You point a camera at something and press a button. Wow. Real impressive, asshole. Lol.

Look at the pics at your link. The definition of pretension. Take a pic of your kid sitting in the grass, add some bloom and alter the colors, and act like it's the Sistine Chapel. Nice try, except it comes off more as a Thomas Kinkade. Lol. Trash. Photography is trash.

Wrong.
They look better. They're more vibrant. They bring attention to the beauty of the moment rather than just seeing some washed out pic of some mundane thing.
The alterations correct the washed out images. I would tone it down a little, but they clearly look better than the greyish point and click kind. -

So much stupidity… so much troll… so much "I hate my life and have to criticize others in order to forget about my misery for awhile."
Sucks to be you.
Apparently, stupid people
don't know
they're stupid. -

This is constructive criticism. As someone who is better than others, accompanying my superiority is superior tastes. I'm trying to help you guys. Photography is not art.
Nah. It's exactly everything I said above, creepo.

Which is my point. You don't even have to be a human to take a good picture. Tell your cat to make a panting on the other hand, I bet you it's ****. A monkey took one of the most viral pictures of the last couple years.

First, to take good pictures, you have to get the lighting just right set on the camera based on the time of day outside: Do you want sun to glare? Do you want it softened?
The most important is SYMMETRY. If you're taking a picture of someone in front of a statue, you must factor in their position, as well as the position of the statue in your frame.
I've told people to move "two inches to the left," and while it doesn't seen like much, it makes all the difference in the frame.
Take these examples:- I took this picture through a giant key hole. Notice how there's a relatively equal distance of blocks between on both sides. If the hole was more to one side, it wouldn't be as aesthetic. Where you're standing when taking the pic, and the measurements of distance of objects you're taking matters - it's not just snap and click.
- In order to get this shot, I wanted the cross to be at an angle, with a relatively equal distance of space on both sides. If there were too much sky at the top, it wouldn't look right. In order to get this shot I had to lie on the ground.
- I wanted to emphasize the sun glare's effects on the cross. The focus is the sun, every other object appears the way it does due to the sun's effects. First you have to focus the camera on the sun, otherwise the sun will look blurry. Nor do you want it cut off, but somewhere in the center of the photo.
I am addicted to you; I have tasted your mind, and I cannot forgo its flavor.

Look at all those rules you just described. That isn't an art. Art doesn't have rules. If can put someone else in that exact same position, at the exact same time of day, they will take the exact same picture. You just described a craft.
