Critique, criticism… Eh, It’s all pretty much rockin’ the same boat. So many people who think they take great photos come to sites like this looking for an affluence of praise to separate themselves from the regular cockroaches that taint the world of photography with atrocious works.. Most of the time, people generally think by coming to something like this will make them a ‘notch’ above the rest. People here are generally more prudent of what they think is good works and very much more inquisitive of the same. Notwithstanding the fact that the guys from which you’ve requested your, ‘critique’ quite literally pick apart photos.. When you come to a place that generally despises bad photography and in general is not a help desk/support/tutorial center–You should expect harsh critique. I would venture to say with your stomach and mentality toward being looked upon as mediocre in your beginning stages and feel disdain for that, you probably wont make it far sharing your work publicly. I was earlier going to rip your photos apart but I felt you admittedly spouted off that you were a beginner, I thought you were humble at least.. Apparently not.
Just another bad apple I suppose
