[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 226387, member: 1061"] The biggest problems with the critique and feedback forum are: 1) As already stated, most of the thread creators don't read the rules when posting their photo. You're supposed to offer up the EXIF data and a brief description. Most people just upload a photo of their cat and wonder why no one responds. 2) Generally, most who are offering up a photo for feedback and critique are actually looking for affirmation. They're looking for "good job", "looks great", and "I like that" and not any meaningful tips on how to improve. This puts everyone at odds. You don't know if you should offer up an honest opinion and risk hurting someone's feelings. 3) The 12 point...what? That system certainly has it's place, but this community is by and large hobbyists and amateurs. There's really no value in the 12 point system here. [/QUOTE]
