all this proves is the best photo ( night scene) was picked for POTW.
and the rest have different opinions, I would choose the 4knights 2nd because living in Australia I don't see that sort of thing, but I wouldn't be able to give critique on how to make it a better shot. I forgot about the critique section,but that is the perfect place if you or anyone else would like feedback on your images. I remember giving a suggestion once on a photo and I was promptly put in my place,so I never give suggestions on how to make something better because it is all personal taste. some people do get offended by it,I am always grateful for other peoples opinions and that is why I tick the box for welcomed critique in the gallery. I feel the same as Rob,I don't post to get into POTW gallery,but it is nice to get a mention now and then... I think most people posting here are just social and sharing what they have been doing... I will still be choosing my POTW the same way, by going through EVERY photo for that week,choosing the ones that jump out at me then choosing the one I like best from that group. for me that is what POTW is all about the best photo for that week. I have always stated that I am not qualified to judge or critique images,because I have no idea on the technical stuff, I just know what I like and have a hard time saying why I like or don't like something! it just jumps out at me and that is why I choose POTW. |

I think Dave is working on the premiss that all those who post images in the gallery are hoping to gain the status of POTW. It's never been my motivation. I don't take myself that seriously. It's a hobby I enjoy and like to share with like minded people. I am always working on the premise that I want to improve what I am doing and what can be done and maybe I'm wrong in assuming that others are like that also. For me I am working on something that in 5 to 10 years from now I can turn into something that will help pay the bills when it comes to a time that I can no longer perform my trade. Which I know is coming. I guess I am wrong for looking at it that way because I have to say this hobby and the relaxation I get from it has allowed me to alleviate 75 percent of the stress in my life. It is something that I can sit down and loose myself in for a few hours. When it comes to the opinions of the members of this board I listen when they make suggestions about how I can improve a shot. There are sites out there that are stuffy when it comes to new photographers and how they do stuff. I have always said it here and will continue to always say it I am open to CC. And that said I will thank everybody for their in put and their comments and sit back and take it all in. If nobody objects I will tell people why I chose their photo as the POTW and I will give a small pointer or two to those that came in a close second on my short list. I am sorry if I ruffled any feathers that was not my intention. |
