| I get so so many comments that are just so damn wrong all the time. People say things like ... "nice crop" even when I don't crop. People say "nice job you did with the color here" I dont have photoshop, I hardly ever edit photos. Only color enhancing I do is Contrast adjustments. People should not assume when voting. Vote and then ask your questions, ill get back to every voter when the challenge is over. |

We do assume. We must.
Cropping can be done in-camera as well as in post-processing. Saying, "nice crop" means you framed it well, nothing more.
"Nice job with the color" isn't very descriptive, but when I say it, I might mean that you've limited your palette well, or that you've chosen a particularly inspiring and vibrant subject. Besides, not touching the color is sometimes just as important as diddling with it.
And I can't help but chuckle over the fact that you're complaining about positive comments....
Here, have a sour lemon drop on me--it might sweeten you up a little. =o |

A nice crop can refer to the crop choice that was made when snapping the shot. It does not have to refer to post editing.
The same goes for the color comment. Good color is good color, it doesn't necessarily imply that the photo has been edited to attain that result.
I think you may be assuming that people are assuming. I don't think we should ever discourage people from giving their honest opinions in comments. :)
You beat me to the draw KaDi.

I have to agree. Nice crop/composition to me is either in the camera or ps. colors, sharpness too. The better you do in the camera, the better the shot. We all do some type of post processing. Its just alot easier the closer you get right within the camera the first time.....sorry post like this doesnt motivate me to comment.....ace |

Me too, sweetie. :-)
Nothing wrong with being critical and making assertions. It's one way we learn. (In my case, my critical nature has sometimes drawn some harsh lessons. But they're one's I won't forget.) |

As others have already stated making a photo is not just what you do with it in post-processing. There are several articles that go into the pyschological aspects of photography and compositional 'rules' happened as a result of what people found appealing. Western people read left to right and that can make certain compositions appeal more to them than those who read right to left or up and down. Additionally there is the psychological effect certain colors have on feelings, which designers have used to their advantage for years. It's like black and white images are associated more with dramatic imagery.
