It doesn't please me, no, because Its called constructive criticism.

Nice of you to appoint yourself as chief critic

saying "but the picture just bored me to tears, sorry." is hardly constructive, or criticism. the attitude that you portray is the precise reason i have never joined a camera club. i have won a competition and sold work even though i don't know the rules.
i stand by my statement that you should just enjoy it.

I'm not a member of a camera club either, I'm not anything. The simple fact is that seeing is a language in its own right, but as kids, we are told to stop looking at the pictures and concentrate on the words, so most people never learn it and then start to think that it's some sort of big secret thing, when really, it is as simple as reading a good book or reading the notes of a symphony. But on you go, continue to fight against this supposed system.

Can't we just get back to the OP's request, which was to "Share your photography in this thread - No fancy cameras or skills necessary, just pictures that you've taken and are proud of"?
If someone wants some professional advice, fine, but it's very off-putting to find people's snaps subject to uninvited criticism when the OP isn't even looking for "fancy skills". I've liked all of them so far and I hope there are many more to come.

I just started to give a bit of friendly advice. Yes, ok, my 'bored to tears' words might have been a bit harsh, but as for the rest, if you can't take a bit of constructive criticism then I'm sorry, what can I say, really?
People seem to have completely misunderstood what I was saying, and quite frankly, the outrage caused just dismays and bemuses me.

Accidental photography! We can play that game where you have to guess the brand from half a logo.1st round to me: Maaaa-RIN!
PS Jo I hope your camera didn't actually hit the ground and break?

Though I have dropped it before now .... Canon cameras are much sturdier than you'd think.

After reading much of the above, can I suggest, perhaps, a separate 'Photography criticism thread?'
For those that seek constructive criticism, and those that just wish to share pictures they've taken can continue to post them here.

Lucca cathedral museum last week. I'm not sure in the middle ages how the conversation went between the sculptor and the buyer where the fruits of the former's work first came to light. However, I guess the result may have been that somewhere there was a more noble-looking horse with a replacement head that didn't look as if it was both insane and talking.
