We're supposed to post photos?
I'll have a think about it and if I can come up with some workable ideas I'll let you kick them around.

I also think that some people are intimidated (like me) because they feel very amateurish compared to many of the "giants" here. Its hard to critique someone that has their own photography business, etc etc, when you've only been "doing" this for 6 months and consider yourself a novice. That may be why people just ooh and ahh over some photos.
Could'nt agree more!Big Mike said:I agree that the critique section could use a kick in the pants.
None of us are infants. We all should learn to take criticisms. Those of us who really want to advance will take the comments constructively. Others will eventually clear off from the Crit section.They weren't nice to my photo
-Use the criticism and grow. That is what this forum is all about
I can understand what you are highlighting here but I must beg to differ due to the end result your silence would breed!terri said:When you can tell someone has put a lot of effort into an image and they're not prefacing it with any disclaimer ("How could I have done this or that better?") it almost seems boorish to say anything negative...whatever your thoughts might be.

What if we developed an online form for critiques? One for the photographer, and one for the critiquer?
Photographer:
EXIF data, location, story behind the shot, what trying to accomplish, aspects most concerned about (lighting, focus etc.),
Critiquer:
Maybe some voting scales for lighting, focus, DOF, composition etc. Then a section for comments. Then the form answers could be compiled into a global "rating" etc and the comments could be compiled into a list etc.
Then outside these two sections we could have the standard thread. This way people that are shy about critiquing could do so fairly anonymously with the critique form, but we would still have the section to post in as well.
Just a thought.
