Wonderful Creation- I tip my antler to you in thanx for bringing up this comment. I totally agree with what you say and ask many members here that this is also my pet peeve about this so-called "gallery." I use the "so-called" there because it's starting to turn into more of a snapshot sharing service. I agreee- many photos are just mediocre but get that "wow" or even worse yet- a VOTE! The so-called critiques often comment on the subject matter rather than the photo (ie-"cute cat"). One thing that you will also notice on here that it's the same circle/clique of people doing this. And God Forbid if anything negative but constructive is said about an image (yes- I have received hate e-mails & IM's blasting me because I made a suggestion to improve the image). Maybe the moderators should work something up about the critiques here- oh wait- Ive seen that some actually paticipate in the reciprocity.
