As the purpose of this page, is to gain feedback on my photography, I ask that you keep these suggestions in mind.
Comment on the photo, not the subject While the subject is the most important part of the photo, essential it is the photo, that isn't always what's to be considered. It may be that you find "X" in the photo boring or unappealing, but that doesn't mean that the photo is bad. Please, don't tell me that you don't like bananas, or whatever, just because I've taken a picture of them.
Leave reason, not just appreciation (or the opposite) I do love to hear of someone's admiration for my work, as does any "artist". However, short one or two-word responses like "cool" or "that sucks" is not a very useful comment, though still much appreciated! Instead, it would be much more helpful if you were to write even a few short words as to why you like or find the photo appealing or dreadful or however it is you see it through your eyes.
Don't be afraid Please, above all else, speak your mind! I know that not everything I do is going to be good, that is why I have decided to collect this feedback. Let me know what you think and why you think it, even if it's negative, especially if it is. Usually, it is obvious if something is clearly good work, but sometimes its not so obvious when its not so good. From time to time I will purposely post bad photos for review, because useful information can always be gained from your mistakes.
