Sharing ideas and concepts is the best way for people to learn and you have been very generous in offering information/knowledge to an unknown public. This is to be highly commended. With grateful thanks and hoping I can continue to improve my portraiture - keep up the good work. Hi Eric

I don’t wish to comment on the work you have posted here as I think it speaks for itself but rather on what you have written. Sharing ideas and concepts is the best way for people to learn and you have been very generous in offering information/knowledge to an unknown public. This is to be highly commended.

With grateful thanks and hoping I can continue to improve my portraiture - keep up the good work.

A lot of people have had negative things to say about my photos, particularly on Digg, and via anonymous emails.<br/><br/>It seems people go out of their way to tell me things like, "if you have any real clients, you're ripping them off. crawl back under your rock and die" That's an actual email quote. It's burned into my brain. Thanks for addressing the negative criticism, Jeremy. A lot of people have had negative things to say about my photos, particularly on Digg, and via anonymous emails.

Interesting comments as well. I always find it funny to read the critics of photos when the shots be critiqued are just great, but are being slammed for subjective preferences. Photographic art is in the eye of beholder, as with any art. I enjoyed your straightforward coverage of important points to remember when tackling a photographic opportunity. Great piece.

The lighting in all these photos is too harsh a dosn't permit the viewers eyes to fall on any focal point of the photographers choosing, for example the first photo only shows off the negative aspects of the models skin and the last image would have been more dynamic if the lighting had focused ours eyes on her beautiful hands and led us up to her face, I didn't know what to look at first.

With over 750 Diggs, a front-page Digg feature, and about 100 new flickr favorites, I'm happy to say that your opinion, while seemingly popular judging by the Digg comments, is in the very small minority. Korben,
