if you can't say something nice or something in a nice way, say nothing. Never start teaching by telling a student what They did wrong- always start with what they did right. And if you can see nothing one done right- you are no teacher. *

I'd suggest worrying less about others and focus on your own needs and concerns instead.

The mods are here to protect the beginners.

You will no doubt have noticed that I did point out what you did right, and then proceeded to what you did not do right, but I can't even tell if you read my remarks, or anyone else's, at this point.

If you want to receive any further critique from me, you should make a clear statement of "yes". Otherwise I will assume that you do not. Your remarks are rather hard to decipher, but I am getting the impression that you don't want any comments or critique.

Sure- lesson number one -this is a social communication forum- your logo is not needed- its OK to not sell all the time. It shows desperation and gives a bad image. It also allows people to make false impressions of your offer if you must show your expertise in media people are not in the market for it. Sell with a bucket- so you take information from your customer- when the customer is talking you are selling- you you are, you are advertising. °_* click

Ok, you're not even talking to anyone at all. That's ok, but if you're not going to actually reply to anything but instead just ramble on incoherently, I'm not going to bother.

Have a nice thread!

You need to relax and take a break from this forum. What you preached doesn't make any sense at all. If you don't accept critiques, people will ignore you and your photos.

It's not just manure that makes a flower grow, there must be a seed in there someplace.

 

[manaheim]

Fascinating, Captain.

I can see that you found something interesting to you that was worth photographing, but in my opinion it just wasn't photographed well. I would recommend training your eye to recognize better lighting (because there is no photography without light, and better light makes better photography), and ways to create more interesting compositions that make the viewer's eyes flow through the photograph a little smoother, rather than having so many distractions throughout the shot that cause the eye to move through the photograph very erratically. And learn to receive and be thankful for constructive feedback. You are being very ungracious to the people who are taking the time to try and help you here. I have a hard time taking feedback as well, but I can tell you through experience that once you open yourself up to feedback you will improve your craft by a LOT. This is why even in art and photo schools critique is not only given, it's taught and should be expected.

 

[thereBound1]

Sure. This is a social forum and displaying you logo calls your expertise into question because it gives the impress your always trying to make a sale- always Sell with a bucket- take In more information than you give- when your customer is speaking you are selling, when you are speaking, you are advertising- even with inappropriate logo placement- 1000 times worse than a bad photo like you say all mine are its like asking, " Is anyone in the market for a good car," at the company Christmas party- don't be that guy- drop the logo we only want to see the picture not shop for a photographer- hoped this helped--- °_* click
