As photographers and artists, we often strive to improve our skills and seek the opinions of others regarding our work. Many art and photography sites set aside a place for this purpose, and The Lens Flare now has a comments and criticism forum for you to use (which is often referred to as C&C).

When using this forum, as well as C&C boards on other sites, it’s best to post a link to your TLF webpage that has the image rather than posting the image directly.  This will bring people into your gallery and they’ll likely visit more pages than just the one you’ve posted.  It’s a great way to increase your gallery’s exposure.  Often, I’ll post 3 links to photos of a similar theme.

Here are the best C&C Boards I’ve found on the web:

The Lens Flare Comments and Criticism Message Board - All Photographers and Artists
DPReview Challenges and Galleries Forum - All Photographers
Photography-on-the.net Canon Photo Sharing Forum - Canon users
Nikonians Image Sharing Forum - Nikon users

By posting for comments and criticism in one or more places, you might see 100-300 visitors view your pictures, and you’ll generally get good feedback as to what people liked and how to improve your photos.

If you know of other great places to solicit feedback on your work, please let us know.
