I have stayed out of this thread until now but I think one other point should be thought about. Way back when this subject came up before, a lady had posted a few photos that were not very good in so far as the focus was off and a few other things were wrong. She was criticized by some at the time, no I don't remember who but what I do remember was this lady was very upset by what was said. It turns out she was suffering some debilitating disease and some days could not even get up never mind hold a camera. The poor photos she had posted were to her a great achievement and she wish to post them in her gallery for all to see.
She was crushed by the response she got, and while the people concerned didn't know of her problem, it just goes to show there are many people here from all different walks of life and with different problems to over come. We do not know when we comment what the reason for the imperfect photo is. All I say is not everyone is fit and able, so have a little thought how you tell someone their photo is rubbish, you may be destroying someone's hope and pride.
Just some thing to think about, I am not pointing fingers, life is too short. Be kind to each other it doesn't cost anything.
