ABSTRACT
Most photographers want people to see their work. In all cases, they benefit from constructive feedback offered by others. The word critique refers to a critical review or commentary, written or spoken, regarding someone's work, usually artistic work but certainly not limited to that. Critiquing a photograph is a subjective task. Even expert critics often have different opinions. The technique of clustering is based on the open-ended use of words as pioneered by the free-association techniques of Freud and Jung. This clustering technique can be used in reverse, as in planning where to take photographs and what kind of photographs to take. Social media has opened up a whole new world for discussing photography. Participating in a photo-sharing community can help photographers evaluate themselves. The culture of technology promotes the idea that digitized images can be preserved indefinitely for future viewing and sharing, without any loss of quality.
