Does anyone know how one goes about submitting Presentations for

critique? I had put one toghether, but was wondering how to elicit

feedback (good or bad).

I have been using this site only for a short time (since June of this year), but I have quickly realized one strong point - you get what you give. Initially I felt that I wasn't in any way authorized to comment on anyone's work, so I primarily left ratings (although not very much). I did not understand why I wasn't receiving any comments, and I was anxious to learn from my photo mistakes (still am).

 

After becoming a little more comfortable with my photos and ability to provide my view points, I started leaving more comments, and thus received more comments myself.

 

I must admit that it is nice to get a lot of ratings (good or bad), but it is the comments that I appreciate the most (which I receive mostly from those individuals that I comment on).

 

Here's an idea, maybe there should be a section of the Critique Forum page of randomly selected photos (submitted for critique) from any point in time - not just recent, so that photos have a potentional for a little more visibility.

 

I still like this site and what it stands for. I definetely have not outgrown it.

Thanks all for the good feedback. I had planned on subscribing, but I wanted to try out the site first to see if it works for me. So far I like what I see. I have critiqued and rated other photos as well, but I haven't set up any portfolios yet; still experimenting with individual shots.

I think that this site is wonderful, both in concept and in execution.

I am fairly new to photography, so I am by no means an expert. I

primarily use this site as a learning vehicle as I expand my

photography skills.

 

As such, I was wondering if there is a more effective way for me to

elicit more critiques for my submitted photos. If anyone has any

thoughts on this, please share.
