OK I have an image up named Crystal Clear. I like it, think the reflections and the colors are good and everyone that has seen it seems to agree because I get 6-10 on this with an average of 7.3+. I recently got a 5 from a person named ********. I said "this is the lowest vote I received on this image, do you have suggestions to make it better?" This is the reply I received:
if you are telling me what have you done differently of would done anybody with a camera in hand (and gere i could include my son wich is 3 years old).....So where is your contribution as photographer ? What makes you think your picture would be different form other 100 people wich could be there in that moment and place near tou you thaking a picture of that building ? I am telling you : nothing . this is the reason i gave you souch a low vote . And one more thing : you should not wote the other people pictures with a bad note just becouse thei did this at your picture . it is not fair . Thia is telling a lot about you as a person ...
PS> please excuse my english . It is not my native language
Now it sounds to me as if she is saying that my photography is no better than her 3 year old and then goes on to further insult me saying that I "revenge vote" Now I rarely vote at all, 1st I dont like the drama that seems to ensue when you vote honestly and the person doesnt like what you have to say and second I have my own business and dont really have time, which is why I only upload about once a week. Can someone translate this? Am I reading this wrong? I know my dang red hair sometimes comes with a temper and just want to make sure Im reading this right before I send Eric an email. I didnt think my question provoked such a response. Thanks so much!

| Irregardless if you are reading this right or not it is, IMO, bad taste to create a post such as this where you name the person. If you felt that there might be a misunderstanding and you actually want guidance then I would suggest that a private note to one or two members with the name left out is in order. Even better write the person and restate your understanding of what he/she said asking if that was the intended message. Let's assume there is a misunderstanding, english, after all is not the writers primary language, don't you think that just having the name attached to a post such as yours casts a shadow on this person? If you are not sure enough for Eric then you aren't sure enough for a public forum. If in doubt, Don't post your outrage in a public forum.

Hi there.I rarely post in the forum as most of the time I feel ignored. Did you post the name then edit it out? I did not even see any comments on the photo when I went to look.I like the picture.Some people are just rude.i voted on one photo that was so out of focus it was unreal and was told it depended on what my opinion of out of focus was.If I were you I would not worry about rudeness.You tell that even with a language
barrier.
