I'm no different than most other members when they allude to possible problems in a posting, and "flawed" is not a term I use, even on rare occasions.
You pointed out several areas of my recent postings that you considered problematic, and I took your observations to be well-intentioned and helpful. 
 I hope you don't feel that my motives are any different from yours.  In fact, in an effort to avoid upsetting certain people I've refrained entirely from
commenting on their works. In the future, please feel free to point to specific instances where you feel I have acted as you describe. That's one way
I can learn from my mistakes.
 
Some time ago a member described one or more of my postings as "awful."  What upset me was not the harsh description but the fact that he never
mentioned which specific view or views from that series that were so bad, and what especially annoyed me was that he never pointed out why  he
considered the views to be terrible.
 
Since I'm always open to suggestions I concluded that his description reflected more of a vindictiveness, rather than of any desire to be helpful.  When I post a negative comment I always state Where I think there are problems and why, and sometimes I recommend solutions. I encourage others to do the same  This way we can all learn from each other!

Marshall,

I like most of your images, but it often surprises me when you make an image that you would characterize as flawed if someone else had made it. While I appreciate your perspective and feedback, I'd rather spend my time making and sharing the images rather than defending them or pointing out the minor flaws. Maybe it has to do with my  (too) busy schedule.

You have every right to your opinion and I value it.  Let's just say that I liked the results, and you didn't.

I know that, Marshall. The color filters, as I learned in J-school, are used to control the relative values of the original colors in black and white photography. And, it was the "pollution" of your yellow filter that I was taking exception to. You said it's "usually undesirable," and I thought it was just that, at least in that image.

One more thing.  The reason it's taught not to use yellow filters for color photography is NOT because they don't darken skies and enhance clouds.
Rather, it's because the color of the filter becomes part of, or pollutes a color photograph, which is usually undesirable.  Black and white photos always
appear as b&w regardless of what color filter is used.

Marshall,

I'm aware that yellow (or red) filters help bring out the clouds, but as I said, I learned in J-school photo class that they were to be used with b&w film, not color.
