I understand that each individual have their own opinions and there's different school of thoughts in how to point new/budding/aspiring photographers in the right direction.. But isnt the objective of this forum for friendly sharing of pics and exchange of objective comments?
Unfortunately, for now, this thread seems to have deviated from all the contructive purposes and goodwill of helpful photographers (be it gentle-worded encouragement or harsh criticism), into a mess of quarrels, disagreement and even bad blood between photographers not related to TS.
TS, be it positive or negative encouragement u've gotten, take them in ur stride and let them fuel ur passion to keep on improving ur shoots. Ur replies here will not help you in at all, so pls pls keep shooting and learn from eager peers who are keen to help you improve. I look forward to see your next sets of pics and let the result justifies..
Shall we all bury the hatchet and encourage TS on his road to better his photography skills?
