It amazes me that most photographers call themselves "artists" but only a few know the meaning of the word.Some photographers are so concerned with PERFECTION.. don't they know that, as life has flaws so does art?....Photography in this case is art. I think critiquing is constructive in most cases if it's warranted but it seems that to critique for perfection is asking that everything has to be just..."a little to the right" PERFECT..
The best artistic photographs are not PERFECT in every detail or they wouldn't be the best artistic photographs, WHY?..because the best artistic photos have to inspire, hit a nerve, engage you, not because it is PERFECT but because it's BEAUTIFUL in its own way.This is where the saying, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" came. We all see things from different eyes.I wish some photographers would realize this.
example:
PERFECT, no
Beautiful, yes
