Фото "The old lighthouse."

Those bright boats really draw an eye but unfortenatly too much. Battle between boats, lighthouse and streetlight makes picture sord of restless.
Tighter crop from left and up it would be more peaceful and still there`s enough details for longer view.

-IMHO-

Timo, you are the first person to give me constructive comments on my photographs and for that I am very grateful. You have made very valid points and your opinion is well received.
Thank you
Tim

I think this is the way how photographs should be critizided. Not only by numbers and "great" and "nice" comments.

When you do it other than your own native lanquage there`s big phossibility to get missunderstud. I think this is a big reason why international photosite`s are mostly places for "show-out".

My way:
Allways when You look pictures what will take lot of pluses and dozens of comments You should ask, Why (it is so good), Where (is the difference, what makes it better than others), How (can i improve my pictures for same level). Thats one of the ways to get better pictures and I don`t mean to start copying anyones style `cause it doesn`t get You anywhere.

Huh.. probably the longest comment what i have been ever written in this site

What you say makes sense (your English is good). I wrote a comment on one of the forums to say just that, we amateurs are looking for consturctive critism from good photographers, maybe with hints as to how to improve. It`s the only proper way ..... I think.

I like your idea about looking at other pictures to see where to improve.
Thanks Timo
Kind regards
Tim
