When I posted an image recently, I openly asked for critique. I got it. All of it was offered in a mature and helpful manner. I agreed with most of the comments. They helped me to see the images as others did. So did fixing my monitor, grrrr. :-) Really, if you want helpful critique, just ask for it in the comments area when you post your image. If you're looking for opinions on specific areas, be they posing, lighting, compo, whatever, go ahead and specify. Trust me, it's very likely that you'll get the feedback you're looking for. As regards commenting on other images, I suggest trying to say something more substantial than "oh, wow, this is great honey, kisses and hugz! bye bye!" Chances are people will appreciate it. If you get nasty IMs or are called a "troll" for offering honest comments intended to help, then the heck with 'em. The bad apples don't spoil the whole bunch. If you're sick of NVITWAS, don't view those images. I've got to say, though, even though that sort of image is the most tired cliche of Poser-rendered art, some people are truly good at it. I can at least admire their technical proficiency even if they don't score points for originality. Doing cheescake images truly helped me to learn Poser and develop better rendering skills. I don't take those images too seriously, but I'm not embarassed that I made them. I find myself tempted to do the same simple, meaningless, but fun images again, now that I'm hitting the Poser 5 learning curve. I learned a lot about playing with lighting nodes last night by illuminating Naked Vicky. Next maybe I'll try to create my own metal procedurals for her sword. :-)
