Sometimes people don't quite understand how harsh some people on here can be, and they get their feelings hurt. I had this happen to me when someone told me my shot was a "throw away."
The reality is that it is easy for experienced photographers to recognize a "throw away" shot and that may be a very accurate description of your shot. Face it. Even with technical improvements or postprocessing, a boring, flat shot with no impact is still not worth saving. It is a "throw away".
The role of someone doing critique is to tell it like it is in clear, plain language. Their assumption is that they are dealing with a person who is sufficiently mature to understand and accept criticism and more importantly to LEARN from it.
Put bluntly, if your feelings get hurt by so-called harsh criticism, then you do NOT belong in photography at any level: amateur or pro. :thumbdown:
