It doesn't take a whole lot of knowledge to say that. It takes knowledge however, to offer some help.
Yes she could have done that. But then again, the original posters could have asked for advice too, instead of posting a whole bunch of unsharp pics without any self-reflective comment about quality. If someone posts pictures without questions I gotta assume those pics are there for enjoyment of the viewers. If any viewer does not enjoy what he/she is viewing IMO he or she has the full right to express that feeling.
In general I agree with previous posters that tips on how to improve may work better then just telling the pics suck. But in the past I have advised people to buy glasses and I think I even told someone to switch on autofocus, but those tips weren't appreciated either
. Some people just want to hear their pics are great, even if they aren't and this just doesn't seem like the place anymore to come for that.
Personally I like it a lot better the way it is now, then the way it was some time ago when no negative comment was allowed (by fellow posters, moderators never complained).
