Hi Todd,
I appreciate your message about Photo Critique. There does seem to be a few submissions that really don't have much premeditation to them. Personally, I don't have time to critique each shot. I look at them all, but I focus on those that I may be able to help on or that I will learn from. I think I enjoy what was going on in the photographers head and how they were set up the shot as much as the images.
But on the other hand, I don't mind the volume of traffic and spectrum of skills here. This board is a manageable size that I can get to know the other contributors. I have learned a lot from others here. And like you, others have pointed out issues with some of my images that made them much better.
So, let me take this opportunity to thank all those who have offered me pointers...
Cheers,
Tim
