The problem with that is that if it is a good "bird picture," it is a good "picture picture."? ? When I photograph a flower, or a cat, it is not usually about the flower or cat, it is about my capture of that image. If I wanted to make Pi or Sasha famous, I would just load the picture on Tumblr, where it gets ?thousands of views. I make hundreds of photographs that never get shown; if I post, then for some reason, I've decided it is a photograph worth showing. Where the hundreds of posts come in here, (outside the sometimes divergent threads) is the way that we politely do this: Lugger 1: Here's my photograph: blahblahblah.htm Lugger 2: Hey, blahblahblah.htm is a nice shot! Lugger 1: Thanks so much for looking at blahblahblah.htm Lugger 2: No problem, thanks for posting, blahblahblah.htm was great! Lugger 3: Hey, nice shot, but have you tried it in BW? Lugger 1: Thanks so much for looking, yes, look: blahblahblah-BW.htm and I also did it in sepia: blahblahblah-sepia.htm Lugger 3: No problem, thanks for posting, I like the color best after all, but blahblahblah-BW.htm was great! So, there's really no critique, no help, just an attaboy that equivalent to a FB like. My theory? That's the culture of the LUG, and it will never change.
