I don't like running water pictures taken at a slow speed. The water looks like a can of spilled milk. I like to see water that is crisp, bright, sparkling, the way it looks in real life. Sorry. That's a pet peeve of mine.

That's a pet peeve of mine. Berie YES ! TOTALLY ! I AGREE ! I like to see the individual droplets and splashes caught in mid-air; none of those "spilled milk" water-falls for me. Of course, around where I live, there is so much farming and hardwood timber that, once anything gets to be more than shoe-top deep, it is either green or muddy brown. |

I agree. I think a more realistic look is more dramatic.

Pet Peeve #1 - Being told, "You must have a really good camera" when I spent considerable effort getting a great shot knowing how to use my camera.
Pet Peeve #2 - Turning a bad photo into something great using PSE then being told that all I did was click and Photoshop did the rest.

My current pet peeve is... computer stuff. I changed my computer, went from Windows Vista to Windows 10, Elements 10 to Elements 14, and bought Lightroom. Since then, I spent a lot of time trying to make my way through multiple and inevitable learning curves and solving numerous technical problems and issues. As a matter of fact, I spent more time doing that, rather than focussing on photography and photo editing. It becomes frustrating when the means seem to take over the end.
To be fair, though, I must acknowledge that making an image with 0s and 1s is not per se an evident task. It can only be accomplished through a relatively complex process. So it was when photography was solely relying on the use of chemicals.
The given example of Ansel Adams is to be remembered.
