If You Are Interested in Critiques . . .

A note to those pnetters interested in critiques:

<br><br>

Six months ago, a group of us interested in more critiques and discussion of

photos posted on the site tried a one-month experiment. We agreed to comment

on five photos other than our own every time we visited photo.net. We called

our experiment "Five," listing ourselves and our efforts on a discussion page

that can be found <a href=http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?

photo_id=4062848>here</a>.

<br><br>

Although the formal experiment ended, the spirit of Five appears to continue.

The Five page continues to be visited and used (with over 27,000 visits as of

this morning), and about 180 people have added their names to the list.

<br><br>

So, at the six month-anniversary of Five, I leave this note. If you are trying

to find others interested in dialoguing about photos posted on the site, feel

free to have a look and begin commenting on the works of those listed. Their

shared interest in critiquing suggests they would welcome any thoughts you have

and possibly respond in kind on your work.

<br><br>

I am not very active myself on the site these days, but if you have a little

patience I am glad to also add your name to the Five list when I check back

here. Nothing required other than a willingness to share in its spirit. If

you are interested, please review the information at the discussion page and

expressly state that you want your name added to the list, as I certainly don't

want to do so mistakenly.

<br><br>

Thanks, hope it helps.

I've messed up in trying to insert the Five discussion page link above.

<br><br>

Here's the link:

<a href=http://www.photo.net/photo/4062848>Five</a>

<br><br>

Its in my portfolio, and the link address is<br><br>

http://www.photo.net/photo/4062848

<br><br>

Good luck -- remember, it helps to give to receive . . .

. . . critiques that is.

<br><br>

One more clarifying note -- if you want to be added to the Five list, please leave a note at the <a href=http://www.photo.net/photo/4062848>Five</a> discussion page rather than here.

<br><br>

Thanks again.

Amazing, Ben. Has it been six months already? Time really flies. I've met quite a few people through the initiative, and I think it was a good thing. It encouraged me to leave more comments, and I'm still doing that.

 

Nice to see a post from you, by the way.

 

Best Regards,

Thanks Barry, glad its been of help. It looks like the page gets about 100 visits a day. Perhaps some people continue to find it a helpful tool.
