This group is for negative feedback on photos or things that could be improved only. People tend to only comment on photos when they have something nice to say, but this group is designed to go against that trend so you as a photographer can find out what is wrong with your technique. So please don't be afraid to contribute a negative comment in this group on someone else's work.

If you would like to get constructive criticism on one of your photos here is what you do.

1. Click the Link that says "Start a Discussion"
2. Upload your photo to the "Post" section on the "Start a Discussion" screen. To do this click on the little photo icon next to the text formatting icons.
3. After your photo is uploaded you might add some text under it if you wish describing what you are concerned about or what you would like to hear opinions about.
4. Please do not use the attach section because then users will have to click on a link to your photo to see it. By using the "Post" section, users can study your photo more effectively.

Comment by Ron on April 20, 2013 at 9:33am: To get responses, click on Add a Discussion above. I will allow you to have a separate discussion of your photo. Also suggested is to reduce the photo size to about 700 to 1000 pixels on the long side, tell something about what you intended and reply back to people who take time to give advice. Not all advice is useful to you need to understand so if in doubt, look at the home page of the person giving it.

Comment by Vincent Staley on March 11, 2013 at 11:54am: What is the light source on the bow? I find that distracting. I assume the starboard side of the vessel was obstructed by the pier. So, I would have moved or zoomed closer to decrease the space to the right and filled in with more of the boat and eliminated the bright spot on the bow.

Comment by Mark Weise on March 11, 2013 at 10:55am: I like the boat very much just the way it is! Ah, opinions!

Comment by nathan mccreery on March 11, 2013 at 8:57am: Boat composition is too heavy on the left side. Needs more balance. I would leave more space on the left side between the boat and the dock. There is an area that is lighter in tone also on the left side, I would question the need for HDR in the boat photograph. Based on the tones I see here It seems to me that it could have been done quite successfully w/o HDR. Ditto on the castle.

The color balance on the castle is nice but again, why HDR? Also, the composition is split almost evenly in the middle, which can be a good tool of composition. However, in this case I can't tell whether the area under the horizon line is most important or the area in the sky. I am not a proponent of "Rules of Composition" or "Rules for Fools". In this case though we need to have more emphasis either on the foreground or on the sky.
