how do you propose doing this? by quoting a comment on an image and grading it there? or by pulling the comment into this thread?

Just pick any photo, look over its critiques and rate them overall, not idividual critiques. and maybe add why

You still didn't say where. Could be fun, but where are you going to rate/comment on the critiques? I'd say post it here with a thumb of the image being discussed.

You need to be careful with these. Everyone always complains there's not enough comments, and now you are going to start rating the comments that were made (is that correct?). You could scare people away from making future comments.

My intent was to get some of the better critiquers(new word) to give sugestions on how to give better critiques and maybe improve the overall usefullness of the comments.

Do people really want critiques that go over there photos and point out small details that might improve a shot? If so, are you hard enough on the details? Am I to hard on them? I look at the winning Abandoned Building photo and notice its a really cool shot. Possibly a 10 vote from me if I felt it met the challenge. But I do notice a tree coming over the left side of the building is distracting as is a cloud coming out of a mountain like a volcano. Do people overall really want to hear that about what in there mind is a masterpiece(heck this one is real close to a masterpiece in my mind as well, you certainly see worse on postcards all the time).

I think the root of the critique should start at the knowledge of what is too critique.

too many members giving their view of what their sense of art is, instead of giving a fair overview of how the picture was taken, I.E crop, levels, composition, mid tones, lines, balance, blacks and whites, subject, theme, ect..

That's it, I'm done doing any 'critiquing'. I see the err of my ways having so far only given mostly compliments.
:-(

{edit} - I'll leave the 'critiquing' to the experts from here on in.

Of course, the button could be changed from reading "Critique" to "Comment", perhaps that would satisfy the SEMANTICS POLICE. {/edit}
