Hello Sabretalon,
you bring another factor into play. We've discussed that before and i can really understand your frustration. But please try again here in the forums. Don't forget, it's not easy to do honest critique on one, i don't remotely know. To say, a pic is great if i feel that way is pretty easy ... but even if the language would be no barrier .. how can i know, how you'll receive what i'm saying? I remember very well giving a critique i've even been personally asked for. I sat there a whole evening, wrote two pages in an email and the only reaction some days later was a short statement of her hubby, telling me what an **** i am to say what i've said. And hey .. i wasn't rude or the like, i even tried to provide hints to what she could improve. I'm not telling you, you're wrong, not at all, but please try to understand "the other side" too. And, as i said above, try again in the forums. I (not being an artist and not knowing to much about photography) promise to have a look and - if possible - some critique. ok? Tom
