I can't get to flickr on the computer i am on now, so go ahead and use the three linked in my first post Ira though they are not my best.....
Though you are
clearly getting ahead of yourself as I said my standards are high, because I have discovered such good photographers such as the ones I linked taking pictures at mag. far greater than 1:1. Not one image in the tammy thread can compare to Thomas or XBN's images IMO.... not even close. Am I "tooting my own horn"? NO! I never claimed my images are even in the same ball park as theirs... but I am striving every day to get there
Comparing 1:1 cropped/uncropped tammy images as you said to my images that are greater than 1:1 is hardly "calling a spade a spade."
(do me a favor and read the WHOLE first post. I clearly say I want above ~2:1 so it seemed apparent to me that my comment towards the tammy post of yours was because 1:1 is not what im looking for. When I said my standards were higher IS BECAUSE of people like Thomas... not because im some prideful kid who thinks his images are better than everyone elses
)
Id still be interested to here the response though, so go for it Ira! One condition though, post your own fav. 3 macro photo's to compare also
Im open for critiques any day of the week. How else am I supposed to be a better photographer?
