Raising Quality of OPF Photography for 2009, "Riskit!" Threads & Dynamics of Help.

I'm repurposing some posts from this fascinating "Riskit!" thread. It brings us to the important topic of OPF's policy of helping folk with photographic projects but not teaching. This requires an adult and accountable relationship between those who show generously show work in "Riskit!" and those who give feedback. At the best of times, this could lead to an improved way of expression ideas into a delivered photograph. I hope we'll have comment on the "bargain" between those setting to work out or improve some genre of their own work for themselves and those who devote the time to give feedback. So review this taste of responses to John's work and gauge John's reaction. Asher


Original Post by John Angulat:

I honestly didn't know where to post this image (and don't be wise-guys and say "the trash can") so I'll put it here.
Sometimes mistakes turn out for the better...the intent was to capture the rigging in the tall ship but the backlighting pushed everything except the clouds to black.
I sort of like it anyway.
Thoughts?
