Just for the records:
I think founding the critique group was a great thing. I want to thank everyone who provided helpfull comments, it helps me a lot. In fact it's the only reason I post pictures here. I really appreciate the time and efford people put here.

That said I see there is much more to comment than I can manage. I only have so much time, and we have a lot of members, and a lot of pictures to see. I did plan to see them all, and comment them all, but the heap grows faster than I can work it up. I have about 200 images on my to-do list, I will see how much I can manage.

That said I must say that I really was impressed my many pictures I have seen. Seeing the pictures and trying to give usefull advice helps me a lot creating my own pictures. I have never really concidered me to be an artist, but seeing the ideas and techniques here makes me want to grow.
