THIS WORKS VERY WELL OVER AT I STOCK PHOTO AND KEEPS A LOT OF PEOPLE BUSY i do wish people wouldn't make assumptions which imply i may not be aware of the obvious, like suggesting that i may think this is more a photo club than an agency. i may be new here but im actually less green may think THANKS Edited November 16, 2014 by qaz 2 7 Link to post Share on other sites
Reimar 412 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 No need to shout - it's easy. Go to your Alamy image and copy location. Come back here and click the image icon in the text header and paste. Like this: If it's an image not here, again just copy the URL location info and paste the jpg. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
AndyMelbourne 116 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 In that case then NO........I wrote no very slowly and in capital letters so it makes it easier to understand. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Your experience isn't exactly visible on your forehead! Cheers, Philippe as i find what u said mildly ....well, whatever, so i don't feel much like being friendlier about the matter. and true i said nothing about my experience but that shouldn't be anyone's cue to make assumptions. lets leave it at that, no hard feelings. and from one post above it does seem only to be for portfolios, i didn't write it!

spacecadet 3,792 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 OP, the usual bitchy and personal chatroom stuff doesn't go down well here, because winding up people whose help one wants doesn't encourage them to respond. 9 Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post AndyMelbourne 116 Posted November 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2014 No, there is not a forum here dedicated to photo critique. When you settle down you will realise that this forum is absolutely packed with members who are more than willing to share their vast knowledge and experience with other members that are, in the main, their own competition. With this in mind it is worth taking this into consideration when asking for help on issues that are related to your future in stock photography. You will encounter people that are new to the trade and you will encounter people that have been professional photographers for many decades who make a good living from stock, as you will amateur photographers who intend to make a bit of beer money. Despite the variety of knowledge and experience on here you will find that by far the vast majority of users are extremely helpful and portray a level of civility that you would not usually find on any other forum (well, not to my knowledge). Now, I suggest you take a big breath and start again and you will find this forum is jam packed with some very nice people. Did you ever hear what happened to the blind man who kept kicking his dog. Well, he only got half way across the road and no longer needs his dog. Now let's play nicely. Andy 10 Link to post Share on other sites
qaz 9 Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 so far people here seem to have BIG problem with people who are straight talking and to the point...im not about ice the cake with all sorts of sugary crap just to appease a few [not all by any means] who want to indulge in child like behavior.....guess thats why u hang out on forums hey!, to be with others of ur kind if u see my posts elsewhere on alamy u know what to do don't you 2 12 Link to post Share on other sites
Solution mickfly 487 Posted November 16, 2014 Solution Share Posted November 16, 2014 Qaz, would you like a particular photo critiquing?There were instructions given above on how to post the image here. Would you only like 'constructive' criticism? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

dustydingo 873 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) Come later today (for a minute there I thought this was the weekend . . . ), I hope Alamy don't delete this thread . . . just closing it will suffice, allowing us a handy reminder of certain . . . things . . . dd Edited November 17, 2014 by dustydingo 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Rooney 3,631 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Come on, qaz. Your real intention here is to see how many red tickets you can collect before Alamy closes this post, right. Sorry, but I don't give red tickets . . . or critiques on portfolios. (Would 9 images be considered a portfolio or a pamphlet?) 5 Link to post Share on other sites
