I am only saying this because we perhaps all need to consider that when we post a picture for critique we shouldn't be saying too much about it or else there is not much point. If we tell everyone what we already know, e.g. 'This is a bit out of focus and the lighting is flat but tell me what you think...', there is not a great deal left to warrant putting it in the Critique section.

Hi Rob

Time for me to respectfully disagree.

There are really two elements to a critique.

Technical

Emotional

Both are important, but as I have said here frequently, we tend to discuss ad infinitum the technical aspects and gloss over the emotional impact of an image, which of course is critically important.

So when posting that "I know the image is not sharp but what do you think" (as unfortunely I often do) that opens up other lines for thinking critically and for discussion.
