- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
Good morning/afternoon/evening, whichever applies. So I was trying to wait until my 1000th post to do this but just couldn't wait. I have been looking back through the photos I have posted on here and reflecting on how I can improve based on previous comments from others. For those that have given me, in particular, criticism, feedback, or just a comment I really want to send out my THANKS. The feedback on this forum has been frustrating but EXTREMELY helpful specifically in becoming more self-aware of my mistakes and errors within my photography. I am sure that with my early posts, which I am sure most don't remember, I frustrated some because I was very much a noob and being hard headed as many beginners are and not seeing the error of my ways so to speak. For instances I found at least three different photos where Lew, the_traveler, telling me that I would get more feedback if I allowed editing. Or pgriz trying to get me to realize that some photos desparately need a story. From bad crop to poor lighting to poor composition and while at first I was not open to harsh feedback I am now which has driven me and keep all these tips in mind for future reference. So in closing all this really is is a post about thanking all the members in the forum that actively participate in helping beginners such as myself grow and become better at what we all love to do.
