Uscita - Plaza Spagna

In Puerto Rico we don't have trains. Not one. Thats why I have this

facination with them. This is Rome's subway, Piazza Spagna stop.

I love photos with movement in them. I sometimes photograph trians too. I guess this is why I like this so much!

David I have question for you. Don't you think I must quit the ratings. I mean just post for critique only? I got a 1 from someone who does not even have a porfolio. Is this very very bad? Well is not the best pic in the world but ...it is THAT bad?

Angel, It is annoying when you get a rating that cannot be backed up with sensible comment. I comment on photos more than I rate them. To be honest, I don't know how to answer you. I have thought about submitting photos for 'critique only' myself. However, tying a comment with a rating is something I like to do. This is not always possible.

 

To this specific photo, it is something I like. I can see how others would not like it and may rate it 3 or 4. However it most certainly is not a 1.

 

I don't know if the ratings system will change in view of the 'Robot Raters' we have seen over the last few days.

 

I think after writing all this my advice would be, stick it out for a little while longer. Ratings mean nothing really. It is the comments from those that you respect and/or admire that mean the most.

 

 

I love movement in shots too, but what made this one stand out for me is the colour!

 

I like the parallels of orange and yellow.

 

Just re: the ratings game, I tried the "critique only" and found that not as many people viewed my shots - so have decided to deal with the idiot raters out there, kinda playing the odds of views vs comments.

 

Eventually, you'll find people who will leave comments... like David, I comment more than I rate these days - its the only way to learn!

 

Cheers, Ellen

yo de las puntuaciones la verdad es que no les presto atencion, lo que si me gustan son los comentarios bien intencionados y con buenas palabras, pues asi es realmente como se aprende.

A mi una persona me puntuo una fotografia infantil con 1/1 pues oye... ni caso. Cuando tengo un rato pues puntuo, o comento dentro de mis limitaciones tecnicas y gusto.

No quiero ser pesado y vamos con la foto...Buen angulo de perspectiva convergente, el reflejo de los fluorescentes distraen un poco el movimiento del tren, has sabido plasmar ese pequenyo momento. Aqui en Barcelona tambien tenemos una parada de metro con el mismo nonbre, por el contrario siempre concurridisima.

Un cordial saludo.

Gracias por tu consejo. En realidad es una lucha perdida, donde hay mucha gente siempre algun idiota con iniciativa se hace notar. Hay en photo.net una representacion espaniola de mucha clase y talento.

Gracias de nuevo.

As many as there are pictures like this one on photo net, yours strikes me as one of the best accomplished, I believe it's because there's people in it, but not to many. Congratulations!
