Hi,

Well, some months I critique my faves, once in a while I do them all - it depends on my
time and inclination.  I don't think I've done it in a few months, mostly because my
monitor only does b&w, I'm too cheap to buy a new one, and I feel uncomfortable
commenting on colour pics if I can't see the colours! <g>

A few years ago, Chris Brogden, late of this list, organized a little critque group.
Each month, all those who were part of the group were "assigned" a number of photos,
and critiqued them on-list.  It went on for maybe 6 months, and kind of devolved.
People didn't "complete their assignments", and I think it just became too much for
Chris.  All photos were open to criticism unless a specific "no comments please" was on
the photo.

It was fun, but I have to admit, it was hard to comment of photos that I really didn't
like.  I'd always try to find something positive to say to temper my criticism, but
that's not always easy.

I think such a loosely organized critique circle might be fun to start up again
though.  Anyone interested?

cheers,
frank
