Don't ever get a job with the samaritans
The slightly awkward bit is that droj's appraisal is correct, though possibly this wasn't the place to share it.

Also some people are a lot more sensitive then others when it comes to reading comments about their own images.
Except if they come from 'up North' - LOL
Being from Sussex also I'd imagine the comments involved eloquent words which @Studio488commercial may struggle to understand.
OT, but as a Londoner transplanted to Yorkshire 30 years ago I quickly learnt to soften my jokes/comments/whatever as Yorkshire folk are very easily hurt, at least by friends..Except if they come from 'up North' - LOL

No but you need those to go fro GOC to t’other side .
Actually the one really true saying about Yorkshire folk is don’t bother to ask if they are Yorkies as they’ll tell you in a moment or two.
Why banned?For some of my jazz shots, I like them in B&W and dark and moody looking. On a forum I use to post them and get comments like... Dave that`s just too dark, to which I`d say I took it and I like it.
Why banned?
Photos : for Pleasure
This is a forum for sharing those photos for which you require no critique at all. Photos you have taken just for fun, or silly snapshots. Please do not offer any critique in this forum.
Except when this happens https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/summer-fruits.670611/
I notice the OP hasn't commented for some time......
There is nothing worse than being constantly knocked back about how bad my photos are on another site. Ok they are not perfect or technically correct but they are what I like. Why do some take great delight slagging off others efforts? It has got so bad from one member on that particular forum I now am afraid to post any pictures and informed the management I won't post any more .
It Must be a lot worse for those just starting getting into photography, Surely those who are more knowledgeable should help and not go out to prove their work is far superior?
Sorry about the moan but it has really pulled me down
Don’t you think he felt knocked back again in this thread?
Serious.No smilies so can't tell if serious or not.
Serious.

OK, I’ve read though the thread again and yes I agree, supportive. I got a different impression from dipping into it.I'd have said that the thread has been very supportive and encouraging generally, so if he's really knocked back then it's a shame.
Are you inferring that people from Sussex are inebriated by the exuberance of their own verbosity?Being from Sussex also I'd imagine the comments involved eloquent words which @Studio488commercial may struggle to understand.

although that doesn’t seem to be true for fiction books — there are numerous stories of best-sellers/successful authors who’ve had their first book rejected 20+ time before 1 publisher accepted it.Before the internet, when I was a student, we would trawl our portfolio of work around various ad agencies for 'book crits'. Some of the best advice I ever got was to show your book to as many people as possible and then work out whose advice to take. If only one person thinks a piece of work is s***, but 20 think it's great, then it's probably great. But if only one person thinks it's great and 20 think it's s***, it's probably s***.
"Guitar groups are on their way out". A piece of crit from the early 1960s, attributed to a record label executive on hearing a demo recording of a new unsigned band called The Beatles.although that doesn’t seem to be true for fiction books — there are numerous stories of best-sellers/successful authors who’ve had their first book rejected 20+ time before 1 publisher accepted it.
As we found back in my student days, even those starting out on their photographic journey, could have something useful and constructive to say about the work of those about to graduate. Both could learn from the experience.
When it came to original work, it was just as likely to come from a first year student as from one in their final year. However a first year student was unlikely to have the quality and attention to detail of a final year student.
Most importantly criticism teaches one to be self critical, and so to avoid most such issues.
Exactly, you need to know the ‘intent’.Peer group criticism is the best by far, from people who don't just know your pictures but know what you are trying to achieve with them - .

The worst thing for anyone is to always have their crap pictures praised as 'stunning' as that only encourages them to make more photos with the same failings.
