A few things that have always bothered me with replies on numorus photography forums is inconsistency. I can take the shot doesn't work for me not my sort of image , however i hate it when people reply looks fake or such and such colour looks wrong. The colour looks wrong was a fantasy image i had done , it was a fantasy it was not real i had said this !. They then go on to reply to another shot with purple skies and creamy white water to say great shot. ...
Creamy water isn't natural , its only seen via a long exposure not the human eye so why is it not fake?. Purple skies , clouds in streaks again caused by long exposure and an nd grad again not natural. The human eye did not see this at the time. Same with HDR , most of them not natural yet the same person would say brilliant shot with no comments of Looks fake.
One person done a devilish landscape of buildings , with strong red skies massive over saturation and guess what " Great shot , works well ". So my blueish,green tree's and white sky is wrong ? , "it looks fake" yet a blood red sky with over saturated buildings and redish/purple tinted clouds are good.
I've done the odd black and white with deep blacks and nice whites with plenty of detail because of comments like " too gray , it should be black and white ". Yet i get again "looks fake" , "the clouds look wrong" or "the sky is too black" but the same person would reply on another image that's black and white a textured building it's so black with hardly any detail in the blacks GREAT SHOT.
It would be like me saying i HATE horror movies , will never watch them. But i go out to watch a horror movie because it looks like a good horror.
I did a test once , i did an image in colour and the replies " doesn't really work for me in colour , would look great in black and white ". I then kept the same image and posted it one month later but in black and white. Guess what i got " I prefer colour " , " i'd like to see it in colour not black and white ". SAME PEOPLE , different day... Same image
