[QUOTE="Scott Murray, post: 226262, member: 9753"] I agree that alot of photos aren't being critiqued and honestly if I had the knowledge and know how and then the ability to put it into words then I would critique. As far as I am concerned I am a hobbyist and should not be critiquing anything, but I also know what I like but the issue there is others may not like my perspective or point of view. I do not really care if someone gets offended if I offer an opinion but I like to be able to offer an educated one. I feel that the ones that have posted a photo with no "intent' stated then that is open slather and we can pick that to death, as what I am thinking is they have shot a photo and its turned out good and looks good, why? or how? they probably do not know so critique is not always about the bad things in the photo but also the positives. I guess we need to be more open in critiquing and know that the people that place a photo in that section EXPECT to be torn to shreds. So no playing nice guy, say it how it is and be done with it. I am personally going to try and be pro-active and critique anyones photo regardless of skill level as i may see something that others do not. [/QUOTE]
