What is a Comment?
What is a Critique?
Should you expect every comment to be a critique?
I just peeked at My Comments Made and I would be hard pressed to call any one of them a good critique. Hey, I suck as a photographer so who am I to tell Librodo that there is something technically amiss with his image?! (which i did) *gasp*. But I bet he appreciated the comment for what it was...just an observation. Not a critique.
I think there definitely is a place (and a need) for both Comments and Critiques here at DPC.
The only problem is, on challenge entries, messages typed during voting about an image get lumped into one category, "Comments"...
Maybe if there was a drop-down choice of "Comment" and "Critique" next to the vote button, the photog will have a better understanding where the commenter is coming from (their intention). If you could categorize your thoughts, DrAchoo could select "Critique" on his very insightful thoughts...where I would select "Comments" for my blathering drivel.
In turn, for those that are labeled "Comments", the photog can select "Thank you" (or whatever) checkbox - and for the "Critiques", they can select "Helpful".
Again, I have blathered on...shirking my work.
I would mark this post as more of a "comment" than a "critique".
Carry on.

This is one of the most interesting and potentially useful ideas I have heard*. I would certainly love to take advantage of this option when making comments / critiques on images!! |
