In theory, the idea of a critique 'area' (either forum or gallery) is excellent. Unfortunately in reality I don't think it would be utilised by many more people than this forum itself, where we get excellent feedback to our pics - albeit when we post a pic that we think is half-decent and everyone raves how great it is it can be a touch infuriating.... and we've all had it happen!!! Trouble is, education is the key - in the gallery people comment, but they're either totally fawning up to girls because they post pics of themselves, or commenting on how great that lighting is on the pictures of girls/breasts taken by other people. Apart from that it's mainly us (the forum regulars) commenting on peoples pics or people (rightly or wrongly) flaming a bad pic. I don't think a seperate forum or gallery would change this at all, and it would just be an extension of the forum ... but I would like to be proved wrong. (",)
