I would like to respectfully, but strongly, disagree.
I know that I'm not a skilled photographer. I participate in the list and in the PUG
to learn more about photography and, I hope, to gradually improve my skills and my
eye. I appreciate ANY comments on my work, especially those that give suggestions on
how I might improve it. I don't care how harsh or nasty the comments are, as long as
they give me something to learn or something to think about. I would be quite sad to
see PUG comments disappear, or to have them degenerate into
a mutual admiration society exchange.
By the way, I did not volunteer to be an official commentator because I know I am not
qualified, and I eould hate to see three serious efforts relegated to comments from a
hack like me. I do, however, comment on my favorites each month, because I think its
important to tell people when you like what they have done, and because it forces me
to carefully study each entry and try to articulate to myself which photos work for me
and why.
