I agree with Rick, and would only add that I learn a lot from the
critiques (short though they may be) offered on others' work, too. I've
always found straightforward comments and suggestions just as
instructive as what passes the photographer's criteria for a legitimate
critique. If someone says, "you might want to tone it down," or "try
relaxing the crop a bit," I can take a look at the image to see what
they're getting at and adjust accordingly.
And, so far at least, no one has offered to give me double my money on
all my gear just to get me to stop taking pictures.

Interesting article, and as others have said I've encountered a lot of similar
advice in other contexts.
The author makes critiquing seem unduly burdensome. You don't have to write a
whole paragraph (or even four sentences, as he suggests) to point out that
there's toilet paper stuck to the subject's shoe. I've learned a lot here from
very short comments, and I learn as much from the positive ones as from the
negative ones.
Cheers,
Rick
