Critique / Discussions

After some discussions and a little more thought and input from some members it has been decided that the group will remain open for the time being and hopefully more activity in the form of discussions, critiques, book or exhibit reviews etc...will be forthcoming.
One change though is that the pool is closed and all the photos in the pool have been removed. Henceforth, photos are only accepted in the discussion threads accompanied by a critique request. A little blurb explaining the photo or the intent and any relvant thoughts which might help are encouraged and required. Again, I want to emphasize that the group is not a dumping ground for your photos. There are plenty such groups around and so please find one and join. If you are not willing to participate in a critique group the primary focus of which is discussion about photography, technique and helping each other improve, then please leave the group and find one that is more suited to your needs than the Critique group.
Finally, a new admin, Miffy, has been added. Thanks for volunteering to help.
