I have also been soft on constructive criticism lately.  I used to do more, with a gentle approach since unless a glaring technical problem the subjective nature of it all gets in the way.  As with Bobby and some others, I rather use site mail for a crit and try to provide solutions with the crit.

I suppose in the last year I have provided less criticism and opted to simply no comment. That is not fair to the photographer and I shall try to overcome that in a kind way.

I am perfectly capable of making mistakes on my own and realize that.   I also know this is a wonderful learning site when we go for that.
