I very nice portrait. Mamma protectively in the background makes the shot perfect to my eye. Zoo shots can be hard to capture what with moats and fences. And, they are perfectly acceptable when the environment is acknowledged properly. Nicely framed and executed.
We'd like to keep this to member's shots, and ID where it was shot. If a backstory, fine; if not, also fine.
Thanks.
Also, insults and crap photos will be deleted.

I saw you deleted my last two posts. The one was a comment on morbid photography, one of the main themes in photography, the other a shot of a great blesbok-steak, nicely composed in a circular frame, crispy sharp at the right exposure. The used pan was an allegory of the transience of carnal pleasures.
So, whose gonna judge what a crap shot is anyways? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think the author of a photography should decide what’s a great shot or not.
When it comes to tobaccos or pipes nobody here is judging if they are worth mentioning in this forum.
With such lofty artistic statements in your photography, you'll have to spell it out for us ignorami, or ignoramuses.
In the mean time, for lack of a committee which will not be formed here, I decide what's crap. Read the rules, please. You don't want an extended argument with us mods.

Too involved. That's why photogs seek out criticism from respected peers, editors, other persons with the proper perspective and knowledge. And, the customer is the most important cog in the process. The shooter can tell what he/she was trying to capture. The editor/customer will tell the shooter if they were successful. 'nuff said!
My best shot of the year 2023. Air Force Thunderbirds during the Long Island show over Jones Beach.

I stopped seeking critical commentary on my work a long time ago. I make pictures for two reasons: 1) It brings me satisfaction. 2) Someone is paying me. Often times, #2 and #1 manage to intersect, but not always. Either way, other people’s opinion of me or my work means nothing to me, unless it has bearing on if someone will hire me again. And then it’s just a question of money, not self worth.
I like this picture.
It reminds me of food.
(Taken at Herschel’s East Side Deli, Philadelphia, PA earlier this month.)
Took this one in late spring on the farm. I’m no photographer but I like this one.
I do too. A little shallower depth of field and you nailed. But, that's just me. The sandwich looks delicious. Made me want one. Bad!!!
