David,

It would be a public service were you to tell us the make of this perfect screen you keep extolling, and the careful steps you take to calibrate it correctly.

Then others might be able to see what you see and marvel at the quality! Furthermore, doing this might inject a more objective tone into the discussions, rather than your perpetual statement (I paraphrase): "It looks absolutely right on my screen -- others may not live in such luxury of perfection".

This brought a chuckle.

Kumsal your demanding expectations are interesting.

I would say the whole photo is not perfectly sharp - but it's not that far off.
I would also say that technically the shot is a reasonable to good photo - could be quite a bit better but we don't always get National Geographic covers.

I've already said that this is a good photo.
I look at each photo as if I took it myself and what I could do better.
Maybe my approach is wrong, but I take time to criticize photos that interest me.
I would share your photo here in this forum because it is very interesting.
My criticism probably concerns the remaining 5% that would have made this photo excellent.
I would like to look at similar photos from you again and again.

Kumsal,

I think the issue with is not that you critique a photo, but the way you do it. It may be (I don't know) that English is not your native language, but remarks like

"But, I think you should invest in a better monitor." and "I hope you didn't just take this photo with your iPhone." do upset people.

You have made some very interesting comments and we do welcome your ideas.

regards

Alan

Gotcha.

Not wrong if we understand where you are coming from.

Appreciated.

I am a bit of a perfectionist so I like to catch the best I can. Doesn't always happen, or not that often. On the flip side I like to post, so sometimes I know it could be better and maybe I'm not even happy with it. Also I don't have quality pp tools yet - I do enjoy when I get a shot that doesn't need much / anything done.

Yes, I had a little chuckle as well when I saw davidwien's post.

It seems to me he isn't aware that a given image can render differently on different devices for obvious reason.

I can comment only on how images render on my screen, not on how they might or might not render on other people's devices.

Something odd about this discussion - @davidwien appears to be talking to himself.

It seems straight forward to me.

I replied to Roel's post, who replied to davidwien who replied to my post initially.

davidwien addressed me as "David" because I suppose he believes that is my first name.

Other people address me as Dan, Danno, Steve, David etc etc etc. None of those are my actual first name so I don't care how people address danhasleftforum.
