I am not denying the fact that good criticism is helpful but I feel Mikes comments do not help at all and actually come across and being rude. I no I am definatley no AA or anyone close but sometimes its nice to here that some of your work is actually not half bad.

Mike, I thought this site was for constructive criticism to help photographers better their shots, if you are unable to give constructive criticism please do not give negative comments as everyone has a different point of view and perspective of how an image should look we do not all look through the same eyes! There is no need to be negative and rude about mine or anyone elses photos remember alot of us are just enthusiasts and just enjoy taking pictures as a hobby and your comments can make or break someones efforts and discourage them from taking any photos ever again. So please take a minute and think about the detrimental effects your words have on individuals.

I quite liked the single rock thats what drew me to that composistion also the ducks swimming past not that that stick out as much as I had hoped in the conversion but if everyone agreed we would all have the same photos hey Was lovely place I have never been before.

It was sharper in original seems to have lost abit uploading no tripod couldnt carry it around was aching just wanted to go home to be honest I also didnt want to carry around all my lenses so only took the 18-55 out on camera with circular polariser attached. Thankyou
