About Your Best Shot - Beginners

Structure of your comment:

What works: ___
What needs work: ___

(from the Your Best Shot - Beginners group)

Rule Summary

Just two pictures alowed a day. Your first two should be your absolute best shots. You can comment on others in the group if you wish by using the above code. I'm a big fan of constructive (But not altogether negative) comments of my shots, so I hope people feel good about critiquing as well.


Overview / Sound Bite

Are you disenchanted with existing ratings or comments groups? This group may be just what you're looking for...
This group was created to solve problems I've found exist with the comments and ratings groups.


What is the concept

The idea of this group is simple: provide a place for people to post their photos where they can get both positive and negative feedback with these benefits:

1. A member commenting on a photo does not feel uncomfortable providing negative feedback.

2. A member must provide positive feedback.

3. A member does not have the pressure of determining what a photo's score is.


Why submit to comments/ratings groups?

If you submit your photo to comments and ratings groups, what are you really trying to achieve? I think people are looking for the following:

1. People want to guage how good their photo is

2. People want other people to see their photo (it is ok to admit this. Everyone wants visibility in flickr)

3. People want feedback on the quality and emotional response of the photo.
