Tiari:
Quote - Now, I'm not saying people can't do that, its fun of course, and thats fine. However, it is sort of wasteful to walk on over to critique something that was "thrown together". Do you see what I mean? Maybe something else in the description to note it doesnt require an artistic critique would be helpful.
While you shouldn't feel obligated to critique any piece, those in particular I think you can safely skip with no hard feelings (I often do).
Mr Nancy:
Quote - "I'm particularly pleased with this image" ..."I really like how this image turned out"... et al. These usually imply that the image poster doesn't want anyone to contradict those
statements, meaning there are deficiencies in the image that the poster is hoping the viewing
audience will not mention. and it's definitely the case that the image creator will be more
acutely aware of any problems than will the general audience.
I don't really see anything wrong with that - if something is intended to be a certain way, the poster probably isn't too interested in being told it needs to be changed. I glaze over when people point out to me "the hair is unrealistic" for example.
