I like his suggestion of getting work on a restaurant wall and then
observing people's reactions to it. Could be a cringe-worthy exercise!
My mostly random thoughts -
In theory that seems like a good idea, but by that point you've already
picked out the images the viewers will see. Not to mention the cost to mount
and frame and the time involved to sit and take notes.
IMO you have to set a standard for your own work, based on the work of
leaders in that field of photography, eliminate images that don't meet that
standard, keep only your best work and seek as much input as you can get
from any and all. I always ask those viewing my images what stands out to
them when they say they like a image of mine.
My most helpful critiques have been from those photogs whos work I value the
most.
YMMV
