The photo's OK, but you don't have enough terms and conditions in your

Huh???

I am assuming you were just trying to be funny and the humor was lost in
the mail. Please let me know if I am wrong and you are actually trying
to communicate something...

I am trying to communicate that you should put more time into photo
composition than you do into dictating the terms of what you feel to
be acceptable in the way of a critique.

You have a run-of-the-mill vacation photo that is poorly composed.
It's not a bad picture, but it's not a "Wow!" picture either. If it's
the best of 500 taken, you need to take 1,000 next time out.

If you are interesting in learning, then learn not to add paragraphs
like:

"If you just want to say it is terrible or boring, don't bother
wasting the bandwidth. I am interested in learning, not in hearing
some snot nosed kid who claims to be 50+ bragging how smart he is
(drop dead UC -- you are on my killfile anyway)"

Post your image and be prepared to be complimented or to be criticized
and take either with equanimity.
