I am not bitter about the fact that you did not like them, what I am annoyed about is how unproffesional you went about commenting on them. If you truley are a photographer and have a love of photography you should be able to look past your personal asthetic taste of a picture and comment on the technical side of them, yeah fine say you dont like the subject but a bit of constructive critisism would be more mature and probably gain you a lot more respect than you have on this forum.
I actually looked through most of your work and although some is OK most of it is actually just opertunist photography, ie being in the right place at the right time and then cropping it to the way that looks good.
This has to be the most arrogant post I have ever read it is basically saying I am amazing because I take commercial style photos that everyone wants to see, having your work on a postcard has to be the lowest of the low. Bragging about your work in this way is just sad and goes to prove that you are not the type of person who I would ever consider talking to about photography. I have sold work, had it displayed in galleries, will have work on an album cover in the near future, but I do not feel the need to use this as a way of saying I am correct in any way shape or form. Now most people have agreed with me and not you on this subject, you seem to be turning into a running joke on this forum with your keyboard bashing, my advice (take it or leave it) is that you relax pull your head from your arse and start to act like an adult on the forum. For once why dont you try to say on the forum what you would say to the person in real life.
P.S I would say this to you in real life ask anyone who knows me

Needs to take more photos
Well this started off as a great thread! I love the shot in the opening post, especially as it includes my old favourite: Battersea Power Station. I rarely do skyline pictures, maybe I need to give it more of a go. Here's an oldie:

riot sky = attention seeking troll.
I aint letting anything go until he articulates any kind of post that has an ounce of truth in it. First off this wasn't a thread about 'crit my sunset', it was merely a thread for others to post pics up they had taken, albeit good ones are bad ones.
If he wasn't as puerile and egotistical, to be able to take criticism with out injecting and derailing another thread with narrow-minded objectives then perhaps. I couldn't really give a shit what he and anyone thinks of my photos and I have never been as egotistical to call myself a photographer, although I get the impression he does (bless).
Further more he truely does demonstrate what a fool he is; "being at the right place at the right time", well yeah - I don't go for contrived photogaphy, insofar as I see something and I react. I mean if you're going to use that to belittle someone then you're discounting the likes of photographers he hasn't heard of, so I won't bother wasting my breath, but he may of seen some of Paul Russel's stuff... and by his rationale he's also crap
Quite simply he needs to grow up and leave his narcissist online persona at home.

Not defending Riot Sky or that picture but this is complete and utter bollocks. It's a picture taken for the fun of it and loads of people do it - for fun. How does it make the person any less knowledgeable about photography?GuerillaPhoto said:
Anyway it's no worse than holding a camera at the end of your outstretched arm, pointing it back at yourself to take a self-portrait, then cutting yourself out and pasting yourself onto a cloudy black & white sky. Especially when it looks that bad.
As for being in the right place at the right time... do you think good photography = carefully setting up a predetermined shot?

I think both riot sky and GuerillaPhoto have taken some amazingly cool photos and some that are not so great. A bit like me and anyone else here. FWIW I consider both of you to be better, more experienced photographers than I am and I feel very pleased with my progress.
I wish you'd both just give it a rest and move on
Less willy waving and more photos please
