Village idiot try not to get so angry when some critcizes your work, it makes you look less sure of yourself. Also, some people are only trying to help. I was expecting a response that was something similar to "yeah, I can see how you could take that for bad pp." Instead, you acted as though you were bothered by the fact that I do not like how the branches appeared. You were bothered enough to appear mad. Don't let people get to you. Just have fun. Lifs to short to get mad on the internet. Although it is entertaining when someone does get mad.... but don't let it be you that is the one entertaining everyone over someone telling you your picture looks like it was edited by a newb.
However, if you want to get mad about someone telling you your picture looks like a point and shoot, DO IT. You know why? You've paid all that money for all that good equipment and they are telling you it looks like a point and shoot. You should get furious. Let them know, that you paid damn good money to get this shot and they don't have a fn clue what it takes to ge t a shot of a blue jay in the trees. Give it to them ruff. It will give the people of the photo forum something to read. Plus, like I said earlier, you paid damn good money to get this shot and people are saying it looks like a point and shoot. Don't let that just fly by, you have to keep calling each and every single person out to there is no one else. You have to let people know your the baddest dude on the internet.
Both plans work for me. If you follow the first plan, it will make me happy that I helped make you appear smarter. If you follow the second plan, AWESome! who doesn't love reality internet forum wars?
If someone thinks your art looks like it's point and shoot art, who cares? If you like it, that is what matters. There are going to be alot of people in life who think your art is point and shoot. There are also going to be people who love your art.
let some things go and you'll do fine.
