It’s been a long couple of days, but the first phase of the forum restructuring we’ve been doing is now complete. Last night we opened up the new Photo Sharing Corner, and tonight, we’ve opened up the new Critiques & Feedback Corner. Of course, it will take several more weeks for all the old threads to be moved to their new homes, but in the meantime, you can continue to post photos for fun and for critique!

Before you go crazy uploading photos, though, you’re going to want to read through the updated guidelines for each of the forums. You can read the Photo Sharing Corner Guidelines here and you can read the Critiques & Feedback Corner Guidelines here. They’re both pretty straight forward, but this is my favourite:
Which basically means, for every photograph you upload, make at least 3 comments (5 or more would be better) comments on photographs uploaded by others in the community. This is really the key to making this restructuring work. It’s about giving and receiving - reciprocity. If you want people to comment on/give feedback on/critique your photographs, you have to do the same. If, for every photograph we upload, we take the time to comment on or critique 3-5 other photographs, we’ll all have a bunch of comments on our photos, and really, that’s what we all want.

So, the Photo Sharing Corner and the Critiques & Feedback Corner forums are open for business! Start showing us those photographs!!
