When do you critique a photo?

[Pablo]

I don't post a critique when:
1) I like the photo the way it is
2) Can't think of a way to improve a photo. Better to shut up than say 'your photo is lousy' and not offer any suggestions
3) Ignorant about the subject matter (like animal shots, product shots, etc)

I post a reply when:
1) The photo amazes me
2) When I can say something constructive.

My view also :thumbsup:

an old quote :-

Tis better to keep mouth shut and be thought a fool
than
Open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Side track a bit...
Do the pple here only surf in 1 or a few sub forums, or the whole clubsnap forum as a whole? So does it matter where we post? Of coz need to be in the related sub-forum. Just wondering...

For myself, I don't browse all subforums. Very limited time. Landscape, Macros, Underwater and Nature I visit to admire the photos but not place critique. Know nothing about the fine points.

Candids, Reportage I post or place comments because it's my interest.

Newbies I visit. There are tons of useful info here. From techniques to tips about hardware. Post to welcome folks and sometimes help if I can.

Gatherings, Exhibits and Events for info on what's happenig in the photo world.

Minolta coz I'm a Minolta user.

Darkroom, Medium format, seldom to never.

Buy and Sell. Self explanatory.

Want a comment from me? Post in Candids.
