[QUOTE="snaphappy, post: 162182, member: 12198"] I had a look at the 12point system and thought it seemed very familiar. I went back over my pages and pages and pages of notes I took during my photography class I took over the last couple of months. My very 1st class I wrote down the merits for a great image that my instructor went through and it is almost exactly the same (some things in a different order but all the same). My course was almost entirely on portrait and images for competition. The critique section is very clear that it is for those looking for a higher standard in their image and looking for a serious critique. I am a newbie hobbyist (family memory collector) so no I won't be posting in the critique section but I sure do learn alot reading through responses when they don't turn nasty or off topic. I think Whitelight has a great idea here if you must post all info and if you have the 12 points in the reply area it would keep people on track and would make a great learning tool for those looking for real critiques and also for those who aren't ready for a critique but are reading and learning. Having a second critique area for hobbyists where they are looking for more than back pats but are still looking for critique maybe not quite as in depth might also be helpful. I am still very new to this hobby so I struggle with whether I should say anything when I see posts in 365 etc that perhaps could have used fill flash, smaller aperture, have centered subjects etc. I think 365 is mostly getting people to get out and enjoy taking photos and so I "like" photos that have a style I enjoy, subjects I enjoy and mostly its an appreciation However, I know I REALLY appreciate it when someone takes the time to point something out to me because it helps me learn and look more critically at my own work which is much harder than critiquing someone elses work. In this area it would get more people willing to actually point things out that could be worked on for the next image. I was just looking at someones photography portfolio on Facebook (not someone on here) and oh wow beautiful clear pictures, creative way of capturing subjects but dust spots everywhere, everything centered, limbs cut off and landscape cutting subjects off in every photo. Now 2mnths ago I would have thought they were fantastic photos! We don't learn with pats on the back [/QUOTE]
