You know, once upon a time, I used to wonder how people found the time to do all the "things" involved in posering (browsing the galleries, reading the forums, shopping, learning new skills, trying to hone the skills they have, the constant search for free stuff, actually gasp creating an image) and actually have a life as well...  and I decided it must be because they had high-speed internet connections.

Well, I have high speed internet now, and I'm still wondering...

I like the critique group, I see a real need for it and I think it's really helping people. It has helped me. But I also assumed, perhaps in error, that as the group grew, there would be sufficient participants to critique everyone's image. That it would not be necessary to critique every image that was uploaded by a member of the group.

All of which is to say that I know I've fallen off. But I feel as if perhaps the spirit of the venture had drifted. My understanding was that this was formed of people willing to give their honest opinion on what they saw in each others work... and that is not the same as saying you will critique (criticize) every image that's uploaded by a member of the group. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but everyone is not necessarily qualified to critique.

So, when faced with an image that I actually, honestly like, I'm not supposed to say that, I'm supposed to find something wrong with it, something to critique, because nothing, after all, is perfect. If I like it, I have to quantify why I like it or else, heaven forfend we may end up like the group that the critique group was formed as a reaction against.

So, just sign me,
