sigh [Thank you VERY much, Pat, for pointing out that some of us like kitties and flowers, and this is a place to learn how to make better photos of them!] One of the points being missed is that all of the comments in the Gallery or in the Forum come from Members. We have no staff of Photography Experts who sit around and write criticism. If someone asks, "I would like unvarnished, honest feedback, " they will get it. If someone asks, " Something about the lighting here bothers me?" they will likely get more helpful detailed answers. Or maybe not. The answers come from those willing to contribute. We have tried more structured critiques in the past. There is even a tutorial in the Resource Area with suggestions how to do this. If the Members want more of anything here, they have to step up and provide it. We must, though, be aware of the different skill levels, and how sometimes an innocent comment can really be blown out of proportion.
