While I think it is VERY valuable to see your own or others' work critiqued, (I have learned loads from professional critiques) I think the sheer volume of pictures and critiques overwhelms our ability to assimilate lessons from them. What about making it Picture of the Month? Only present your work once every four weeks? This doesn't mean people should stop taking pictures every week, in fact they should take more, but it will force people to learn to edit their own work, a practice many of us could benefit from. There would be 38 less weeks spent being overwhelmed. That way we'd be looking at what people consider their best shots, and I'm sure we'll still be able to find something wrong with each to talk about. Or not. Less Is More... Too Much of A Good Thing... Always Leave Them Wanting More... Craig Semetko - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
