[QUOTE="grandpaw, post: 162142, member: 8635"] I am in no way arguing with you but it seems that no matter how you look at it each category is worth one point whether you start with zero and add one or start with twelve and taken one away. To me you are saying the same thing as I like it or I don't like it, point or no point! A critique forum is always a hard thing to get going right. I just do not like being told what I will grade on when looking at a picture and having the only option when I decide being to give a point or take one away. I am in total agreement with you that saying something is nice, or I like it, being pretty much wothless without an explanation. I would like to see us be able to comment on any one or all aspects of a picture we would like to but be required to explain why we think what we do. I understand trying to get people to leave helpful information that enables the person posting the picture to learn and grow from comments but to me this is going from one extreme to another. To me you are doing the same thing you are trying to avoid by giving us a choice of giving one point, "I like it" or taking one away, "I don't like it". I will probably just avoid the critique form like I have for the year and some months that I have been here. Good luck with it. You know I am very glad that when I was in school that they gave more grades out than 100's and 0's because I would have never passed if they had! [/QUOTE]
