>>3398972>You mean constructive crit?Nope! I mean irrationally attacking.
First attack was bitching that he posted the same pic multiple times on Instagram, which was entirely unrelated to this thread. Second attack was calling his photos derivative, which (a) is not really that constructive since it doesn’t give any suggestions for how he could improve without getting mauled by a polar bear and (b) is barely (BEARLy? HAHAHAH) criticism. It’s saying that his photos of an animal that most of us have never seen outside of a zoo look similar to other photos of that animal taken outside of a zoo. They’re definitely NOT, as one poster said, exactly the same shots you’d get IN a zoo, which is obvious to anyone who’s actually tried to photograph a polar bear in a zoo. And the assertion that they’re basically the pigeons of the north seems a little unlikely to me, but if that guy really lived somewhere that polar bears were as common as idiots on /p/, I would invite him to post some of his polar bear snapshots in his own thread—surely if they were that common and if the Op’s shots are that run of the mill, he must have taken a few polar bear pics that are as good or better.
And even in the face of that, he really didn’t get belligerent. He told one anon that he was acting like a child when he totally was, and mostly just responded to the trolling with “okay, thanks for your input”. A lot of the posts in here that you’re attributing to him are other people like me who are defending him because he did nothing wrong other than having the gall to post an interesting photo thread on what is ostensibly a board for photographers to share their work.
