One thing that puts me off a bit is on other sites I have seen people put an image up for "critique" then get all precious if you say anything even mildly critical,
I always remember being their when some loud mouth know it all asked andy rouse to "critique" his pictures, obviously expecting high praise and the rousemeister said "these are terrible" (although actually there were a couple of expletives in there too) Andy did go on to give some pointer for improvement but mr loud mouth was too busy nursing his hurt pride to listen.
To my mind there is no point in asking for critique if all you really want is for everyone to say "oooh your pictures are wonderful, you're so clever" if anyone wants to grow as a photographer they have to be prepared to listen to criticism. - and what puts me off the idea here is the potential for hurt feelings amongst community members leading to bad feeling on the forum as a whole.
