I've made a special page that I'd like to use to give people an idea of what a good review/image comment entails. My hope is that with quality reviews from talented artists we can attract more talent to the site. Here's the page: [Reviews].

Before I make the page I'd like to get some ideas together in this thread. What do you think makes a good review?

The ones that have been most helpful to me contained info on :

Framing, composition, color correction and specific camera settings that might help improve the shot.

I was thinking of more general things like allways trying to mention:

- something you like
- something you don't like
- how it could be improved, etc.

yes, this would help quite a bit actually. I mean, I'm glad that people comment when they like a piece - but, I would also like to hear suggestions from other artists as well on how I might improve.

I know how to give good reviews. Right, Tracy? :c)

what's wrong with the Code Of Conduct page?

Absolutely Piner! ; )

Actually caedes I think you pretty well covered it.
to be honest...that's all that I can think of. I generally comment on the composition and colors - because, i like color and the lack of, as well. If the composition is done well I always comment on that.

With the exception of telling a person you like somthing I find it hard to tell a person what you think cause Im afraid it will hurt their feelings and the will get upset,especially if it is a negative comment.

It wouldn't have to be negative. If it is a suggestion on how they may improve it shouldn't hurt their feelings. Now - on the other hand - if you don't like it at all there is no need to be rude. A simple, polite suggestion should do.

We can also include was to be critical without making it personal. Good idea.

is that link bad, it the page comes up, but there is nothing on it

He is just showing where he means the put whatever we/he comes up with.

The ImageMods should have write access to the page that I linked to in the first post. You can go ahead an make the page. I don't really have time to do it right now.
