Sorry, but if you were referring to my post, as the poster below seems to think, then please get your facts right. My post was started on 2/7 and you replied on 3/7 - that does not equate to a week in my calendar.
But, on the other hand, if you were not referring to my post then I do apologies for jumping to conclusions, but I think the post I have quoted below, would explain that.
In the interests of openess, I feel that I would like to just answer the comments made by Linda in the unanswered posts thread, as quoted above.
Yes I was referring to the original post I made in this thread. I stated that the post had been in unanswered for some time, if that was not the case then I do apologise. I was jumping through unanswered to try to help people who had posted pictures and had received no replies. At that time I was answering posts from a week or more old as well as clearly more recent ones.
Regardless of how long the thread had been in unanswered, does not alter the fact that I took time to give what I considered constructive crit to 3 pictures. Everything I said, you blew out of the water and gave a reason why the picture was so and why you believed it was fine. Quite frankly I found your comments to be dismissive. I then noted how you thanked someone who albeit had looked at your pics, had not taken as much time to say anything much more than how nice they were. You seemed to like that.
It is episodes like this that prevent people from offering any crit at all. Perhaps you are happy with where you are with your photography and do not feel that any constructive comments are helpful, but there are many people who post on here that welcome constructive feedback, both in the affirmative and negative. If I no longer offer any crit because of your poor display of acceptance, then it is others on this foum that will suffer when I and others don't offer any comments.
I am not saying that you or anyone else necessarily agrees with my comments, but a polite thank you would have gone a long way.
A number of months ago, the unanswered page used to be just that - A page, not 5 or 6. In fact sometimes there would be zero in unanswered. That was because people took time to help others and they were appreciated for it. It is sometimes difficult to look at a picture and say what you like and don't like and takes time and effort. When those people who worked hard on that section felt that they were ignored or at worst dismissed for their comments, then quite a few I would imagine, just stopped.
I stand by the comments and apologise that I got the timescale wrong. I hope that you will read this post and even if you don't agree with it, will at least be able to be open minded enough to see where this sort of response to comments can lead.
