The Idea
I wanted to create somewhere, photographers of all abilities, can upload their picture, and get other peoples opinions on them. As well as discussing the techniques used and the skill needed. Offering help and advice on how to improve our Pictures. Also i would like to make it possible for members to post a gallery of their own for others to browse.
The Way It Works
When you have an image that you wish to share with the group, start a post about the image.
If you can please include as much info about the image. ie Camera type, Lens, Film Speed, Exposure (the meta data) etc. Also try to include a little bit about what you like about the image and dislike, as well as what you where hoping to achieve. Weather it be, you wanted to capture the moment, or you want to show the relationship between two subject or the rise and fall of a nation, I don't care, just tell us. Then if you think you achieved it or not and why.
After that its down to others to offer there opinions and, if any, advice.

"There seems to be a general perception that "critique" means "to find fault with." It doesn't mean that at all. It means to critically analyse and respond to something, either positively or negatively, or both. Even when someone holds a camera in their hands for the first time, they have a lifetime of experience processing visual imagery. The success of an image in someone's eyes is how is works for them!"
A good example of the deconstruction of a photo can be found in Paul Gardner's post in this thread
