I give very good critiques. I know this because I studied art and had to learn how to give as well as take constructive criticism. A good critique includes what's right about the picture as well as what could be improved, but here at Renderosity, most people get their knickers in an unholy knot if you say ANYthing that even remotely resembles anything other than praise. Even if, for example, there's a table intersecting the figure's leg, if you dare to mention it, you're a "troll", etc. etc. So, like many other people, I don't bother. It's a shame, because the people who DO want constructive input can't get it, but I'd just rather not deal with pain-in-the-arse "artistes" who don't want to improve and can't stand the thought that their latest masterpiece with crap lighting and a prop cutting into the model's body is anything less than utter perfection. bonni
