Which Photography Level are you?

George Barr on the Luminous Landscape site is putting together a great series of essays on Technical and Aesthetic levels. Take a look at part 1 and 2 below. Part 1 has the breakdown of the levels.

So which level do you think you are at, at the moment? Don't be shy, your name won't appear in the poll.

I think I'm between ranges, as I think we all will be. Technical 3-5, Aesthetic C-E. Most of the time at the lower end

Please do not criticise anyone's decision to grade themselves, this is meant to be our understanding of one's self. Not a judgement.

Choose your average or lowest rating for Technical and Aesthetic.

Summary

Technical
1 - Obvious flaws
4 - Looking good
6 - Virtually perfect

Aesthetic
A - Not even a good snapshot
D - Showing some value
G - You are Ansel Adams reincarnate

For thos that don;t want to link to LL,. what's highest/best,
1 & A ?
or 6 & G

Here you go:

I won't copy the text off the LL site. The low, mid, high breakdown goes something like:

Technical
1 - Obvious flaws
4 - Looking good
6 - Virtually perfect

Aesthetic
A - Not even a good snapshot
D - Showing some value
G - You are Ansel Adams reincarnate

It is really harder to choose categories for ones self than it is to actually critique.

I went for a high "E" and a "5," though some his commentary doesn't apply to me, as mine ends up in newsprint.

I don't think I've started to generate truly emotional responses until I start to examine some pictures I took very recently, where people really were emotional and I was able to capture them.

Whatever the max is, I'm that.:p

Realistically I'd say I'm 5 technical D-E Aesthetic.

Haha we all are until someone else sees our photos

Very true, rammy! I'm an excellent photographer...in my own mind.

Probably around 3 D
But I have plenty of time to improve.

I had a really hard time since I do mostly sports/action and the descriptions/categorie​s are obviously geared toward the art/still side of things. 4-5 technical, anywhere from a B to an E on the aesthetics, depending what I'm doing (I suck at artsy stuff and stills, just no creative/artistic vision, but I can find and capture some very cool action shots.).

I would say 4 and D...

I'm just beginning...

EDIT: put in the wrong letter grade

5 E. I know how to take the picture and PP it, I'm just not great at determining the picture to take properly.

Here is an interesting twist.
Based on the authors gallery, how would you rate him?

It would be interesting to see the poll results with who voted for what
