Two pines

A bit of first for me on social media, a critical comment on yesterdays post titled Croft. The comment was from a chap on Flickr who I don’t know or follow. As comments go it partly echoed my frustrations on the day of not getting more outline of the ruin in the composition. The restrictions was the terrain and only a drone would have sorted my problem, however I captured what was important to me, as it wasn’t an architectural or historical view. This didn’t stop this chap laying in with a Craig Revel Horwood critique, at best it was not abusive, at worst it was condescending, at least Horwood criticism comes from seeing the full dance, this guy had no knowledge of of how, why and where I took this photo. After a flippant response to his comment of “I must do better” he comes back with a sorry for being teacher-ish but he wishes more comments on Flickr were as helpful as his and I how I should use it to learn! I’ll let you be the judge, please feel free to look on Flickr for a laugh, my handle is flickr.com/malcbawn . Now I’ve got that of my chest the hardest thing today was choosing a photo, two Scots pine as I wandered down a fell a couple of weeks ago, it would look great in snowy conditions, that’s not meant as a criticism :-)
