I think more encouragement and reminders to contribute to the Critique Corner can be given to everyone here. I don't believe we only know how to shoot but don't know how to critique. Some links below for guidance.

Some people I understand prefer to be humble, tend to think their opinions matter little or not at all, or are afraid to be misunderstood.... well don't be. I am quite active in that forum, may be the only forum I'm active in. I'm not a know-it-all or trying to act like one but I continue to practise because it's healthy mental exercise and it's my way of giving back to the community.
One doesn't need to be an expert in a genre to give comments. I feel as long as your words are clear and carefully thought out, as what you write are your true opinions you should not worry too much. All adults here, and if anyone takes your words unkindly then just let it go, art is subjective and often are the feelings that go with it.
I hope it can be implemented that members who post their photograph for critique can be encouraged to do a C&C on someone else's image as well. Too many of them disappear after their first and only post... it'll be good if they can learn to contribute as a continuation of their photography learning.
Anyway, I feel we can be more daring and active in the Critique Corner. If anyone has reasons why they don't want/like to critique please feel free to talk about it here.
Thanks.
