N & S #2722

I would have given a "like" to someone with photos like this even if I knew it didn't compare with the photos of other more experienced photographer's photos. But that's the way I am. I try to see the good in all photos and I don't compare the photos from a pro shooter to those of someone that has much less experience. Even if you didn't see the imperfections, this is my town and these photos clearly show you what kind of a train goes through here, so it must have been of interest to you anyway if you like trains so much.

This kind of a reply is fine if you were a perfect photographer, or if I wanted to know how many faults you could find with my photos. The fact is, we all have our own ways of taking photos and my may not be much like yours at all. So even if I had more experience, that doesn't mean I'd want to shoot things the way you do. I'm sure I as well as others could find fault with some of your photos too.
But that's what I get for posting my pics on a forum like this where there is so much competition, jealousy, etc.

Careful what you wish for buddy. You can ask 100 "photographers" for an opinion and you will get 100 different ones.
