Sorry but I don't get it at all. Why was it even published in the
first place?
It's a cool photo.
Well I guess I just don't get 'cool' in that photo. More of a yawn
really.
Cheers
So everything that get's posted to the internet must be of interest to
you? Wow, you must be ****ed all the time.

Not at all but as a part time professional photographer (i.e. I have
been paid for photographs) *I may be allowed an opinion. Are you
perchance trying to grind an axe with me?

Cheers

Your skill or lack of skill as a photographer has nothing to do with it.
* Your posts in this thread seem to show that because you don't like the
photo that the guy at the TV station is in someway lesser than you for
posting it and anyone that did find it "cool" is in some way not as
smart as you.

No you are mistaken, I don't actively dislike the photo. The use of
'cool' and 'incredible' just adds to the yawn really. I could
understand the 'cool' better if it were a remarkable (or even
incredible) photo for composition or execution but that's not the
case. It's just a snap someone took and which someone else fills their
column inches with to garner their pay. So, as I look at it I see no
effort/skill in taking it or publishing it, just something to fill
column inches and maybe avoid having some really informative
publishing. If I am uncool for saying it as I see it then so be it,
but my opinion is no less for its honesty. I'd like to suggest that a
bit more honest criticism of the press could go a long way to fixing
some of the canker in today's society.

Cheers
