I would have moved here, used this lens, got up higher/lower, waited for this light etc is constructive to a degree but it's quite different to indicating how one might improve the image that's already committed to film. I often get annoyed when people suggest to me what they would have done in making the shot when I know there were no alternatives for the given situation, I don't mind receiving appraisals over the presentation of a particular image though.
