Thank you Andrew I do fully understand and accept the things involved when I open up to being critiqued. I'm not a young man so I've been critiqued many times in all aspects of my life, it's part of growing. As you said "Evaluate their input and adjust your technical settings or creative leanings as you see fit but in the end, what you like is paramount"

Thank you Marko, I will post another in the critique section forthwith.

Iguanasan, I understand exactly what you are saying about technical ability vs.photographic mind. I have a technically oriented mind, I understand the mechanics of photography, how to use the camera, how optics affect the image being recorded and I can read light, to a certain degree, I even get it right some times. Seeing the image in the first place is where I'm lacking the most at the moment.
