- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
There were recently two interior photo's of a tinsmith's hut. I didn't give a rat’s behind if they were technically correct. I simply enjoyed viewing them as a different culture and told the OP so.
Should I have saved my breath and enjoyed the photo’s, and not comment because I didn't leave a deep thought provoking critique?
Depends... when a person (LEW in this case) is at a certain level of accomplishment, and not here to "LEARN THE BASICS", then the "Like" is probably adequate.
But if that individual IS here to learn... and needs HELP and GUIDANCE,how does just a "I like it" help them?
in that particular case then, it would be up to the OP to say whether or not they are looking for learning critique or not. we do have a "just for fun" section intended for people that just want to share a picture with no expectations of any C&C. im not sure how many members actually KNOW who is at what experience level. especially with the amount of new people. I think there's an equal issue in the way people receive C&C as much as there is an issue with the way people give it.
"proper" C&C is a debate as close to being solved as "lens filters for protection", "nikon -vs- canon", or "professional grade monitors"
Agreed! But often you can look at an image, and get some idea where the photographer is... and every forum EXCEPT the "Just for Fun" is open to C&C.... whether they ask for it or not... (At least I think that is how it is!)
