<p>G'day James,<br>

<a href="../gallery/photocritique/standards/" target="blank">This page</a> will show you the basics of PN's ratings system.<br>

When you go to use the photo critique interface, keep in mind that, if you so wish, you can select your preferred category of images. E.G.: <a href="../gallery/photocritique/index?recent=4&category=Portraits" target="blank">Portraits,</a> <a href="../gallery/photocritique/index?recent=4&category=Flowers" target="blank">Flowers,</a> <a href="../gallery/photocritique/index?recent=4&category=Architecture" target="blank">Architecture</a> and so on... <br>

With regards to posting comments/critiques, don't hesitate to let someone know that you like, or dislike their image(s), but try to explain what in particular appeals to you, or not.<br>

The composition/framing of any given image is just one aspect that you could pay specific attention to.<br>

Above all, make sure to look around the PN Gallery and read other photographer's comments. You'll soon discover, though, that there *is* plenty of "great shot" commentary going on.</p>

<p>No, there is no way to "turn this off".<br>
