It is your right to disagree Lynne, however we will have to agree to differ on this one. Nobody is trying to force anyone to do anything. Through personal experience it can be very disheartening to spend the time to post a picture explaining what the vision and settings were, maybe what you like/dislike about it and maybe ask for specific feedback, only to receive none. If this happens repeatedly then you stop posting, then stop visting and so forth. All we are trying to do is maybe encourage people to put their head above the parapet and be specific, also to encourage people to say why they like a shot, rather than just smply saying "nice". I for one do not add crit to receive thanks or likes, but hopefully to help others.
You misunderdstand Chris, I am not saying you or anybody else offering to help is being forced to do it. I am saying that you cannot force those that do not want to bother themselves to give C&C, whether they see others doing it or not. And since being a member on here for 6 yrs I have seen and been involved with this topic of crit umpteen times, and all the valid points you mention have been discussed hundreds of times. Yes it would be ideal if a lot more gave a bit more in depth critique, it would be great if more people explained about their picture when they post it up, it would be great if after being given some advice the OP would acknowledge it, it would be great if you pointed something out that the OP did not take offence, it would be great if everytime you gave your opinion about something and tried to discuss it with follow up posts that people don`t think you are just trying to cause a Fk`ng arguement. But the reality of it all is, none of that is ever going to happen.
