*sigh* - I\'m growing wearing of going back and forth with you, and I\'m simply amazed at how much time and energy you have put into giving me \"constructive criticism\" on telling me how you think my project could be better. Really. Just amazed. You must have loads of time on your hands.
And for the record, I tried to take the hi-road before, but I\'ll be honest. I\'m in full agreement with wickerprints. Your entire approach to this thread and me was combative.
Your \"advice\".. Well, lets go back and read your first piece of \"advice\" - \"you need to turn your camera to portrait\". Hold the phone? - I don\'t \"need\" to do anything! Thats where you started to come off as... how did wickerprints put it....? Lacking \"social\" skills.
And then lets look at your first sentence of your lenthy rant\"then why shoot with the 135L wide open?\" Completely combative and argumentitive. I saw it and just let it slide, but I\'m glad wickerprints pointed it out so I didn\'t have to.
Lastly, get over your post count. I saw your post count - and it means absolutley nothing to me. I have over 2700 post on another photography forum. What does that prove? That I have a lot of post. It means nothing.
What I do put stock in is talent, and judging on your photo\'s posted on flickr... well... I\'ll just say happy Bee shooting... and that you have absolutley zero room to give anyone portrait advice being you don\'t shoot portraiture. Perhaps thats why your \"improvments\" to me are quickly being dismissed.
Post counts mean nothing to me. Talent does. And lets just say I wont be making you a contact on flickr to follow your photo\'s for inspiration.
This is my last response to you. I don\'t have the time/energy to keep responding and justifying my portrait project to a macro & lanscape photographer. If you were Lachlan Bailey or Mark DeLong then I would take your advise to heart... but you really have zero room to give me any advice.

Hold the phone? - I don\'t \"need\" to do anything! Thats where you started to come off as... how did wickerprints put it....? Lacking \"social\" skills.
And then your next comment to open up your lenghty rant \"then why shoot with the 135L wide open?\" Completely combative and argumentitive. I saw it and just let it slide, but I\'m glad wickerprints pointed it out so I didn\'t have to.
