I have read this thread from top to bottom, and several pages of critique threads, both new and old. It is with GREAT reluctance that I comment, but here goes. Has anyone ever seen a critique where all judges say "It's perfect, I have no criticism what-so-ever, great work!" Didn't think so. My point, critiques are really just opinions. True, a lot of work needs work. Most images put up for critique are in real need of criticism and guidance. But in a forum setting, without actual qualified judges, it is just everyone's opinion. And we all know that opinions are like A$$h0le$, everyone has one. So, can any "fix" work on a forum in the critique section? I really have my doubts. I think maybe Chase was correct to consider getting rid of the section. I do commend those who stood up for what they believe in, on both sides of the debate.
OK, off the soapbox. I can now go back to the Nikon vs. Canon wars or out back and work on getting the studio setup. I return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
