hey guys, just read all of these comments and i think there have been many good points brought up. i am pretty new to photography, and i tend to only post my best shots. Even then, it is nice to get a lot of critiques because I know that even my best shots need a lot of help. i've definitely learned a great deal here, especially about post-processing and PS work.
What I really like is when somebody takes the time to change one of my photos and repost it. it just shows that they really care about helping me learn, and also I am a visually oriented person (lol) so actually seeing the change really helps. I also learn a great deal by critiquing other peoples' photos, even if I can't say much yet, so I hope nobody is offended when I critique, since I'm not that knowlegeable yet. anyway, I really like this forum and I hope to keep getting good feedback from all you pros, semi-pros, and beginners out there. :thumbsup:
