I don't get many comments on my photos; mostly because I don't display them too much!. Mostly to just my family!. The comments I hear the most are "what camera do you use!?" And stuff about Photoshop and so on!. I'd like people to critique my composition, subject, and style - not what kind of camera I used!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Did you take that!?
What camera did you use!?
Why is some of the picture not in focus (In response to me using f/2!.8)
How'd you take that!?
Why did you use such a high ISO!? (In response to an image taken in low light or where grain is very effective)
That's not sharp enough
How did you get those colours!?
Take a creative picture of me like that one
Why did you use such a small aperture!?
That doesn't follow the rule of thirds (In response to an image that looks great anyway)


Eich, I mean, really, it seems like photography is full of people who seem to be ignorant of whether or not a photo is visually pleasing, and focus only on the technical aspects!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I used to hear all of those things (except for the photoshop on of course) especially when I first started in photography nearly 30 years ago (yikes, I'm getting old)!.

I keep very few photos online so I don't hear much out of people except for one I included here in an answer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

this is what i get!.!.!.!.!.

They say
"This is really nice, who took this photo!?"
Then I say
"I did"
Then they say
"Nooooo!" rising tone "You got that from the internet"

he he he

It really gets annoying after a while!. =|
