I remember posting in here not too long ago asking for feedback and only had 1 person provide it in the gallery and none in the forum. From a beginners point of view I was asking for critiques, but did not get anything to work on. Does that mean it was a good image and did not need any work on or was it just a pile of ^&%$ that is not worth commenting on? I personally will not be putting any other images forward because I am wasting my time as well. I looked at the mission of the forum and thought that it was well written and encouraging for new users. In reality, this forum is far from it's own mission and as a newbie to photography this has now put me off using the site for people to critique my work. It does cause problems for my future development because, I can I improve if I do not see the problems that established members of the forum see?
