Part of the problem with the fact that "my technique" covers a lot of ground. Some people won't know what you want or where to start. You need to narrow it down more and ask about something more specific, say control of DOF or something. Maybe if you put some information about your technique for the shot, and the goal(s) you tried to achieve with that technique, into the PESO message. Give a short description of the parts of your technique for the shot that you feel might not have been up to snuff. Then explicitly ask for comments on that. That might even get people going and end up commenting on other parts of technique, too. > And I really get more out of that.

Some of the advice you get will be explaining the critic's vision of the photograph, not yours. :-) I'm bad about that when reviewing others' works. Actually, besides the "burned out highlights" and "nothing in focus" and "terrible orange cast" types of comments, it's the only type of critique I know how to do. TTYL, DougF KG4LMZ
