About myself:
I am a Dutch man, 35 years old, used to earn my living in the ICT business, unfortunately today my health won't allow me to work anymore. I spend much time sitting behind my computer and if I feel ok I like to go out with my camera. I am an amateur of course, read a lot about photography and experiment a lot with all kinds of photo-related software. I therefore have build up a reasonable theoretical knowledge of photo-related stuff, my practical skills leave much to be desired.

I look for pictures here that tell a story and/or excel in technical quality and/or originality
I hardly ever just hand out thumbs, in either direction. I am not too fond of just the "nice" or "bad" critiques, and I welcome any suggestions on how to improve people might have.

I like to be frank when handing my opinion. Some may think I am blunt, others appreciate my cander. You decide.

I don't hand out very high scores easily. It may be nice to the maker, but I am not here to be just nice. Nor will I often be caught giving two or three thumbs down, since I strongly believe 99.9% of all shots have been put up here with the best intent, at least someone made an effort.

Although it is nice to see some thumbs up for a shot I put up, I hope you only put it up WITH a comment that helps me getting better too. If you don't like a shot, tell me, and tell me why or how you think I might do better next time. That's what I call useful. Be honest. Regardless of what you think of my pictures, I will not let this influence my judgment of yours. Come on, we are grownups !

I hope this site will stay around for a long time! Lastly, please don't stuff comments with "please judge my pictures... ", unless you are pointing to a shot I should watch to understand your critique better.
