Simple method, you can 'get off' at any step.
Step One: First impression. It may be a
technical thing, or a feeling that you'd have liked to have made that pic.
yourself.
Step two: What it was you did like, that made you
comment. Maybe because you're a member of a group and felt obligated, or
one of the elements in step one.
Step three: A suggestion on how to make it better in
your opinion. Strictly an opinion that may also be the opinion based on having
seen/learned something new.

First and
foremost, it's all too easy to upset the author by both
intended criticism
and perceived sleights. Not everyone welcomes the

I do not like to critique other's work, either.
I see the same problem when a writer submits work for review and critique.
They ask for an honest review but many seldom want it.
If you
are brutally honest you offend. To be sure, you are not out to offend, but
brutal honesty often causes brutal anger. On a mailing list, you really cannot
go into great detail and fully explain why you think a photographer's work
lacks.
So folks, if you ask, I will tell you what I think.
Remember, you asked.
