THIS is how you comment and critique photography.

THAT is how you C&C a set of photos!!!!!!

Here is one problem I see with this. Not everyone is as well-versed in photography as someone "in the field." People like the respondent look for things to critique. They look for out of place pixels and how out of contrast a cloud is. I don't. In this, I'm just the average Joe looking at pictures. While I don't care about how crystal clear a photo is, I do like to point out some of the obvious. Like taking a picture of a car, but having the front and rear of it cut off. Or having the dreaded angle shots. Or blurriness.

You posted how to critique a photo from an actual photographers POV, but I believe more of the picture viewers are going to be the average person looking at the pictures. We're not going to care if you move the cloud that's the second one to the right in the background to a smoother texture level.

You see what I mean? Later, QD.

I understand what you mean. I wish we could have a subforum for people who are really interested in the art/fine art aspect rather than the "sweet pics, dawg" crowd. It seemed for a while that anything posted in the whoreslounge (or anywhere else on IA) was just getting redirected here. Let me tell you--- super annoying. I haven't really been back in a while.
