The first is people thinking their photograph is good because they took it. Now of course if you like your photograph, you like it and that’s fine. But if you ask for my opinion and don’t like my answer, that’s on you. I’m critiquing the photograph, not you as an individual. Also advice or opinions, especially unwanted ones, are
I always try and be positive in my critique and not point out solely what I might not like about the photograph. It is amazing that you went out and took the photograph in the first place, not everyone does that so it’s great that you’re trying to improve. But take in what people have to say if you asked for advice.
The second is people acting as if beginner photographers should be expected to produce stunning photographs. Some absolutely have taken amazing photos but most will produce photographs that might not look the best. I saw on some other subreddits how mean some more experienced photographers can be to newer ones.
Someone put up a photograph for people to critique. That takes balls and instead of people critiquing it, they just bullied the person. By no means should you not give valid critique, especially if they’re new and want to improve but I find some people are really mean with their “critique”.
Always point out what’s good about the photo as well as what’s wrong, so they can better understand what they’re doing right and wrong. Some people forget they were a beginner at some point, don’t think just because you got good doesn’t mean that you get to be cruel to beginners.
