I've always maintained a "i'll say what i see" policy when viewing photos here.  I'm sure many people here may have received such from me although i apologise for being rather inactive over the past few months or so...

The thing is that there are a fair few people who are here for the "community" aspect of photography and they couldnt really care less if a central composition would have been better shot if the camera was pointed slightly to the left, or something similar... so sometimes i find it difficult to judge if a person asks for feedback and really wants it or is really asking for an ego rub...

Give me (and others who want constructive feedback) hell is all i can say - as long as you can "defend" your reasons then that is fine...

PS - i tried the "i only want critique" option for a while but it doesnt change much as most people dont use it so commenters arent used to seeing the difference in the comment box... a change maybe? instead of a white background for the box a coloured one for "critique resuested" or something?

"In every colour, there's the light.
In every stone sleeps a crystal.
Remember the Shaman, when he used to say:
Man is the dream of the Dolphin"
