Well, there are two ways of going about critiquing someone's work, 1. Directly brutal, with no thought or willingness to offer alternative methods to achieve the artistic goal 2. Tact, finding something good in the image FIRST, and then offering a direction to take, and/or method of improvement. I fear there is no common ground on comments in the gallery, and always suggest posting an image to the forum of the particular software, to first get critiques AND help on improvement, before posting to the gallery...and it is true the galleries are for visual arts, and writing sentiments across the face does not consititute an 'excellent' on the underlying artwork if it is not up to that quality. There's been enough said on the hot20 to fill a tome the size of Texas so just ignore it...
