I joined this site a few months ago to try and improve my skills with a goal of being able to make some small living from it. Prior to finding Retouch Pro, I thought that I was ready to go, but a little tour of people's work here convinced me that I had a long way to go.
So, its not all that I hoped for and I think it is in part due to a lack of consideration for other peoples work by the membership at large.
Specifically regarding the Critique forum. Take a moment to scan the summary page and compare the number of views to the number of comments. Here's some sample numbers: 126/2, 180/3, 134/6 and so forth. My last post here I had 126 viewers but Swampy was the only person that took the time to leave a critique!
I say that this is not in the spirit of the website in general and certainly not the forum.
What's the issue?
Am I beyond hope and therefore unworthy? Well, the problem seems more widespread than me.
Uninteresting material? I do think that I see a bias in the membership towards enhancement vs restoration. If so, let's split the critique area into a couple topics like Enhancement/Alteration, Restoration, Photo Art.
Social/Interpersonal issues?
I don't know. Give me some feedback.
If you feel the same as me, say so.
