I'm with Frank to a degree, I don't mind constructive criticism however the "after the fact" comments are what put me off competing in photo club salons. I don't know how often these sorts of compositional comments were made as if the photographer had control of the elements or could have put themselves in a better position than they did (for instance where the shots were obviously happened upon and not at all static). Sometimes it just isn't possible to better the composition and if as the photographer you know this then comments telling you how you should have done it are frustrating to say the least.
