This looks like it was made with the spray can in Microsoft Paint... Wayyyy too much pp, also agree with the above c&c.

I stood on my roof and took this. Should I clone or crop them out do you think?

If im being brutally honest with you, im throwing this shot out completely. Not being mean here just giving my honest opinion. When i look at it i don't even see a sky it just looks like a mess of terrible colors.

Why when I open a thread by this member is there never a photo to look at? I'm going to stop trying soon.

Right. I like to see what people are talking about, but I never get a chance to.

Karissa,

I understand you're sensitive and easily upset, but we're all here to learn. One of the ways we can learn is by seeing photos that other people have posted and reading the critiques they get. I learn probably twice to three times as much from other people's photos and the critiques they get than I do from the photos that I post and get critiques on.

I mention this for two reasons:

1. I highly encourage you to read some other C&C threads, and even offer some critiques of your own. It can really help strengthen your eye, and you'll learn to self-critique better. Self-critiquing is a vital skill to learn as a photographer (or any artist, for that matter).

2. Please don't edit your posts to remove the photos that got critiqued. You may not like what other people have to say, and you might think it's embarrassing when they point out flaws, but leaving them up allows the rest of us to learn from your mistakes. And trust me, we've all been where you are, and we've all had shots that we thought were fantastic get ripped up one way and down the other. You have to learn to learn from those comments, even when it feels like they're being mean or personal. Chances are, they're not trying to be mean or personal.

The chances of posting a photo on here and having everyone ooh and aah over it are slim to none - even if the shot deserves a lot of oohs and aahs. People are going to nit-pick and find those little flaws - not because they're being mean, but because they're trying to help you improve. If you don't feel like someone's comments are helpful, ask them to elaborate perhaps, but don't take it personally or ignore them outright.

I really hope to actually see​ some of your photos one of these days, and I hope I'm able to offer some helpful advice.

Very nice, tho it made me a bit melancholy to think at the time of the recording Richard Wright was already ill and hadn't much time left...

Why do you keep deleting your pictures?? How are you going to learn and grow from that? If you are happy with your friends/family telling you your sub par photos look "amazing" then you are only cheating yourself. Yes the general public probably doesnt know what it takes to make a great and amazing photo...so I guess many "photographers" sadly rely on that. But doing this is only gonna hold you back from better/more opportunities with clients... and hold you back from growing as a photographer. Id rather get the opinion of photographers... than a mom who is automatically going to LOVE a photo ONLY because it has their child in it, or someone who will tell you your photos are "amazing" only because you are their friend..
