Can we talk about "critique"?

As a photographer, what do you want from a critical viewer?

I struggled with those questions for quite a while. Now, I just do my
own thing.

From my reading of this forum I believe I've been able to learn enough
about the participating photographers to make some kinds of
observations about how their personalities and character are reflected
in the images they submit to the Shoot-In. I don't really want to talk
about that, but there it is.

I apply that in reverse: I write my comments and let others interpret
my personality/character so that they can ignore my comments or make
use of them as they see fit.
