this doesn'tlook like a real scene or person, is that allowed?

What? Tom Hanks posed for you? Do you think you can give me his phone number?

the quality of this picture is not very good, tons of harsh shadows from the flash and no high resolution.

I disagree... The flash does add a few shadows, but they are not harsh on the eye in this case. There is a better way to critique someone's photo without just slamming it. Have you ever heard of the sandwich technique? Say something nice, then give positive criticism, then say something uplifting about the photo again.

Photography doesn't always have to be snobby... it can be fun too... At least that is why I photograph things... to have fun and enjoy others photography as well, even if I can point out a few flaws.

sorry you feel that way. This is supposed to be a professional looking phtograph for one (per theme description) and two, the composition, the lighting, and the size can all be improved so much more. If anything, try taking it into a paint program and use "curves" and possibly a slight bit of saturation. Sorry if I sounded rude, but I don't have tons of time to sit here and write perfectly so that my comments don't look rude. Usually if I say something, it is because I really like a photo, or I feel the photo can be fixed and turn out nice or just trying to help someone out so that they can do better next time. So, again...the flash made harsh shadows in this that do not flatter the photo and has also made it look flat, the photo is very small (and in high resolution now it is still small) and also I believe you could have moved to your left just a tad when taking this photo so that the subject would be in 1/3 of the photo instead of centered and the bush wouldn't have looked like it was falling on his shoulder. I'm no expert or professional, so you can take my advice or learn on your own here.
