Comments

I was reading a article on Pixiq by Haje Jan Kamps about giving a good photo critique and the opening paragraph really summed up what I want to get across to you all 
"Giving feed-back on something is really easy. Giving useful feedback on a subjective matter — such as photography — is, in fact, extremely difficult."

So here is a check list on what you should include in your comments:

I adapted the the following points from this article, but if you would like to read the whole article or you would like to see the entire article and view an example you can click here!


What you should think about BEFORE you comment

You don't have to answer all of these questions in your comment, but think about these things before you do!

Look
 WHAT do you see???  Look closely at the photo what do you see?
Interpretation
  What does it make you think about and how does it make you FEEL???? Is this what the photographer want you to think about/feel?

Technical points 
What is technically good about this photo... is the color right, is there crisp and clear, did they use line, contrast etc. Did they do a good job using the actions or tutorial given to the class?  Is it exposed correctly or is it too dark or too light?

Artistic points
Crop- did they crop it right? Does it follow the rule of thirds?

Good points
Tell me what you liked- artistically- don't just say I like this photo, it is a cool photo. Why do you like it!
Points worth improving 
 What could the photographer do better. Never say you HATE the photo, but do use constructive criticism. For example: I really like the amount of water drops you have in your photo, however the photo could have been cropped in closer to really focus in on those water drops.
Overall
How did this photo appear to you overall?  And overall how did you like it!
