all very amusing. i love when i get a critique that i didn't ask for on flickr, and it's usually something like suggested crops via the note tool, or something about the color. or my favorite "great shot but not sure why you waste your time using polaroid film' or someone complaining about the cheap cameras, etc.

one dumb comment i see often is "great treatment". suggesting what? that i manipulated my shot to obtain the look?

Very good, very cringe worthy!

Speaking of critique, this is very funny, worth a look...

Great tones or lovely tones - that's what I get.  What the heck does that mean?  I guess anything with great tones is good. Composition, huh? Doesn't matter. You just gotta have the tones!

Yep! 'cause a toneless picture can be so boring to look at... (all black or all white prints are so disappointing ;) )

Washing my negative in cold tea, I was asked once where I downloaded the 'Tea Wash' plug-in. I had this photograph banned from TrekEarth because of too much post camera processing. Fools.

Like I once heard:
If you can see the retouching job, it means someone doctored it. If you can't see the retouching job, it means the guy who doctored it was really good...

Sounds like half the population of the globe isn't aware of that...
