fantasy reflections

Ok so I understand everyone has an opinion and photos are a matter of taste.  However, I really do not understand why so many times I get at least one 3 along with a bunch of 5 6 7's.  I notice that no matter how good a photo is.. and I am not talking about just mine.... anyone... most of them end up with 3's ... I have seen photos that got 10 ratings of 6 and 7 and then almost always there is 3 ...

I would love to have some of these people leave a comment as to WHY they rated it a 3.  SO YES I want to learn and improve using constructive criticism.  Rating someone a 3 is not helpful when the over whelming concensus is that they  love the photo.  Now I realize this photo didnt get any 3's but it did get some 4's - so tell me why.   I really love to hear WHY ... I might go OH I SEE... never thought of that ... as I said my purpose for submitting on this site is TO LEARN.. I want to get better...

I learn more from constructive criticism then from praise... but getting a 3 (or a 4) without telling me why dont help at all.... I sometimes think that there are people out there who vote 3's to boost their photo ratings ... I hope that is not the case....

Hey I have rated some 3 or 4 and I try to give a comment as to why... and some people have thanked up for the help.... that is what this is all about ... to make us all better artists and or photographers

I primi tempi ho sofferto,poi mi sono fatto un ragione,poi ho pensato che servissero per abbassare la media,adesso mi impegno di piu per renderli ridicoli !!

Semplice il contenuto ,ma reso importante dai giochi di luce,complimenti  !saluti Paul

A study in beauty. Strictly a personal taste but I would have cloned out that out-of-focus green stalk that is covering the bouganvillea petal before proceeding with the rest of the other steps. I love the lighting on this - well done. (6)
