Sharon's expressed reservations about providing negative critiques to photos are probably shared by many, accompanied by others who instantly click 'back' when they see an unappealing photo rather than attempting any sort of feedback because it would take to long.

Would it be possible to add an anonymous feedback widget to the photo feedback section? Perhaps it could be added automatically to any toplevel post containing an image or external link.

The widget would allow users to select a generic rating (bad - average - good - excellent) and/or perhaps allow more specific rating on the details(composition - lighting - subject - focus - etc.). A message field could be added too, I suppose, if it seems prudent.

If I could quickly rate a photo with 2 or 3 clicks and move on, I'd do it more often!

Just a thought,
_Tim

That's a good idea, but I can't code PHP + SQL - perhaps there is someone out there who help me by coding such a gadget to this forum, or I can find a ready-made voting script which I could integrate to the site. Let's see what develops.

Simply voting like "composition gets 4 stars" does not help much in developing the skills, I'd rather urge people to be brave and give and receive verbal feedback in intellectual and friendly manner.

(I could also let all people post without registering to feedback forum, let's see if that's neccessary)
