Huh? Ask and you will receive; request inclusion into CC and they will grant it.

then what's the point of having to ask? |
So they know who to assign critique requests to?
Wow, Bear's quick, and soooo much better with the answers than I :)

gotcha, makes sense. unfortunately many of my shots are happy accidents still. i'm stuck waste deep in apertures, lighting, dof, shutterspeeds, etc ..while still trying to figure out what i enjoy shooting. some of it is becoming second nature, and my progress (largely unpublished) indicates this. thanks for taking the time to explain what you mean. |
My shots are still happy accidents still, but that is what I like about them. I don't have the patience for tripods and what not.
It's good to have you aboard though.
If you can find a new/good way to engage some photographers/members that feel are being left out, I think the community as a whole would appreciate it. I was just giving examples on things out there now.
Looking forward to seeing more work of yours either through your portfolio or challenges.
Also take a look  posthumous statistical favorites he has. I am sure a lot of those photographers are right up your line (sadly I am not a stat fav :) |

i'm going home .. this probably wasn't the best "first thread" for tsmith exposure (pun, ha!). certain topics hit my passion button and result in the wake exhibited here. thanks to those willing to hash things out, and nothing but respect to those that didn't. the goal here is progress and self-realization, not hurt feelings.

I'm not sure; that's just the way it is. It's a subset of DPC, so you have to be marked into the subset to access the queue. I suppose it is conceivable that they might "deny" some requests for inclusion for whatever reason, but I have not heard of it happening. Once you are in, you can click on a link and be "assigned" an image to critique. I suppose the reason for specific inclusion is so that if fly-bys click the link, get an image, and fail to critique it they can be culled from the list... I may be wrong.

The reason you have to ask is because they evaluate your critiques. The vast majority of of the comments posted during voting, do not qualify and an in depth critique. If you are not doing in depth critiques on your assignments, you will be removed.
Assignments are random. You request and image and the site assigns one. Then until you complete the critique, or the next roll over, whichever comes first, that image is assinged to you. If you don't do the critique before the roll over, the image is deleted from the list and never gets a review. |

well that makes sense. but it seemed like you had to join just to find out if you wanted to be a part of the club ...yet i didn't want to join without knowing what it was. vicious circle, etc. |

I *think* the Critique Club is open to Registered Users (free) as well as paying members.
Check out these threads where people highlight photos they find have "artistic merit," but which they believe have been overlooked/undervalued by the DPC voting public:
Posthumous Ribbons Thread One
Posthumous Ribbons Thread Two
August Blur
Blur -- Part Two |

i'd like to add a quick update, after spending some time looking into things. i looked around at some of the top stock photography sites ..and i was pretty impressed. my understanding/opinions on stock photography was incorrect and/or dated and i in turn made an incorrect correlation to what i've seen here.
there's still a lot of submissions that i think are sub-par for a contest level, or even share-with-the-world level, but to characterize it as stock photography was narrow.
