Fellow photographers and members,

Constructive criticism is one hard skill to obtain and it's not a bad criticism nor destructive criticism and should be carefully constructed. Let's face it, everyone has their own opinions, personal taste and how things should be done and it should not be consider as the make-up of a constructive criticism. 

Generally a constructive criticism should address an area of improvement and not individual personal taste, may be a valid positive or negative feedback and should be unbiased comments or feedback. It's not about patting someone's back unless you really do like someone's post then it's valid to give them a pat on the back.

Photography is an art to some, a hobby, a business and many other variants and it's really not a one way method of input and output. Some examples are, some might like HDR's and some don't, some might like to manipulate their photographs into more like a painting and some don't, some like to record a memory while some might like to be technical or even to the point of surgical and yet some don't, I think you get the drift already.

This site is made up of many different levels of talent, so we urge you to please respect individuals so that the individual has a chance to learn something new or teach others of their skills.
