Criticising/pointing out 'faults' in photos...

[PapaFrita]

Blimey I'm on a roll today...

OK, I'm sure we've aaall seen photos of people riding in less-than-perfect style, and people riding without hats, and perhaps strong bits, etc....
BUT when would you comment on these things?

 

[RachelB]

I'd only comment if it was asked for, or if other people had already and I strongly agreed with them. I'm too much of a wuss to say too much! I don't want any arguments.
I'm sure people have been unfair at times, but then we're all human and have our own opinions and ways of expressing those opinions, some people hold back and some people clearly don't!

interesting that so far 10 people would offer constructive critisism on general issues but only 6 on welfare issues??

 

[PapaFrita]

Weeeelll, if you count the 2 who would really let rip on welfare issues, then it goes up to 8

Ok I put:
I'll comment if an opinion is asked for and I'll be as constructive as possible
I'll comment on something I consider to be a welfare issue and try to be constructive
I try to be fair at all times
I think some people DO pick on other people unfairly

and I probably tend to be more critical of / find more fault with someone I don't like, but i try to keep my thoughts to myself!

Normally I would only make critical comments if they are specifically asked for, and even then I would make them constructive. BUT if there was a photo where no criticism was requested but there was a serious welfare problem apparent (ie field full of ragwort, barbed wire about to take a foal's eye out etc) then I probably would comment.

i don't generally comment as I don't think its any of my business!!!!!!!!!!

 

[spider]

I'll comment if an opinion is asked for, but sometimes I wouldn't say anything in case I got shot down by other forum members.

 

[lisaward]

oooo i've posted photos today have i done anything wrong ????????
please don't criticise me i'm useless at photography i already know.

 

[PapaFrita]

Nothing wrong at all with posting photos!! BUT some people IMO come in for an unfair amount of criticism.

 

[Irish_horse]

I generally only comment to tell people their horses are gorgeous

i don't believe im knowledgeable enough to tell people 'how to ride better', im not in any way qualified, i have my own opinions yes but for the most part i keep them to myself..

 

[Honeyb060674]

Everybody is entitled to an opinion, but I would only give mine if asked, and would try to be constructive. Welfare issues are always a tough one if its ignorance rather than deliberate cruelty. What I don't like about this forum is the way some people jump down one anothers throats usually leading what should be a discussion, into a slanging match ~Hops Off Soapbox!~

 

[Kelly1982]

I dont ever comment!!!

We all had to start somewhere and if people ask for comments then there are a lot more knowledgable people on here than me to give advice.

I never comment on no hats or strongs bits etc either as that is the persons choice and up to them and there could be a perfectly good reason behind it.

 

[casey2312]

I do think some people unfairly criticise. Whether they are asked for it, or not.

 

[sojeph]

I'll comment if asked and defo if its a welfare issue. I'd never put a picture up on here and then be surprised if people were to comment-everyones entitled to that-good or bad although I don't agree with the slatings that some people get-thats just unecessary.
