Yeah always been a problem, and I  do give as honest an opinion on the images I comment on and more often than not always in the image itself.  What is also of interest is that often the very people who make note of this are seldom those who do much commenting, and thus the gallery will be void of much useful real critique.. This in turn must surely have some effect on those who do post images of great quality, and I know from many friends who have left RR thats this is true.

I always have valued comments be they critical or otherwise  esp if as ejn says they are justified, sometimes it may not have been possible to say improve the composition by moving a certain way, but who would know that anyway. Composition and light are not always possible to get them perfect. And whoever it is should always know, that it is never possible to acheive perfection.. The wider you open the window! The more the muck blows in..

A lot of people myself included often share images and get critique from them in that way and is part of the community spirit that makes our gallery good, as well as sharing tips and advice. The forum would be a great placealso if you want advice and critique.
