Isn't photography as an art very subjective, shouldn't a photo be the way the photographer wants it to be. would anyone take a painting by one of the masters and change it, telling them it could have been better...
now if the op asks for help or critique, I can see the point.
otherwise I can't imagine telling someone how to make their picture better without understanding what exactly they were trying to accomplish..
in the past week I've seen people being told their pics should be lighter, darker, straighter, cropped differently, to remove foreground objects, which actually is a very good way of framing...and showing depth...
maybe it's just me, and the way I was taught, the course I took was taught by full time working professionals, they would grade photo assignments on audio tape, they never told a student that a picture was bad, or wrong, they would point out good points, then suggest that next time you might want to try _______________. fill in the blank...much more positive way of helping someone..
