You are probably the person who is least qualified to judge the quality of your photography. Also, ability to do something has no bearing on how much you might like it. There are people who have made millions of dollars from their music, which I can’t stand to listen to. If I were to sing in public, people would be more likely to pay me to stop. There is also a huge difference between criticism, critique and discussion. I think I would like that photo more if it were cropped more tightly on the part I find interesting. I really like the lighting on the subject, how did you do that? I’d like it better if the subject were sharper, but I can’t tell whether that is motion blur or out of focus. and of course the ever popular I don’t have anything at all productive to say about this photo, so I’ll make a pun about it and start a thread that lasts five times as long as any serious discussion about photography. -- Larry Colen [email protected] -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
