Marie:

1) Upload your images onto something like imagesack. Flickr doesn't like hotlinking, so your pictures won't be visible after a little bandwidth usage (that is, after some external views, and on a forum like this one you reach the limit quite soon.)

2) Remeber that no matter what you do, you will never ever reach a 100% of positive feedback. Plus it seems that recently some people here act in a rude and harsh manner, while posting pics a little below snapshots. Don't get obsessed and keep loving your hobby and job.

3) Always listen to comments and critiques, no matter how harsh. This will help you get better anyway. You can try to follow some suggestions and offer something different to your customers. But let them choose the style they prefer, even when it's crappy to everyone else's eyes.

4) I love your pictures, good timing in capturing them. And yes, I would use a little less texturing too, but I'm not one of your customers so...

I hope you got my point :)

:hug:
I should have posted in the first post that I was just showing the pics and not really asking for comments :p
Especially after I see how people put down your pictures or Chantal's pictures..
People lately are very negative and seem so depressed... I can't seem to share that negativity when I have such a happy life!
Taking pictures at a horse show is so much fun! Even if I get sunburned and have to stand up for 8 hours in a row... last show I went I didn't even get a chance to go pee during the whole show! And I was so hungry I almost ate one of my horses when I got home :lol:
But the crowds are fun, people are so nice and I even found my daughter's new riding instructor just by talking to people here and there at a dressage show :)
I think photography is all about passion, you must love doing what you do and look forward to the next shooting :D

I agree with this marie and I really like the photos you posted from this show although I'm not sure what it is about the last photo that bugs me.. maybe I feel like I'm suffocating when I look at it? I think it may just be a bit too close but then again I don't know anything about those races and maybe that's what they want? honestly I like whatyou're doing marie and I see from the photos that you love your work and that you ahve fun. you can just tell ^_^ I hope to get to your level someday or chantal's level or rookie's level. there's so much to learn here!

It is funny the evolution in this forum.
I start as a total noob.
Then my pictures are slowly getting better and I get so many praises.
Then I upgrade my camera for somehting not everyone agree on, I make the wrong choice.
Then I start making some money for my work, and I'm suddenly a really bad photographer and editor :rofl:
Oh my......
Then when you are done attacking my work, you attack my personality :rolleyes:
And then even, you start wondering why there are less and less quality posts in here...
I am so lmao writing this :)

Maybe it pisses you off that I am making a little coins off something that combines 2 of my passions: horses and photography :D
Jealousy won't get you anywhere other than the hospital for your ulcers :)
Live happy!


You are so incredibly pompous.

Please remove head from sphincter and look back at my original post, where I obviously implied that I LIKED the photos, SANS crappy editing.

Every time I read your posts where you argue with cnc (but youre always at the ready to jump on a post where someone says they like it with kisses and hugs), and sing your own praises it just reminds me of the people who get posted on Youarenotaphotographer.com, and it was definitely reinforced by your "someone paid for this so obviously its good" attitude.

Seriously, just get off your high horse (pun intended).
