The post was meant in an ironic way. We get a lot of "reviewers should this, that balh blah posts and I thought the form took it to (almost) it's logical conclusion of absurdity. That anything to do with the human mind can be other than subjective (Gregory's post) should come as no surprise to anyone. The point is what though? Was that a call for no reviews (in the absence of objective criteria). Even forms like the one for that high school which attempt to break down the mechanics of a review into smaller structured chunks is still (inevitably) subjective. The reviewer has to decide what category and what was the intent then decide how well it fitted. Such exersizes are not without value. They serve as a reminder of the diverse nature of the ways in which a photo can be examined (maybe highlighting aspects in which praise could be found) but we are still left with opinion. What is the answer? Is the concensus we stop commenting until objective methods are found? Shall we carry on and accept what should be common sense? I think I'll just watch for a whiley. Bob
