[Leica] Critiques

[Jean-Michel Mertz]

Tina,
I do look at most of your pictures ... but I rarely respond because, for one, your pictures are almost always excellent and, for two, I'd have a hard time writing something that would appear as sensible - I'm not a pro, I can only respond to your images with "my guts". Furthermore, there are so many photos to look at on the LUG, I feel it would be unfair not to write a critique on all of them! 
Now, if I knew why this or that picture was posted, then I'd be ready to have a closer look and respond. What I need is to spot THE picture that would, as you say, communicate something and stand out of the flood of images we get everyday on the LUG. If this were the case, I think I'd be willing to spend "some" more time on this list - an hour a day would be reasonable I think. I have given up posting for the time being because responses have been very scarce, which I can understand, and also because I am overwhelmed by the quality of what I see here.
JM
