Fire in the sky C&C

[tegan]

I AGREE 1 MILLION % Kiley. Tegan, your comment about the contrast and your technical experience is appreciated. BUT - This is a learning forum and your comments on what judges might have thought of this image 30 years ago is 100% irrelevant and your tone was too harsh and rude. It takes baby steps and YEARS to get to a level where creativity abounds. Let's be a bit more sensitive to where an OP is coming from please.

Thanks
Marko

I disagree 1 MILLION %. Learning what to shoot is as important as how to shoot it and that HAS NOT CHANGED. My tone is NOT harsh and rude. THAT IS YOUR CHARACTERIZATION of a straightforward, honest statement, because you disagree with it.

It is not irrelevant either. NO centre of interest is no centre of interest. Why should that be sugar coated? Why should it need to be sugar-coated?

When I taught children, it was not necessary. Why should it be necessary with adults?

your tone is HARSH & RUDE because of the BLUNTNESS. CAPITALIZATION also seems to imply yelling...
many members would agree.
your knowledge & education is greatly valued & appreciated, but the way you deliver it leaves much to be desired.

my quote of yours in the previous message had nothing mentioning centres of interest.
it was "To make matters worse, this is considered a cliché shot by judges in high level evaluations and does not achieve any measure of success and I know that from the personal experience of having submitted similar shots a few decades ago. - Tegan"
there sure as heck is nothing 'sugar-coated' about that statement.
calling us children is not exactly what i'd consider opposite of harsh or rude either...
