i'm telling you that what you're implying, that people who critic but are not paid for it are but critiquing for the sake of critiquing, and therefore not worth that of paid critics, is an over-generalisation.
art critics, being people who intentionally concern themselves with art, make as much contribution to art as artists themselves, and to be concerned in art is not the priviledge of institutionally recognised artists and critics.
Yes, you have a valid point here.
And they a rare breed:sweat: :thumbsup:
Are you referring to bad experience from criticism?
yup... so i decided to post on other website... where people wont just criticise and "jump" to other threads and continue to criticise other people...
i also notice that some people who like to criticise other people's works... didnt post their own works too... i wonder is it because they are afraid of being criticise by other people? :think:
Feedback is always important to help one improve and grow.
just ignore what you think is mean spirited lor...its a free world. Most important thing to remember is that you don't have to prove anything to anyone but yourself.

Well said! :thumbsup:
Is the issue that some critics are callous in the delivery of their critiques? OR that their credentials are in doubt because they don't post anything (so that you don't have a benchmark to measure against)?
Are you chuffed that these critics have high and mighty attitudes OR that they have nothing to back up their attitudes?
Would you overlook the actions of a critically acclaimed photographer like say Sabastiao Sadalgo if he were to be very harsh in critique of your photos, just because of who he is?
some can give critique and some cannot
some can take critique and some cannot
it is a learning process
where more experience and making mistakes will make you learn faster

Hello my dearest fellow CSers
I've been a member here for quite a while already, but still considered new, so maybe this is the correct place to post this thread regarding the culture here in CS. After posting a few threads and joining other people's thread, I've come to notice a certain kind of behaviour that's quite accepted here in CS, which in some other places can be viewed as a very ungentlemanly and dishonorable behaviour.
Firstly, I've noticed that there are those "self appointed professional critique", who does not post any photos taken by them at all...I mean, c'mon, let's be fair and put at least one, its not too much to ask right? Its to give the guy/gal being criticised, a chance to verify the qualification of the criticizer. Its always easy to comment and give ideas etc.... when one can't produce what one propose, its unfair to the guy who spend hard work and time posting up, being open and got disappointing critiques by these group of people.
Secondly, there are those who make short and cutting remarks, and when questioned upon for more details, they are no where to be seen...GONE!! It's quite remarkable and unbelievable. And you can see them hopping from one thread to another, obviously ignoring any further questioning.... cyber arsonist
I believe people here are of a certain calibre and intelligence, there's no need for anyone to be embarassed by being reminded of such fundamental courtesy, so I sincerely hope that more honour be brought to this place, and let's be open and learn from each other, myself highly included. As you can see, I've put up quite a number of photos even before I started to participate in commenting about other's photo, so if you see that my photos are not up to standard, then I have given you a chance to ignore what I commented.
What do you all think? Any similar observations? Or maybe its just me :bsmilie:
