Most photographers like showing their pictures to other people and displaying them in their homes and offices.
Of course we shutterbugs are proud of our work, and we're eager to have it critiqued by others, or are we?
I was always happy when someone commented that, my "pictures looked like postcards", and then, many years ago, I read in a photography magazine that if someone says that your pictures are common and not special.
It bothered me for a while because it seemed to make sense. After all, postcards are supposed to document something in a purely technical way, they're not supposed to be works of art.
With that in mind I decided that the comparison between professionally done postcards and an amateur's efforts is valid and it is complimentary.
I say that because postcard photos generally are very well done at least in terms of technical factors such as exposure, focus, etc. So if someone feels that your photos could be used on postcards the observer is saying that they are correct technically.
As far as subject matter and composition are concerned that's where the creative aspect enters the mix and as is said, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
If you would like some critique of your photos, and the opportunity to comment on other photographer's efforts then start a "Photoblog" and show off your masterpieces.
Check out this article about digital photoblogs and then set one up.
By the way, feel free to comment on any of the pictures in this blog that I took, such as todays and on the previous posting.
All compliments will be graciously accepted and criticisms carefully considered.
Take a camera with you whenever possible, and look around, you'll find a picture somewhere.

BenQ has been showing off its first stab at an MID since the Intel Developer Forum last fall, but it hasn’t exactly been all that forthcoming about the full specs of the device. That situation seems to have changed at the more recent IDF in Shanghai, however, although those details seem to just now be making their way across the Internet. As we knew before, the device will pack an Intel Atom processor (the base 800MHz model), which will apparently be backed up by 512MB of RAM, a 4GB SSD hard drive, and HSPDA support in addition to some integrated WiFi and Bluetooth. The device will also apparently pack a so-called “G-Senser” for “direct touch and free movement to surf on internet,” along with voice activation, and optional GPS. Still no word on the all important pricing or release details, unfortunately, although we hope BenQ will save itself some embarrassment but getting the thing out the door before the next Intel Developer Forum.
