The 'Rules' for this Critique Forum

[Darren Rowse]

The point of this forum is that it is a space to help members to improve their photography. As a result I'd love for this section to be a place where users can post an image and get constructive feedback on how it could be improved.

Here are some guidelines:

For Those Wanting Critique:

1. Start a new thread for each critique / comparison request
2. Post 2 images only per thread (ONLY in Comparison Critique)
3. If you put your picture directly in the post, please keep your longest side shorter then 800px
4. Only post if you're willing to be critiqued - this isn't a place for showing off, but a place for people to suggest how you can improve. If you don't think you need to improve then this might not be the section of our forums for you.
5. Be prepared to hear that image might not be perfect in everyone's eyes. This doesn't mean that you need to defend yourself every other post. If you don't like Critique, do NOT post.
6. And for the love of Darren, Have fun!

For those Wanting to Critique Photos:

1. Your job isn't to pick out the problems with others images but to help them improve
2. Be encouraging with your comments
3. Do pick out problems with images but please also include suggestions on what could have been done to overcome them
4. Be friendly and helpful
5. Remember that everyone here is at different levels of experience and skill
