Hi John, Surely a critique in the plainest sense constitutes an honest critical personal appraisal of a work be it good or bad? Whether is perceived as constructive would likely be determined by the receptiveness of the originator of the work. In the case of the PAW anyone can offer a critique, if you don't wish an image to be subjected to critique then make it plain. Frank somehow manages to find the time to provide well considered comments on all the PAW images and I for one appreciate his commentary terse or otherwise.
