Good information. Maybe an idea to take over the general guidlines shown there, completed with the general rules of our competitions and place it as a sticky : I bookmarked the site, immediately It is also very useful for criticizing your own work. Before entering any competition.

It's interesting and contains a lot of good information, but, as with all things on the web, it's only one point of view.
In our competitions I wouldn't want to be so specific as we are doing very well with every winner bringing their own style to the judging.

I am not exactly sure where to put this, competitions or here?
I have just recently signed up to photoSIG, a brilliant imformative and inspiring website.
I came across this link which gives some guidance on critiquing photographs, which is what the site is based on.
I thought it a very helpful guide and could be of help to those judging in our competitions:
macro shot gets 1 or 2 and i have wait 3 days to post another pic. But its all fun i guess.
Also the Lady administrator will let you know in no uncertain terms if you are submitting pics for critique and not pulling your weight by critiquing others
Hey Lilly i will make a pact with you, You critique all my pics and i will return the gesture in kind

Oh I agree totally John, I wouldn't even think about suggesting we should use this as a guide I just thought it was a good prompt for those who were a bit in the dark on critiquing their own work plus others.It's interesting and contains a lot of good information, but, as with all things on the web, it's only one point of view.

However, I do think looking at their work is very inspiring and some of it very high standard and if that motivates me - that's good.
I shall probably just end up visiting for inspiration in the end!
I am totally open to swapping critiques on our work if you are serious, as long as they're not all bugs...
