I totally agree with you Gabmc.
Be nice to see the expert Steady post some of his own images for a change.
If you notice he does not have any uploads to view.
Its one thing to give advice on lighting techniques such as Jgardner does and does so so well as he knows what he is talking about, but to nit pick and give nothing but negative comments on each and every image as Steady does just does not set well with me. Seems he is never satisfied with anyones image.
My 2 cents opinion for what it is worth...
ps....

I think your images are great. In the end its what you like that is important.
Don\'t stop posting because of nit picks.

Are you saying he is wrong about what he says? Is the criticism valid? IMO the shots of Miss Glover are wonderful except for the choice of lens in some shots does make her nose look larger than it is.
Steady does have a disclaimer on each of his posts, and yes most of the posts do mention something \'negative\'. I think there is plenty of room for that since 90% of the comments are \"love it \" or \"awesome capture\" or \"I am a golden god\" (oh wait that was in Almost Famous...) with no explanation about why it is so good. Steady is insightful enough to say what he doesn\'t like but most who are giving two thumbs up usually dont say whay they LIKE it, which would be just as valuable as Steady saying why he doesn\'t like it. Maybe Steady should say what he likes about it before saying what he doesn\'t, but he does have a disclaimer. I don\'t know what kind of photographer Steady is (although I think I recall some shots he posted that were very nice) but he often offers a 2nd set of eyes, which the OPs can ignore or pay attention to.
C Gardner (not J) has his rules and sticks by them I don\'t know about the practical use of his formula but it works for him in theory. Personally I don\'t follow his rules but I respect Chuck for sticking to his guns. He\'s unflappable.
Lets not turn this forum into a mutual admiration society by trying to freeze out those who have contrary opinions.
