Here are a wee bird and a couple of crosses I shot two week ends ago
in the Burren, in Co. Clare, Ireland. They're probably full of
technical faults (and I'm putting on my chainmail in expectation of
the deluge of criticism), but they look pleasing to me.
IMHO The first rule of an image is that it is pleaseing to the maker.

Your shit photos and social attitude are turning other peoples hobby into a
job so how about you stop being a cunt and start getting a clue?

Normally I don't write a lot in the messages that I do about my photos
because I have another profession and for me the photography is a hobby, but
always I try to continue practicing, reading comments about photography, and
seeing some examples, in some free time that I have.

Does not compute. That film would easily print to 12x8" so scanning at
4000 dpi should produce fine results.
I've scanned film from the 50's and 60's recently at 4000 dpi with
wonderful results - even wish I still had my Minolta 5400 to go a little
further.

Oh, OK. I didn't consider one sentence to be a paragraph, merely a phrase.
As far as "favor de..." goes, I'll be sure to tell my Mexican university
professor friend to stop using it. Ditto the Argentinian lawyer with whom I
occasionally correspond.

To be fair, many posters have actually made real attempts to
constructively critique your photos. It may be an idea to stop
posting for a bit, borrow some photography books from your local
library, or buy a few photo magazines, and learn by practice, and by
looking at some other people's work.
It is wasting your time not to pay attention to what experienced
