Great Photographers on the Internet Hi Irv, I don't know what you were thinking here dude! You got a pretty model (altho kind of old), but you have caught her with her eyes cloes in a not very good pose. Biggest problem is YOU NEED CROP to a vertical!!!!! (via)

Hilarious.

Now that I use flickr I see this a lot in the comments of some photos there - unasked-for advice. I've followed through a couple of times to the photos of the person who's offering the critiques, and it's usually someone who has absolutely no talent whatsoever. It almost never fails.

Aw, poor Bresson and his lack of AF.

loquacious, your post would have been better if you had left off the 'critiqued by noobs' part. You should have left off the ellipsis, too. And two 'vias' is one too many. S'ok though...we all make mistakes. You'll do better next time!

Nothing like advice from the ignorant to improve your skills.

I liked the top photo though, because of its "errors" really.

Cartier-Bresson Booted from Flickr

When everything is blurred you cannot convey the motion of the bicyclist. On the other hand, if the bicyclist is not the subject-- what was?

Hee hee! For about halfway through the first post I was all "what in the hell is wrong with this guy?" And then I jsut started laughing.

Whew Speck...I'm relieved. It took me a minute, too. When I got to Cartier-Bresson, I finally got the joke.
