"Guideline Manifesto" in PhotoNet Site Help Posted February 26, 2003 Where should I start Tobias? I have only been on this site for a week and already your arrogance cancels any comments you might make about an image. Critique is done within a community of artists, beginners or advanced, and a level of respect is needed for a comment to be taken to heart. When an artist posts an image, they are looking for feedback, good or bad, and both are to improve their skills and eye...not to be ransacked by a would be art director/ photo editor, and then violated by re-working it without permission or interest by the photographer. I agree with some of the suggestions, but many people are just interested in a comment about the image's composition, subject, etc., not the resolution or compression...however, i am confident there are some that are interested on that level and they are welcome to spend the extra time to follow all of your requirements. If you want to require it, start your own site and see how many want to read your banter and arrogant remarks. I respect your ideas and your eye, you are right sometimes with some of your comments, but learn some damn manners and respect for other artists and realize you are on a pedistol as high as the chair in front of the computer. Pros make mistakes, beginners just make more and need a community to help, not humiliate. You said you were educated...obvioiusly you slept in for the class on etiquette and behavior. May i suggest you digress and take a photo 1 class at a community college to learn how to properly critique.
