Boathouse in Winter

Thanks for leaving a comment on my picture. Checking your portfolio I see it was your first so I'm honored. This is a good shot. I'm looking forward to seeing more from you. Welcome to PN. Regards, Jack

Is this the standard I should live up to???????

Yes, yes it is. All of your photos should look precisely like this.

EndofDays, how many awards did you get for this photo? That, you know, is what tells me a photo is good!

My mom likes it and put it on the fridge and a bunch of people on some websites liked it. 

I can now safely ignore any constructive criticism I receive and resist any urges to improve my work.  I've arrived at the top of the heap and there is nothing to do now but bask in the neon glow of my interweb accolades.

Hate to disagree with Jack but I find this to be mundane subject, poorly composed, and miserably captured. Those that rate a lot of the work of others, post very little of their own, and post under a non-sensical name, don't last long around here. I bet your mom had second thoughts the minute you came out of the hatch. :-)

 

I don't rate other peoples work so you kinda lost me with that one.

Just so as to be clear, you don't like my photo and my mommy doesn't like me ?

Oh my, now you've hurt my feelings.
