[QUOTE="theregsy, post: 19464, member: 4398"] Jack, that's the most balanced and well thought out critique of the picture that I have seen. What, I think, got my dander up a little is that I do know the rule of thirds and use it a bit or at least try not to shoot with the main item dead square center. I know a little about what makes a good photo. In this case, I think what I really like is the symmetry of the image and, OK, so that doesn't work for everyone, I accept that, but the tone of some of the critiques read as... 'you have done it wrong, it doesn't obey these rules, it's wrong... not... 'well I would prefer, or do you think that it would be better if'? I may be being over touchy about the picture, we all know it's down to our personal preferences and vision but like the Pollock comments I made I really don't like or get that style of art, but I would not tell anyone it's wrong. If anyone gave me a pollock I would sell it and look for a constable :) I will try and keep my dander down and again thanks everyone for looking and commenting :) [/QUOTE]
