This art thing is what usually stops me from criticizing shots that I don't like, I do comment in every shot that I do like, but when I don't get the shot (talking about PESOs now) my first thought is, well, if the poster sent this to the list he/she thinks is good for some reason, I don't feel I know enough to provide some feedback, which, AFAIK can be completely wrong, and that's the problem with photography clubs I guess.
On this topic, I liked this movie "Art School Confidential" funny look at art from the student POV.
