A little bit of fun, but still some interesting points made.

I found myself agreeing with Mrs G quite often on that one.
Whether it is or isn't, I don't think that detracts from it being interesting to hear how Mrs G saw the photographs, even if it is a sample size of one.Seems like a poor attempt at cashing in on a much more popular Youtuber?
I think she sees like a typical Facebooker - she wants a pretty, bright and colourful image that seizes the eye for a moment but has no interest in anything deeper.Whether it is or isn't, I don't think that detracts from it being interesting to hear how Mrs G saw the photographs, even if it is a sample size of one.
Not entirely sure the relevance of a "typical facebooker" but it seems reasonable to assume that she is looking for something different from some/many photographers.I think she sees like a typical Facebooker - she wants a pretty, bright and colourful image that seizes the eye for a moment but has no interest in anything deeper.

To me she comes across as wanting something bright and eye-catching. The link to Facebook is that people there only see and like a bright colorful image, and that was just what she wanted too.Not entirely sure the relevance of a "typical facebooker" but it seems reasonable to assume that she is looking for something different from some/many photographers.
Doesn't that depend on the intent of the photographer? I think you are correct if you want to produce a calendar to appeal to the general public, but is Thomas Heaton customer base not his youtube followers.We should be making images for them,
One should absolutely know who the target market is for a picture, and if that market is Facebook then shoot and process accordingly. However TH is producing a calendar for the viewers of his channel who are a small segment of landscape photographers, so it's no wonder that the pictures don't appeal to her.
As much as I enjoy his videos most of his pics dont work for me either, my good lady thinks the same, shes just more blunt about it
I look at some of his pics and I think they'd be culled on the first pass in LR.
Maybe it's me at a certain age, He seems a nice chap so I wish him well though.
Absolutely, at least @Pookeyhead had formed his opinions based on some experience and knowledge. Who is Mrs G? what qualifies her to comment on photography? For all I know Mrs G might have a masters in Photography and be an FRPS but there is little evidence of that.It's a pity Pookeyhead wasn't on hand to give the calendar a crit.
The whole point of the video was that she didn't have any expertise to comment. These were some views of a "normal" person, after spending the year looking at the pictures in the calendar. The vlogger who posted it clearly found it amusing that in spite of her lack of expertise she still had strong views about the photographs.Who is Mrs G? what qualifies her to comment on photography?
Informed opinions are so last century.Who is Mrs G? what qualifies her to comment on photography? For all I know Mrs G might have a masters in Photography and be an FRPS but there is little evidence of that.
Just a thought, he's displayed 12 of Toms photos in this video, I wonder if he's asked Tom first?
FFS have I just stepped back to 1955?Tom should do a critique of a video of her dusting.
I'd have enjoyed it more if he had done the same exercise with his own work rather than someone else's.
everyone's opinion is valid.
Why could I only like this onceJust NO!
That's how we got anti-vaxers and flat-earthers
