That being said, cropping suggestions are the least offensive, and I suppose, the most constructive of those sorts of "you should do it this way". At least they're "do-able" after the fact. And, I have to admit, some cropping suggestions have improved some of my photos.
Same goes for "maybe you should try burning the face a bit", or whatever.
What I really dislike is the "you should have taken it from a different angle" or "I'd have used a different lens", sort of thing. Sorry, too late for that!! The shot is what the shot is. Your suggestion is of no help to me now!
cheers, frank

someone posts a photo, there are a bunch of folks that jump in and say you should have made a different photo. That is a bunch of crap.
I disagree - generally I see people jumping in and saying *they'd* have made a different photo. As far as I'm concerned, I welcome that - if I post a photo and a bunch of experienced photographers tell me how they'd have done it differently, then that's a whole bunch of new things I can try the next time.
