Guidelines for Photo Critique
The Critique Forum is a place to give and receive useful feedback on the images submitted. There are very few places on the Internet where it is possible to receive genuine and useful critique of your images. To make sure Critique stays this way, please take note of the following:
1. Give and Receive
The purpose of Critique is for everyone to gain something - insights into their images from other people, the opportunity to sharpen their own critique skills, the possibility of building a network of friends or colleagues. Like any social situation, this is best done by using your time here to help others. If you just take without giving anything useful in return, you will lose out in the long term.
2. Make sure your Critique is useful
Simple praise ("nice ") or condemnation ("I don't like it") will not help a person to improve their image. Please make sure you use the WHAT, WHY, HOW approach:
a) WHAT you like or dislike about the image
b) WHY you would change it
c) HOW you would make improvements to the image

3. Be polite and courteous
