This forum is terrible. The people here suck. I dont care if I get bad critiques. I'm sick of people hating on my pictures. I understand that they are trying to help, but the way they put the message across is ridiculous. I hope you all enjoy your time here cause this place is terrible. I already get cc from other groups and tons of other people. Leaving one forum isn't gonna do anything bad to me. See ya later.

Sorry that you feel that way. Also sorry you could not see how poorly you rendered the subject in question. Perhaps in another forum you will find that focus and composition are not really required to get rave reviews. It doesn't matter much if you walked for 2 hrs or 10 hrs to get the shot; you didn't do it justice in the end. You don't state your age but I have a feeling you are young and have a lot to learn. Come on back with some better stuff and see what kind of response you get.

I never said that walking 2 hours made this photo good. All I said was it took me 2 hours to walk there.

im not sure I would count C&C from twitter and facebook... Maybe the question you should ask is WHY people dislike your photos here? Why dont you direct us to all the positive feedback you are getting for your work in other places and we can see what kind of critique those people are giving, as well as the quality of photos you are presenting to them.

this forum isn't always the most tactful...but it IS typically the most honest, if not to the point of brutality.
Posting for C&C here is a trial by fire. If you survive, you will learn, and be stronger for it.

so show me then. link to your work in other forums and lets see what they said about it. don't call me out unless you are going to prove me wrong. Im sure if you posted photos that were actually in focus there, then thats probably why the responses were better, in case you were wondering.

First of all I don't know how to link things. Second of all, I never called you out. Third, you guys don't understand that something must have gone wrong during the upload because it is in focus in the computer.

Why is it so hard for people to acknowledge hard work on this site? Seriously. This website is ridiculous.

....and so it begins. Grabbing some brews, who wants a cold one!!

Well, it is in the "Just For Fun" forum which doesn't automatically indicate a request for comment and critique, so I'll keep mine to myself. You wouldn't like it anyway.

I will offer this bit of advice though: People here are not your friends and family. Many of them are very experienced photographers with decades of experience behind them. They aren't going to tell you something is great simply because that's what you want to hear, they are going to tell you the truth whether it's what you want (or expect) to hear or not. You have the choice of listening, learning, and getting better or getting mad and leaving. It's up to you.

I agree with that. And I never asked for any CC. I simply posted about a great time I had last night.
