I was going to leave this as it was but seeing that I've been instructed to reply by a mod in another thread, I will do as asked.
I wasn't aware that there was a requirement to respond to moderators - that their decision was final etc, etc...
...And Phil - that was totally uncalled for.
Was it? Really?
I thought I was pretty spot on.
I know I have threads on here with no comments and even less views...it's not a big deal and I'm not going to bump them after two hours, two days, two months, two years - or any amount of time just so that someone can make a comment.
I don't need to beg for comments or need that validation.
I post to share them, not because I need comments.
That said, if someone wants to say something, the door is open... W I D E open.
There could be any number of reasons why no one commented from the simple fact that people didn't like them to that they slipped off the page and disappeared into the ether.
You know what - it happens.
To appease my curiosity, why is it that the OP should be the only person on the forum who has images people haven't commented on.
What makes him so special?
The point I was making is that it is not unique and it happens to ALL of us at some stage.
It's just the way it is.
I don't see any suggestion at all that Paul was only looking for 'great shot' type comments.
I only read into it that he was hoping for some feedback, like anyone else putting photos up for crit . . . and no there isn't a rule saying that people must comment when they look but it is what the community here is all about.
This post
154 Views and not a Single Comment, I didn't think they were that Bad!!
Oh Well,back to the Drawing Board.
is not saying that at all.
It's the post of someone who didn't get told how good their photos were and needs validation of the fact, and, when they don't get it, storms off.
He may as well be saying "Oh...they don't like my photos - woe is me"
Just because they're of an iconic plane, which incidentally, I would kill to see, that's all they are - photos of a plane.
Now seeing you want feedback on the two pics here goes.
This is my opinion and that's it an opinion.
They are two pics of a plane. OK, so it's a Lancaster - an icon of the skies and WWII - probably, alongside the Spitfire, the saviour of Britain. That doesn't make the pics any better or worse.
I know that maybe hard to swallow.
They're OK, but that's it - just OK.
There is nothing that makes them outstanding - if there is, educate me and tell me what I'm missing.
I have seen better pics of Lancasters, and also worse.
Some on this forum, some on others.
In both pics, there's enough prop blur to give the impression of them spinning, but there could have been more.
The second shot is cropped too tight - the wheel is too close to the bottom of the frame and there's not enough of the starboard engine for my liking.
All of that means nothing, because if the OP likes them, that's all that matters and what anyone else thinks counts for zero.
