Ijust don't see how comments such as "nice colour" are going to help a person improve their photography. Damning with faint praise or totally ignoring a picture may say something about what the group thinks about a picture, but isn't going to tell a person much about why the image failed. If you don't know why your pictures don't cut it, then improvement becomes one of blind luck more than skill set improvements. I wonder how one evaluates non feedback in a way that makes it meaningful.
William Robb ============= Condescending. That's a hoot. Maybe there is more to this whole process of showing photos and commenting than you are getting. More than just critiquing. I take exception to an attitude some seem to have that only their opinion about "what is good" is valid. And, frankly, that is exactly the way you come across. Very, very condescending. BTW, feel free to rip into my photos any old time you want. I can handle it. I want whatever feedback people have to offer. I'll take it context with what others say, take it with a grain of salt, and take it in stride with my own opinions about my own photos. I think I've been as blunt and as clear as I can be. Sometimes I feel I have to be really, really blunt, ergo, not polite at all, to say what I mean very, very clearly. So I hope this is clearer.
