Very clearly expressed.

When critiquing a photograph of a bird I have to consider the photographer's goal.  Was it documenting a species?  An illustration?  Demonstration of behavior?  Art?  I have my own goals for my photographs and a critique based on my goals may (and most likely will) miss the point of the photograph entirely.  Always have to consider the target audience.
