last  month there was discussion where some LUGgers thought we should 
critique the  entries, while anonymous. This was to improve
our photo skills. 


-----------------
 
It is a good idea, but the real problem here is that one cannot look at the  
photo being criticized, and I do not have a good enough memory to agree or  
disagree.
 
Even after 50 years  of photography, I do not feel comfortable  criting 
shots.  I can tell people that I like or dislike their stuff, but I  cannot 
make 
any valuable comments to help them improve their work.
 
My experience is that in the several years I have been posting that maybe  
forty out of several hundred postings received legitimate critiques.   I 
like a 
pat on the back as much as anyone, but I don't post for that. I post  
because 
it keeps me out there shooting.  That is the benefit.
