You really shouldn't have to teach etiquette at any time, 'Chelle. Their Mommies should have handled that along with other training. The link goes to our resource center, where Alpha wrote a nice tutorial on how to give a meaningful critique. Most of the time when I see work here that I think is "bad," I ignore it. Sometimes I suggest that the photographer go over to the Forum, and post the picture with questions about how to make it better. Sometimes I'll say things like, "The sky here is pretty dominant and washed out, maybe you should try a different angle, or check out the very useful tutorial in the Resource center on polarizers." Or, "The water is a bit over-exposed here, in situations like this it is best to meter..." If the work is indeed boring, there is not much I can do. Though I'm often very surprized about what bores or excites different people. I'm sorry the original poster is angry about something and no longer wishes to participate. But I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. Insulting Gallery members is, I believe, a violation of the TOS. It is certainly not good manners. And it is a very bad idea to piss off our hard-working Michelle and star.
