You have been here for 5 and a half years...you have looked at 5 images on the site. This is your first forum post and your first thread. You haven't voted nor commented on any other images. You haven't selected any fave photos or photographers...so I am curious why you would start now or what took so long? I am pleased if you are going to start getting involved in the site....and maybe the first step would be to join as a paid member. Then you can upload images to your own portfolio and post your image thumbnails into the threads for C&C.

Another good way to get C&C is to enter some challenges...even as a free member you can do that.

Read the front page and you will see there are some challenges. Make sure you read the rules thoroughly before you enter. They will help you grow and learn so much as a photographer. Just remember, whilst your style may not be received by everyone on this site...you can still benefit from all areas of this site.

Nasser, until you have participated in the site,entered challenges, voted, commented or similar, you can't post links. It's designed to stop people registering simply to post spam, which previously has been a problem.
People will rarely spend much time on commenting you photo if you also have never participated. Basically this site likes to help those that are active and help others. Best way to get feedback would be to enter a few challenges, and also vote and comment on some images.

There is also a great post somewhere being the unoffical guide for new people. I don't remember where it is but someone might post the link here if they remember

Hey there Nasser,
Welcome to things
This portion of the site is reserved for things related to the Critique Club, which is a group of volunteers who provide detailed critiques to challenge entries. If you enter a challenge, you have the option of checking a box that asks for an in-depth critique from one of the members.
A more appropriate place to ask for feedback on an image that has not been entered in a challenge would be the "Individual Photograph Discussion" area. Regarding the inability to post photos, I'm not sure how long the restriction lasts, sorry. It was created to discourage the immense amounts of spam the forum was receiving.
