[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 525062, member: 6277"] I think @[URL="http://nikonites.com/member-9240-backdoorhippie.html"]BackdoorHippie[/URL] hit the nail on the head about the "like" button. That is the way I look at clicking on it. I have a local friend that I respect as a photographer and he has been a great friend and mentor to me. Early on we were sitting around at his house talking photography and I had noticed that on Facebook he always clicked on the Like button. I told him at that time not to ever click on Like again unless he really did like the photo. That is what I try to do here. I look at the level of the photographer and I expect a lot more from certain photographers and I expect them to expect more from me. That is the way we grow. I have seen to many brand spanking new, wet behind the ears photographers think that since the have their new $300 bridge camera think they are pros just because all their friends click "like" on their photos on Facebook. Not really fair to the to do that. Be supportive but they need proper critique to really grow. Now to @[URL="http://nikonites.com/member-22693-blacktop.html"]Blacktop[/URL] and his question.
