Sometimes I wonder how many more photo sites I can possibly add to my bookmark list! I’ve been cruising this one lately pegged as Picture Social: The Network for Photographers. One of their groups is called Photo Criticism. Here is how the group’s leader, Richard S., explains the rules:
“This group is for negative feedback on photos or things that could be improved only. People tend to only comment on photos when they have something nice to say, but this group is designed to go against that trend so you as a photographer can find out what is wrong with your technique. So please don’t be afraid to contribute a negative comment in this group on someone else’s work.”
As far as I can tell, most critiquing is done politely and constructively despite the green light to hammer away at any downright terrible photos. There are pros and cons to soliciting advice from strangers (who you’ll soon add as friends so maybe my point is moot). Sometimes receiving too much feedback makes your head spin, causing the wheels to fly off of your creative process and vision. Still, I love looking at all types of images and throwing in my seven cents here and there. Will you be brave enough to put your photos up on the chopping lightbox?
