I beg your pardon. I get muddled about the etiquette in the various threads. We can probably delete these comments.
No problem; I hate to appear despotic, but it's just that some people, myself included, don't really enjoy other people telling us what we 'should' have done, which is what 'critique' usually presupposes people are seeking.
In my own case, I did (and still do) photography for the buzz that what I do gives
me; if others like it too, great, but
my opinion's what, for me, it's all about. And clearly, by the number of posts this thread has had, I'm not alone in that wish for self-satisfaction/fulfilment
Obviously (I hope!) that doesn't preclude all other forms of comment, which as long as they don't get into the 'instructional' zone, are fine. Nobody has to love shots here; a mutual admiration society is boring.
