Haha Very funny.

Funny indeed. But kinda true. People don't seem to enjoy a photo for what it is anymore! People should break the "rules" a bit more and get creative and actually capture something they like rather than something that ticks all the "photography basics" boxes.

Spot on right Chris.

I think we all get to tied into what is accepted as right, we forget the creativity at times, we become obsessed with sharpness, rule of thirds and many other things.

Has been posted before and I believe the general consensus was that he was actually satirizing the critique given by some, particularly on photo sharing sites like Flickr

This is a particular bugbear of mine. Along with people who actually like spot colour anybody who criticises a picture because it's not sharp enough should return their camera from whence they bought it and take up needlepoint instead.

I do like The Online Photographer though. It's a nicely understated but always interesting viewpoint.
