Hi there all,
Last night I added some comments about the current Picture of the Week in the thread entitled "Discussion on Photo of the Week" - this morning I find they have been removed. These are the comments I made - you may or may not agree with them - but I feel I have a right to make them. I also feel that the thread - "DISCUSSION ON PHOTO OF THE WEEK" - is the correct place to make them
"
Sorry Scott, I normally like your work and have said so in the past - but this is what you describe it as - a test shot with a new lens - ************! In the thread about POTW where some of us asked for explanations or pointers from the moderators - there was resistance - I challenge them now to describe to us the technical, artistic or photographic merits of this shot!!!! As you say it is a lens TEST SHOT.
In the thread "Sticking my neck out"
http://www.worldphotographyforum.com...ead.php?t=3207 several asked for moderators pointers for beginners - this was rejected by them and that is their right also.
However - I do not think my comments are offensive .
IF YOU VISIT SCOTT'S WEB SITE YOU WILL SEE SOME EXCELLENT SHOTS - this one does not do him justice.
NOTE WELL: TO THOSE WHO SPOT DIFFERENCES IN THIS THREAD FROM TIME TO TIME PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM EDITING IT MYSELF -IT IS NOT BEING CENSORED - I HAVE TONED DOWN PARTS WRITTEN IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT - I NEVER INTEND TO UPSET PEOPLE BUT AM AWARE I SOMETIMES DO - I TRUST ALL MAY FIND MY COMMENTS CONSTRUCTIVE AS THAT IS ALWAYS THEIR INTENTION.
