And everyone knows how risky it is to even slightly criticise someone else's baby - but I like to live on the edge
Glad you took it in the spirit it was intended.
FWIW I have taken loads of shots like that and come to the same conclusion.
Absolutely!!! I appreciate criticism. How else can I learn and I wouldn't ask if I didn't want to know. For my "real" job I have been cutting and coloring women's hair for 30+ years. At least the photographs don't burst into tears, or rage, (hopefully only in the beginning)
. My guess at this point is that as my photograph"eye" gets better, the post shutter results will become more like my pre-shutter expectations. Again, thank you and everyone who has taken the time/interest to even comment on anything I put up. t
