Let me make myself clear. Approximately one month ago I joined up with another Photography site and was really looking forward to meeting people and having enjoyable
experiences. I read the rules carefully and then proceeded to sign up. I need to mention here that a major part of the rules was that: "We do offer constructive criticism here."
The key word there is; "Offer." Okay, no problem so far. For the first few days I was posting and receiving some glowing comments and many likes for my images.
One day I posted an image that I had spent some time on in Post Photo Editing software and was really pleased with the results. (You know what's coming, right?) Again,
I received many likes and positive comments, when suddenly these two ladies chimed in telling me that I should do this and I should do that and I should sharpen the image, I
needed to increase exposure and blah, blah, blah. Well at first I was quite surprised since I was expecting to receive an offer to criticize before barreling through, but nope.
I expressed my displeasure and inquired as to why they did not make the offer first. Needless to say this resulted in a heated exchange and them using obscenities and I just
went ahead and decided to no longer participate in that site. Now one member actually had, "Constructive Criticism Welcomed Here" imposed in his section heading.
Okay, I'll make the offer. "Constructive Criticism Welcomed Here"
