I posted the Raining Rainbows image in their critique forum. It will be interesting to see what comments I receive since everyone I got in my gallery here was positive. They have some nice guidelines for critque there, ones perhaps more of us could keep in mind. Here they are if anyone is interested: "Do not expect to receive the specific reason(s) for why your picture was not published. The sole purpose of Critique is to allow you to gather members' opinions; however, the final decision on publication rests with the Crew - and remember, member screening comments are often taken into consideration by the Crew. Only post a picture in Critique if your true desire is to canvass member opinion. The Critique forum is not the place for complaining about a rejection nor is it the place to get the proverbial "pat on the back" for being rejected. Obtaining honest, forthright and constructive opinion should be your only goal to posting a picture in Critique. Correspondingly, providing honest, forthright and constructive opinion should be your only goal as a commentator in Critique. Expect constructive criticism and do not post a picture if you cannot handle criticism. Never post a picture in Critique if you are angry. Wait until you have calmed down. Please remember to acknowledge those who have taken the time to provide you with critique - even a simple "thank you" would be a wonderful sign of appreciation. Members who post comments in Critique are expected to do so in a polite, respectful and constructive manner. Aggressive, insulting comments will not be tolerated. Critique comments should address the perceived strengths and weaknesses of the particular picture and specific reasons should be provided to support your opinion. Generic comments with no explanation, such as, "I like it and voted for it" should never be a part of the Critique forum. The members of 1X come from different backgrounds, cultures and experience. Moreover, english may not be the particular member's native language. Recognize this and understand that language and cultural background may impact the apparent manner in which comments are provided. What may be perceived as harsh or un-complementary may not, and is likely not, the intention of the commentator. The key is to give commentators the "benefit of the doubt" and to ask for clarification. Do not jump to conclusions! Critique is about opinion, more importantly, explained opinion. There is no right or wrong opinion. Constructive and informative discussions on different people's opinion is encouraged and participants in Critique should embrace such discussion. Personal attacks on members because of differing opinions will not be tolerated as comments should focus exclusively on the picture, not the person behind the picture nor the perceived intent of the comment. Comparison with other pictures is only allowed if the comparison is obviously relevant and the point of contention cannot be illustrated in other ways. Comparison of photos belonging to the commentators is not allowed."
