Hello happy people,
I know I've been flooding your mailboxes with a lot of critiques lately and I realized it might be bothering for some of you. So, if you wish this madness to stop , you can always unwatch my critiques just by following this link and unchecking the critique button corresponding to Grauweiss.
I've joined deviantArt little over a year ago especially to write critiques and comments. I'm a mediocre or just above the average photographer (but I plan to become better ) and I do write from time to time, but it's mostly in Romanian, because that's the language I'm now most comfortable with. So, there will be more comments & critiques to come.
And last, I'd like to ask your opinion on a certain matter. I'll explain. Whenever I give feedback on a deviation, I try to remain as neutral as possible and try to cover all aspects I can think of. I never question why that deviation was posted, if it appeared out of joy or to "vent off" frustrations and nor with what feelings it was written. This is what seems fair to me. Feelings and personal stuff are something which aren't to be discussed on a deviations page, in my opinion. After all, to me, deviantArt is not just a socializing network, it's a network to share and receive constructive criticism for your art.
So, I ask you, the one who reads this journal entry: What kind of feedback to you expect on your artwork? Constructive criticism or empathy / how-to-live-your-life advice?
I, for one, expect criticism or at least an own opinion (ex: i like it / too dark / it's ok).
