I post my images here because I think there are some very good technical photographers who frequent this forum and I'm wanting to improve my own photography. Now and again I'll get a comment that helps me and other times I'll wonder why a photo I post gets ignored.
What I'm learning is something I think is great is not viewed as such by others - for whatever reason. Whereas a picture I may think is 'ordinary' is singled out for high praise. Who's right?
Well it wouldn't be fun if we all thought the same, so diversity is what makes our photography unique. For the record I'm often left thinking 'what a load of crap' just as I'm often left thinking 'Wow - what a stunning image'.
I do agree though... it would be nice if we learned why an image has been chosen. After all I'm not alone in thinking like I do am I?
