[QUOTE="bluenoser, post: 29047, member: 6351"] Absolutely correct Joe. There was nothing said that was inappropriate in anyone's posts regarding the posted photo. As is often the case, someone asks for a "critique" but what they really want is an "atta boy" "great shot"! Joseph, you indicated that it was an HDR image shot for DoF - so you got comments on the image as a whole, as an HDR and DoF - yet when the comments were not 100% positive, you protest that you really just wanted comments related to the "DoF" aspect and start with the "Gee folks.... I didn't shoot this for a competition, yada, yada, yada. " Sorry Joseph but I call BS. You really shouldn't post images in the Photo Critique area if you aren't willing to accept comments on the full range of an images characteristics. You didn't get abuse or unfairly harsh comments - everything was as expected for a photo critique thread. Just because people didn't focus 100% on your preferred "DoF" aspect doesn't mean you should break out the qualifiers like "it wasn't shot for a contest". Honesty is a gift - it doesn't happen as often as it should. Discouraging it is not a wise idea. Otherwise, why post it in the Photo Critique sub-forum when there are other "glamour" sub-forums that would have given the desired ego stroking. PS. I am not saying this in a mean-spirited way. (hard to tell with the internet) - just saying what I feel in a non-sugar coated way (which many misinterpret as being "mean") [/QUOTE]
