Hello to all,
I think that the critique group sometimes isn´t this what we have thought when we have joyned. I only can say for myself, that I only give a real critique to images from whom I have a knowledge by myself. So for me this are portraits an photoreality as good as possible. I can´t write to those with another kind of artwork "that the figure doesn´t looks real at all" if this artist makes images more like paintings or funny scenes.
If I say or write that there could be something better from my point of view, I also try to give a solution. I´m sure that would the artist know the trick, he or she certainly had done the right.

I remember that in the beginning with poser, I often read "there isn´t a shadow" or "it´s the wrong shadow" but nobody told me, how to do a shadow.......

I also think a special gallery for critique-images would be a great solution. Everybody would see at once that the artist needs some help, ideas and tips to make this image better. And also each member here could post íts image without to be a member of a special group.
