Traffic jam ( retouched photo )
The orginal photo and how it looks is posted below . This was taken in Romania whilst driving our way towards Calafat .
I recieved several critcism in not too long past ( I would classify as annoying ) telling me of how I should present my picture like cropping ,alignment ,or one told me how boring my shots are and repeadtedly sending me annoying messages ... mentally fixated on me or just feeling miserable , is it ? Guess blocking is the best way to rid off annoying messages from disorientated flickr personas .
There is a thin line divide between constructive and bullying intent of a criticism or negative criticism . It's easy to recognize the truly sincere helpful advice and from someone who just love to peck on your work based on their own centered belief that they are right .
I am sure I could have cropped the picture it if I wanted to ,but I am not too bothered especially with travel shots .Personally , I felt travel shots should not be distorted too much or cropped to the point you loose the important characters in the photo to achieve perfection . As I loved travel , I don't want to be caught up with expectations from deceptive images of my destination looking idyllic and magical and when I get there it is less than how I percieved of the place ,rather a disappointing dump with less character . The same score I do apply for my photos ,take it or leave it .
The targeted photos were not in for a photo contest anyway ,so what the heck . Right , if I wanted to get rid of an eye-sore in my photo , only a little retouching needed and voila ,all unwanted parts of the image gone as with reference the photo on top ! If it's only cropping or changing the colour tone suggestion on offer , pls don't bother wasting your precious time poking on me . If there are interesting techniques you can share with for your good KARMA , I will surely appreciate it and will pay attention , be thankful and will definitely give you credit . At most times I 'm busy and tired to work towards perfecting my images . I don't sit around all day in front of my laptop tweaking images or having blooming time doing nothing, and this isn't an excuse . I have life outside flickr ,same as most of us here .
Although it has been a year since , I can't thank enough the positive and helpful advice of better techniques from Capt. Malarefi to improve my shots , whom I should have given the credit many months ago .
