----- Original Message ----- From: "frank theriault" Subject: Re: 21 Ways to Improve Your Photographs
So, I would much prefer that someone critiqueing a work say, "Next time you're in that situation, try this approach, compare it to what you've done, and see which you prefer." I think that's much more effective than, "I would have done it this way".
So, IMHO, it's not a matter of "how the critiquer would present the subject differently". Quite frankly, I don't give a rat's ass how someone else would take my photos. It's a matter of "would ~I~ want to do it differently?" I'm always more than open to suggestions. Not so much open to someone telling me how they'd do it, or what I ~should~ have done.
Maybe I'm just splitting hairs, but I don't think so.
You want your work to be critiqued in a semantically correct fashion. This is why I rarely critique pictures from this list. I don't give a flying fuck about politically correct semantics.
