Ouch, that fish hook
It is interesting the explosion of photography in the digital age. I grew up with film, had several camera bags with many camera bodies, lenses and film types. Photography was something you had to take seriously and there were fewer 'photographers' around. Now everyone is a photographer!
Looking through this thread, there are some outstanding photos. Really really good, and thank you for posting them :thumbsup:. There are also a lot of really bad photos, the result of laziness, lack of any compositional awareness (which cropping can so easily improve), or the syndrome of 'I have a camera, so I am a photographer' which make me wonder why they were posted. Often a 'bad' photo has a memory associated with it, which makes the photo mean something to the individual who took it. This is where you need to think if it is a great photo or just something you want to remember. Come on, can you really not tell the difference?
Maybe I have been a bit harsh....
The thread starter was asking for constructive criticism to help, but I haven't seen any replies on these lines, just everyone manically posting their pictures that they want to show off. Does anyone want feedback, or just the odd thumbs up?
I think that your answer would be applicable if this thread was on a photography forum, but I think its just a fun-thread for a forum of flashlight enthusiasts.
Therefore, its inevitable that some people will not take it as seriously as others.
Perhaps, you are taking it a little too seriously?
