[QUOTE="STM, post: 162444, member: 12827"] Photo.net is a little (ok, maybe [I]more[/I] than a little) cliquish. I have been on it for about 10 years now. Once people there get used to seeing images of yours, they are more forthcoming with critiques. The rating system can tend to be a popularity contest, unfortunately. If you gave a really scathing (or at least they perceived it as such) critique of their image, then they can give you a 2 or 3 rating on it out of spite, which drags your average down. That is exactly what happened to me on an image I posted a couple of weeks ago. You would think people would be more mature than that, but since they did away with the breakdown of who gave what rating, it remains anonymous. I try to give an in-depth critique of the images as well as an "artist's misconception" of what I am talking about by taking their image and reworking it in PS. The same thing I do here. If the criticism is constructive, and mine always is, then if the photographer is open to other's ideas, it can be a very productive forum. If they are thin skinned, then at least as far as I am concerned, don't post an image for critique. [/QUOTE]
