Success! The current queue is empty due to the hard work of Critique Club members like yourself!

Try back soon!

If you're up for it, you can take a stab at one of the ~58,056 older requests that were never fulfilled.

So, whilst there will be a few more in the queue come Wednesday can we get this down to 57 thousand and something by the weekend?

I know

JulietNN has been slacking over the last couple of days with just 93 critiques this past fortnight ;)

ooh, looks like we were really slacking as I'm delving into the archives and just got my second critique from the life and death challenge!

I'm confused, during the last month I'm pretty sure every critique request has been done but the total is going up??

If you're up for it, you can take a stab at one of the ~58,098 older requests that were never fulfilled.

I don't know, I just got one from the square and circle challenge. I am sure that lot was cleared

urg just did a couple more and it seems that there may be a glitch as it now reads 58,102 not commented on.

This is what I sent:

I\'m curious about the critique club. I\'d like to join, but I'm not sure I have the qualifications. I'm self taught, and the things I know--I know well. But there is so much I don't know especially in processing. I also can't see things like aliasing. eyes can't pick that up very easily.

Are you desperate enough that you can use someone as inexperienced as myself? Or is there a mentor program for critiquing? (I create the critique, send it to my mentor who says "you really should have mentioned this", I correct it and send it out...)

And then, what I should have asked first is: What do you have to do? Do you have a certain number you need to do per week. Do you have more info?

I think you're over-thinking things :) All you have to do is apply whatever knowledge and reaction you have in order to possibly give the photographer something to think about and consider. There's no such thing as doing it 'right'. Everyone is going to see a work differently. Where one person will say, "I don't think the out of focus element works here", another will say, "I absolutely love the out of focus element here."

All that is expected of you is to bring your own unique vision and understanding to a photo. There is no criteria for that.

Wendy, there are over 300 members but most have left/stopped critiquing. There is no minimum requirent in fact the top 10 critiquers in the past 2 weeks is shown and is often just 2 or 3 (

Julietnn is on another planet with around 70 this past 2 weeks).

To try and focus myself I use the below as headers, it helps me keep on track..

Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club

Subject:

Final thoughts:

I also send an email to the submitter telling them I've given a critique and happy to discuss further. If they are brand new members I've started explaining that whilst its a club the critiques are from individuals.

Personally I find I learn more from doing a critique than the photographer does. If you want to try doing one and asking a couple of folks for feedback then I'm sure we will help (via pm) or you could go critique a couple of my shots ;) If your not technically minded then you just need to say that however the powers that be will vet your critiques on the QT.

This is my second spell here, the first time I was quite new and only critiqued 6 of the 11 offered because I didn't like the images, this time I'm critiquing 100% :)

I'll give it a shot--(I'll have to get it figured out tomorrow, however. I'm still trying to come up with a shot for tonight.)

I'd love to have critiques of my critiques. (actually, I don't want a critique of what I've written--I'd like to know what I've missed. People have such interesting insights: things that never would have occurred to me. I'd just like to make sure I'm on track.

I am somewhat new on here...but I'm confused..if the critique requests are empty, why do I not have a critique (I checked the "please critique" box during entry) on this photo:

//www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=816386

I might be missing a timeline/ queue thing I'm not aware of...

Thanks
