As you may or may not know, the main reason behind a critique being taken more seriously, either in favor or against, by somebody who shows their work (also pleas see rule #10 for G1) is that they know how to articulate why it works or does not work as a photograph. G1 and formerly GG has worked because you have been able to get quality critiques by people who not only could talk the talk, but walk the walk. Heck, if I wanted to get just basic critiques by people who don't know what they are talking about, I'd just go to this one site that I'll only describe with the same letter repeating. I'm reminded of an old proverb, "Opinions are like asses, everybody has one, and some of them stink!."
