What happens all too often when an individual, among amateurs or beginners, gets the 'good shot' is a falling into a complacency. But that is precisely the moment to do a serious self critique and use the momentum to go even further. So my comment, solicited through the act of the photo's public presentation, was a pedagogic goad and not a negative deconstruction of the image. As always, I enjoy seeing the enthusiasm that the non-commercial photographer has with this our craft, amateur and professional alike. Slobodan Dimitrov Martin Howard wrote: > > Ok, easy guys.
