Too contrasty for me, but that is just my taste.
Good to hear from you Tony Thanks for the comments and the suggestions. Nice re-edit.
I agree with you. If somebody doesn’t want negative feedback, positive feedback, or any feedback, they shouldn’t post an image on this forum.
May be that is the reason why there are very few posters in this forum.
For me, personally, I put my image in this Forum with the hope that we all can get some education. And I understand somebody not liking something. I am fine with that. There is nothing wrong with personal taste and with not liking something.
I also always accept all kinds of comments and critiques, especially the so-called “negative” ones, because I don’t think there are negative critiques. As long as they are constructive and help with the intent, I consider all critiques, negative or positive, always positive.
I consider and weigh well those who find shortfalls, but, at the same time I ponder whether they have ground or not. I have the will and the curiosity to read with interest all opinions, but also, I need to use my good sense to filter which opinions to go along with, choosing those that help moving my images in the direction I want to move, especially if those opinions are negative because only those critiques will help me improve, while ignoring ineffective feedback that have no contest of the intent or goal of the photographer, or focus on shortfalls without offering any suggestion for improvement.
As I said: as long as the comments are constructive and are offered with positive intent, they are all positive for me and I am always willing to re-edit my images applying their suggestions, as I always do.
If they are not, I may say something about it.
Take care.
