It's crazy how that guy could see all of the things you did in photoshop. While reading I would go back to the pic and see if I could find what he saw. Sometimes I could and other time I failed to see the changes needed.
Also Chad, saying things like " 90% of people that look at my junk" really doesn't make me want to look at any more of your photography, even though I've liked many of the photos you have taken. If you think that the pictures you take are junk then what's the point of you displaying them for me to look at? I would just rather you get better then show me what you can do. But, I do like to see progression towards better pics. I'm not a good photogropher or anything but, the average person can and will notice changes in your style as you get better at what you do. I just don't think that downgrading yourself anywhere makes a case for me to look at your pics or request services. Just my 2. I still like what you do though.
