Mesquites and Clouds

View with a less critical eye and see if it looks alright... Okay

view it critically if you have to... Happy Holidays!

Thanks Margaret. My viewpoint on ratings is that there are a few individuals that have been hypnotized by the #3 key and are stuck in the critique forum doling them out as fast as possible. I don't think they even see the image they are rating. I certainly don't mind any thoughtful critque or rating. I would hate to think they were merely repressing other's photos to keep their ratings at the upper end of the scale. I shouldn't spend this much time considering the issue. I'm just happy if someone is able to see something they enjoy in my photographs. I know that I enjoy seeing all of the places around the world that I may never be able to see otherwise. Anyway, I can't concern myself with the trivialness of thoughtless rating robots.

I do give much thought to positive comments like yours and those that provide helpful comments. I think the rating system can be a positive thing but it does have its flaws. Again, thanks so much for taking time to comment on a photo that I haven't seen for awhile. I appreciate it more than you know. ~Sky
