E session

removed....

Sorry guys....I will repost a better photo of the couple

Is that your umbrella reflecting in the sunglasses?

I would guess yes. If not, it's distracting whatever it is.

Yuck on the processing and umbrella.

I would agree the same message could have been given in a much more appropriate way.

down right nasty!!!

Never again will i post anything here again!

all i keep seeing in other posts is nasty comments..

I guess this forum is for the elite of photographers....

discussing!

thank you 123!

bty.scorpio_e... your stuff isn't any better!

That was uncalled for. If people are going to point out something wrong with the photo they should give some sort of advice on improvement.

i agree totally ultimachi!.. I dont have a problem with peole telling mw how my photos look.. but there is a way to discuss it!

Im seeing it more, and more on this forum... nasty comments.. I think i may remove my account and go elsewhere..

i rather like the processing on this image. especially if it goes with a theme of any sort.
the umbrella in the glasses didn't bother me until it was pointed out.

I don't mind the colors in the processing. Is there some skin smoothing going on? If so, perhaps pull back on that. As others have pointed out, the umbrella reflection is unfortunate. The framing feels rather cramped and the angle isn't the most flattering.

That said, I think this is a decent enough image.

As for the other comments, I agree that scorpio_e could have articulated his comments in a more constructive way. However, ironically, the points were made and I do agree with them.

The decision to never again post here is of course your choice but I will say that a fragile ego will get you nowhere. Neither does the whole "bty.scorpio_e... your stuff isn't any better!" attitude.

Either absorb the C & C or ignore the ones you don't feel are valid or aren't helpful.

OMG I can not believe people can be this sensitive.
Maybe its me but it drive me crazy when people overprocess an image.
If you removed the logo from the top. Removed the umbrella from the sun glasses and cloned out the thing going through his chin and her arm. Dialed way back on the processing. I think you may have a good image.

As far as my work, I know what is good and I know what is bad. If I post anything, I can take harsh comments. I know when my baby is ugly.

The comment below is worse than my YUCKY statement . Truly uncalled for.

Sorry, I agree with mamabravo - your stuff isn't any better. Before you coming back at me, I never say my stuff is amazing, either. At the very least, I don't make such a irresponsible remark about someone's pictures. You can't really take "harsh comments" if you think his comment was harsh..

I got grossed out by flipping through your portfolio, sorry.

There could be improvements with his picture, but I can't related the word "yuck" with it in any way.
