>Well, I've tried this before, and was reticuled over my >wording of the review for about a month afterwards, that >scared me and most likely countless others WR I do remember it well! There is a thought here that just as reviewers are "allowed" to comment on photos in the gallery others (not exclusively the authors) were similarly allowed to tear the reviews to pieces. I guess in an educational context there is some merit in that. But the fact remains (hearsay evidence) that many are put off commenting for fear of the rebuttal. >Since you all have appeared to have forgotten the incident, No WR, it's not forgotten. You wait till you dare to mention "rule of thirds" or any other long-accepted compositional guide ... it will all come flooding back again. To be safe: just stick to praising every image regardless.
