and just now i got another PM:

"a picture's worth is only determined by the creator. the purpose of the rules is to force each poster to self-reflect on what is best to put up for critique. it's not allowable that members keep changing pictures they put up for critique.

if you want to read it as an attack on your picture, that's fine with me. i don't get anything out of attacking your picture, you won't get anything out of reading beyond what is written as well."

Oh well, now i am accused of CHANGING my photo. Geez. what next

user1,
There are a lot of forums out that that will critique your photos with much quicker turnaround and no restrictions about the number of pictures. Flickr comes immediately to mind. Why not give them a try? I think that will suit your needs better.... as for clubsnap, i appreciate that they provide a means to share to a more SG local audience. I'm sure you find parts of the forum helpful too.

I think as a proud father to your newborn, you will want to capture the best moments of the entire childhood and you would want to quickly recover from the mistakes before your child gets old. A way to learn is to look at lots and lots of baby photos which Flickr can offer. When you have seen more, you will know what pictures appeal to you and you can go snap those pics of your baby. Go snap those pictures, put them on Flickr, get your speedy feedback and snap more pictures. Post more here too! People can see how you progressed in weekly windows.

My 2 cents,

TS, just take it easy, it is true that personally don't like the way some mob replying.

But in it case, i felt that the mob is doing the right thing and i second the way he reply.

The reply from the mob,
"consider what is worth putting up for critique before making a post, each member is only allowed 1 picture per week."

Maybe the words "what is worth" trigger your unhappiness, because the image is your 1 week old son, and as a father, you felt insulted and you are eager to improve fast and shoot more.

The word "worth" to me is actually, do you actually self-critique the image first before posting.

Let quote a example,

I posted a photo in C&C
feedback is not sharp.

I quickly retake and repost
feedback is lighting not good

I quickly retake and repost
feedback is composition not good.

I quickly retake and repost
feedback is not sharp again

I quickly retake and repost.......there is no ending and that is not the way to learn.

Photography is an art and it also involve technical knowledge, it can't be rush.......
Read the manual, blush up your technical knowledge, read up some book on children photography (alot in Riceball), look at others photograph and most important, shoot more, do self-critique, and in no time, you will improve and create you own style. This is the way to learn, there are no shot-cut.

i think the mod meant that since we are only allowed to post 1 photo per week in critic corner, so choose your best photo and post it to get critic so you can improve.
