Ben, it is a strange world. These images had no interest on the FM forum, but may have got me additional gallery representation. A gallery owner watched while I shot these and wants to see the printed images and my portfolio.
Hey Jim,
I am not sure why you are putting down the people here in the Landscape Forum? If some guy standing next to you thought that the scene could possibly warrant a print being made and put in his gallery, and yet no one praised you on those same scenes when you posted them here? Perhaps the reality is that it was a great scene but you failed either in capture or processing of them to capture that scene in its original greatness?
Personally I would not point the finger at the Landscape Forum here, but instead do some introspection on how the scene could have been presented better? Sometimes we need to step back and ask ourselves if it's really other people's fault that they don't recognize our greatness or is it that our work is not as great as we think? It's easy sometimes to operate in a vacuum and get a wrong sense as to the level of our photography. And that's where the value of a forum like the Landscape Forum here provides, it's a great feedback mechanism, and one that should be appreciated.
And finally I will say it's odd that you deleted the 3 photos from this thread, it has the feel of being childish which I hope is not your intent.
Jim
