[kawter2]

i dont care what forum i'm in, its there for critique.
If i want to display pictures than I would use a gallery website not a forum

Hey, Andy voted three times in three different categories. That's cheating!!!!! :)

I think if you post a picture on the forum (any subforum), you want your fellow photographers to see it ... and comment on it. Otherwise it would be just a 'Look how great my pictures are ... and don't dare to say if you think otherwise' attitude.

But ... if I want brutal and merciless critique that really helps me, I will post it in the 'critique' forum.

I normally don't photoshop others' images unless they either request it or I can think of a dramatic improvement that they did not know about (e.g. apply USM to a picture with absolutely no sharpening or noise reduction to a very grainy night shot).

I also think that it sometimes helps people to realize that improvements are possible where they would not have suspected it (and thus did not ask for it).

If anybody complains, I trust that I can take the image down again without the experience shattering their fragile egos forever. I definitely will not copy the images to other servers or display the image on the internet posing it as my own. But that might just be me - your mileage may vary.

Best regards,
Andy

Nope.

- I do it (selection 1) because
- I don't care about it much (selection 2) and think that people should
- put it into their sig line (selection 3) to stop me from doing it :D

Isn't that what multiple-choice polls are for ???

Best regards,
Andy

PS: As I'm the only one who has so far confessed that he will recklessly change others' images ...
maybe I should also add that I do it quite moderately ... so far 2 times in about 3800 posts :lol:

I've done it, but I generally only do it when people ask why their picture does not look right or how it can be improved.

Voted for I don't really care AND for free game in the Critique corner.

[Andy_T]

Dang! Forgot 'free game in the Critique corner' (because it felt obvious to me)

Can I still change my vote :twisted:

Best regards,
Andy

Most cryptic poll ever.

Well, I fixed my sig to let everyone know, that it's free to fix my pix.... I know Photoshop, but I don't know it all... and I'm always willing to learn. To me, meaning of life is to learn something new every day.

So have a ball! (I'll post some pictures soon... so go nuts!) :D
