I try to comment on things that do move me in one way or another. I have also left small remarks about shadows or lighting (not very often) but I so try to suggest a change and then back it up with the fact that the piece itself is still very good or good or whatever...does that make sense? Someone once told me a forumla for critiqing..I think it was two parts good and one part critical or something like that. For every part that you do critique, let the artist know of at least two points that you find interesting or good. But you are so right ryuslilangel, there is a huge difference between suggestions and the trolling that I have seen lately on some images. Pendy
