I love flowers. I know some people don't. But the endless variety and beauty not to speak of the colors and color schemes speak volumes of the one who created them.

 I love #1 and #5 is quite intriguing.

Constructive: All would make fine backgrounds for some other shots. "Due to many numerous reasons", as funny as that statement is in itself, followed by "I have very little time to photograph.", would make one wonder why you have so much time to post and why you'd post fuzzy blurs of "flowers". 

" you guys will just have to suffer", "Thanks for looking and bearing through this.", tells us that you knew exactly what you were putting us through. Why? Do you feel an overwhelming need to post, something, anything? 

#1 at least was a picture of something. It was dark though and DOF was too short. Had I taken any of those they would have been in the bin post haste.  

 No one expects you to post every picture you take. 

And now I've been robbed of yet another ten minutes of my precious time. 

People: Is it a good idea to encourage this nonsense? This girl is brutal in her "critiques" of others' work. When we say anything constructive or critical of her "work" she's extremely defensive, more excuses than most could ever conjure.

I like the texture on number 3.

P.S.

In my case and opinion; Criticism is most likely believable and taken cheerfully by myself as long as the authority isn't hiding behind false names/identities.  

I enjoy flower photographs. Do you have any? 

My time is precious and I choose to spend some of it here. I have even enjoyed a number of your stories. But of late, you are so full of yourself and your work is so lacking, I have to wonder if there's something else not going on in your life that you insist on posting stories you yourself know are inadequate, sub par. You're off your game. You know it and I'm pointing it out. Were you in my employ I'd offer you a vacation. If you didn't take it I'd hand you your walking papers.  

You're not qualified to teach university art classes, get over yourself. You hear but you don't listen. You are too defensive. When asked about shooting information, you guess. I can guess. When I say a shot is dark, you say it's because you don't have editing software or because it was overcast or, or, and or. Excuses. You're posting volumes. People want quality, not quantity. 

This is a word from the wise, not to the wise.

Lori: You're several  levels above. The foul mouthed kid could learn a lot from you.

Just my opinion. [And this isn't a false name or identity, it's anonymous.] 

You're not qualified to teach university art classes, get over yourself.
Never said I was.  I just said that if you think my critiques are harsh, try going to a university art class.  I'm peaches and cream compared to them.

If you say I'm off my game, maybe I am.  I'm asking for critiques here, but I appreciate them from people who have the decency to have a username to go by.  Most of us here know each other.  Not in the sense of face-to-face but on the site.  We know who we are, what kind of personality each other has, what's going on in each other's lives hardships and happy times.  It's a family here and when you insist on being an anonymous user ,then you're an outsider and most are going to treat you as that.  Especially since about 3 months back we did have a wise a$$ (as Kitzi says) that terrorized our "family." 
Many talented photographers left because of it and other reasons.  All of which I appreciated every bit of critique and advice they gave me and looked up to them as an example to follow.  I learned a lot from them in the year and a half I've been here.  I wouldn't be anywhere at near the level (whatever level it might be) had it not been for them.  They taught me a lot and you can ask a few who were here when I first joined, my ego is no where as big as it was when I first logged on to this site. 

I've been humbled by critiques.  But you didn't critique the work at first.  You made a snide commented and I made one back.  I retorted mostly because you're an AU.  I probably would have asked any user to elaborate.  And if you notice... I haven't made a single excuse for any of the photos above.  I took them and I posted them.  I've taken offense with you today because you're taking this past just the photograph.  You're taking your precious time to insult me.
I guess at a lot of stuff because I don't have the information in front of me to refer to (I'll stop from now on. If I can't remember, I can't remember.  Who cares about conversation anyway, right?).  I can remember the day's conditions and what lens I was using, but specifics such as ISO, Shutterspeed and f-stop are not things you always remember after firing the shutter.  And I can estimate or guess what they probably were based on the day's conditions and how I normally shoot the subject presented in the story. 

I don't dislike her work. I couldn't care less about her personality. Her "center-stage" mentality screaming for attention, is getting it. I'm giving her her crack, basically.

EMF sweetie, I have to agree to some extent with your stalker.  It's well known that I can't stand damn flower photos--most of them are the same thing, over and over, with precious little thought or creativity.  I'm also not fond of most abstracts--too often they're an excuse to take a fuzzy picture and call it art.  So, obviously, you've hit two of my personal prejudices. 

I can't get really thrilled about these because the focus is random, not deliberate, and the composition is rather aimless. 

When people shoot a flower and make me see it in a new way or an abstract and make me see shapes that are pleasing and creative, I can get interested.

By the way, the discussion of ISO was confusing.  ISO isn't the same as shutter speed and it sounded like you had the two interchanged.  I may have read that incorrectly.

Geez.  When will I learn to walk away from a fight?  And I didn't even start this one!

I love a man who uses few words but uses them well.  ;)

And the reason I've stepped away from PH is not because of Anonymous Users.  Sometimes they're right, sometimes they're wrong, always they just ain't too brave.  One of the reasons I don't enjoy PH as much now is because everyone falls down with their knickers in a twist trying to "get even" with them.  Try deep cleansing breaths.  Much more beneficial.
