photographer egos are massive, mine, yours, and everybody else
PS: don´t know about you but I dont take pictures of what I dont enjoy or feel the gut to shoot it :D so every pic is important |
I was a college intern holding a piece I had written that had more red ink from my boss than black ink from my typewriter. A newspaper reporter who was present put his hand on my shoulder and gave me this life-changing advice. He said don't take it personally. That's the way it is in this business so you have to get used to it.
Listen, that's just as true in professional photography. Yeah, there are some pretty big egos around here, but pointing it out and saying that everyone has a big ego is a bad alternative to humbling yourself and learning from the pros here. If you can't handle criticisms of your photos, then stick with flickr. Personally, I love reading the critiques and watching humble photographers express thanks to those who teach them how to do better by pointing out the weaknesses in their shots.
Your photo is beautiful. It really is. But the "artiste" sticks his nose up and glorifies his art above all else. The professional stock photographer, by contrast, is a business artist who recognizes that the needs of the client come first here. Hang the art at home. Here, it's about providing photos that sell because they meet a client's need. And SS itself is the first line of clientele.
Don't let pride make you feel bad, reject advice, dismiss others or make bad decisions. Pride was, after all, one of the great motivators for the fall of Adam and Eve who took the fruit because they thought it would make them like God.
These people who are critiquing your photo are your friends. Recognize that. Treat them as such. |

I believe you don´t know me because I am a very helpful person too, I dont need to tell how and why and who because it doesnt really matter, I was only talking about a rejection, sure I am in a forum and everybody can point this and that, we all can judge, I dont judge much actually unless I am going to be positive
if I hurt anybody feelings here I apologise, have a great week |
