Does one really learn a lot about how good a photograph is by listening to the critique of people who say things like great shot, beautiful image, wish I could shoot like that or wow what a great portrait but they failed to see that the image was out of focus, poorly lit, the white balance is off by one mile and the pose and lens choice makes the subject look like they weigh 350 pounds? NO! EVERYONE loves "critique" like that because it makes them feel good but does NOTHING to educate them what a REAL good image should look like. Never mind that they will stagnate as an image maker and never ever get any better because they have been told hundreds of times that their images are beautiful, wonderful, great, excellent, or wow what a great shot.
Tell it like it is (if you know what are are talking about) or don't say anything at all.
