First, if someone is annoyed because you posted a photograph: PHOOEY ON THEM! Photographs are what it is all about. I am the first person to admit that a great deal of the work posted here I would not post if it were mine. I also do happen to not care for much of my work and so I rarely post photographs (maybe only once but I cannot remember for sure). That is not a model to emulate, that is just me. We are all at different levels and hold different aspirations regarding photography so a wide gamut of work is to be expected and, at times, endured. Tough, that is life, I got used to it so will the nameless but always unsatisfied they. KEEP POSTING PICTURES This however does not give anyone the right to complain about the lack of positive or, for that matter, comments at all. Most people have an emotional attachment to their images and do not particularly want their bubble burst. When their or another's bubble is burst, they complain loudly. I say tough again, if you want a only a certain type of response, send the photograph to yourself not to us. CAN'T STAND THE WET? STOP TOPPING UP THE HUMIDIFIER! Finally amateur does not mean poor quality in its original language and I resent that english has attached such a connotation to this word. Amateurs practice photography and every other discipline at the very highest levels. If you mean mediocre, do not use amateur please!
