Should this not have been headed lack of reviewers. No matter what
else is being discussed on the forum there is always the possibility of
commenting on the current gallery.
I usually only make my comments, or ask questions, directly to the
author of the images rather than on the forum but, not as a value
judgement but only a reflection of what appeals to me, I have seen
little that has caused me to linger in looking, let alone to take time
to make a comment.
However when I read reviews I much prefer those from which I can learn
something rather than being told that person A 'likes' the work of
exhibitor B.

Subject: Abject lack of reviews
Y'know, it used to be fun to see what people thought about the
gallery every week. We used to get 3 or 4 reviews and enjoy talking
about what each other thought or why we did what we did.
Now, I see week after week fewer and fewer submissions and more and
more contentious discussions about non-issues like whether anyone
actually enjoys digital photography, as tho digital photography is
somehow not photography, or enjoying using an iPhone is worthy of
disrespect.
Is this the forum we want? Or do we want it to be different?
