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.
