For me, these are really mundane :(

Very nice, well done.

Haven’t seen many of these in a long time, what attracted them down?

I didn’t realize you had to read and respond threads to when they were posted, that might explain the delay.

But don’t worry if you don’t get that, it’s only a trivial thing :)

Oh, and by the way- these comments aren’t for critique.

First it was no critique.. now routes and times?

The images are not here for critique but to highlight the cuts being made not just in Waterford but nationally.

Isabella, John 17 said they weren’t up for critique and there you go…one comment and straight in with critique ???????

Not here for critique in a photo critique forum? I don’t get it, I come for the photography, not to mull over a gloomy economy.

What the obsession that people have with multiple exclamation marks and questions marks? Can someone explain that to me in a photo that’s not for critique?

I expected nothing Tommy but maybe you should read it again!

‘I took this image because the situation facinated me’ & I posted it.

Whether you like it or not, that’s your privilage & you’re welcome to it.

I’ve read it several times, and unfortunatley my view still hasn’t change.

This situation may have fascinated you, but the image says almost nothing about the scene.

What’s the exclamation point for? Are you angry or something? Sorry if I have upset you in anyway, I was just being frank :)

To be frank, & I’m not Frank, I didn’t take this picture to please people!

I took this image because the situation facinated me!

I thought this woman in her expression throughout the conversation was beautiful & elequent!

Although she didn’t utter a word throughout her time & my time in the restaurant I thought from a laymans

term she quitely conveyed a lot of emotion & feeling in her ‘words’

Unfortunately this wasn’t quite captured in any of my images but it will remain with me forever when I look at this image!

And maybe ‘it was’ a situation where you had to be there to appreciate it but to my eye it was a beautiful time & place

to sit & just watch as an accidental tourist, so who ever this lady is or couple are, take a bow!

What a great experience it was for me to watch & ‘listen’ in to your world! Thank you.

I’m not quite sure what your expectation is by posting this photo in a critique forum. Are you hoping that someone might excite themselves in your fascination, that several posts later you decide to share?

Sadly for me, your narrative almost admits that it’s a lack-lustre scene that requires some sort of forceful explanation of it’s purpose.

The picture really doesn’t excite me at all. It’s pretty un-interesting.

Not sure what else there is to say about it. Sorry :(

Photographed so often, has to be special to stand out. Unfortunatley this one does not. Post-processing stands out more than the content.

Yes, this is a male blackbird. As per the previous post – Females are brown and don’t have the yellow eye ring.

Well done.

(it does not work for me etc)

This is actually what I was aspiring to say.. I just went to the effort of going into some detail and elaborating on why.

Apologies, I thought members were free to post comments and critique on photos irrespective of whether they liked them or not.
