I have watched the furror over the critiques. Not being honest and just
saying nice things is counter productive. The shooter will keep using the
same poor technique unless someone is honest and tells them that there is a
better way. It is sort of like telling a math student that 2 times 3 is 7
is ok just so you don't hurt the student's feelings.
I realize that there is a knack in telling someone that their picture is
poor without offending them but I also realize that unless they are told
that next month's picture will be no better. If you post and want to grow
your photo skills, then making suggestions to improve is the only way that
you or I will lift outselves out of the amatuer catagory.
Obviously, some of our critiquers need some experience in making comments
BUT our critiques of the critiquers need to be polite and positive comments
for them to improve. Looks like it should be a two-way street. - Old Math
