It was my opinion that you did not showcase the clouds in the sky, but presented a clearly focused post instead. I wasn't sure why there was haloing around the top edges of the post, so questioned as to how it might have occurred. Critiquing is an important 2-way tool for improving our craft. If we critique another's image, it helps to clarify our own knowledge. Receiving a critique helps us to see flaws that others might notice. We don't have to agree with every critique, but understanding what is being said should help us. If you are a professional or a top-end amateur, then my critique won't help you. If you are not a photographer of National Geographic caliber, then perhaps rethinking your attitude might improve your skills. Personally, I'm grateful to people who take the time to give me feedback on my entries.

For me it is a hobby.
to have some constructive feedback is always welcome.
not sure if your tone, sentence structure and use of
"Clouds" is the Challenge, not "Post".

really does your claims of (being polite to all people - and not deliberately hurting anyone's feelings - is normally a source of pride for me.)

But I guess your right that we are meant to give our views of other people's images.
Maybe my attitude just reflects the tone of the comments.

Thanks

Guy

I don't think that the clouds are the clear feature of this photo.
