I'm open to submissions, if we can get 5-10 then we can vote on them!


- You may submit one deviation to each category per week
- "Request Critique" must be turned on on your deviation
- You must give critiques to stay an active member of this group, this group is not just about getting, it is also about giving!
- If you suggest favorites, I hope they have something to do with getting or giving critiques.

We have just Applied to be turned into a Group

I will let you know if we get accepted so that you can reapply to be a part of it. I realize that now we have critiques on our actual deviations, but I hope to still have a collection of your top picks that you really want to focus on growing artistically. Remember this group is about growth, encouragement, and learning.

We hope you've had a wonderful 2 years since we've closed... it's about time that we get on with the show!
Dear Members, dear friends

We've been here two years....

After a long run and lots of fun contests and even a DD we are sad to announce that we are closing our doors.... that is Until deviantART sets up the Groups that they promised us.

People change, they come and go. They submit their art, and then delete it from their galleries leaving our links going to dead ends. We have people who support us and then totally forget about us.

And with a million other groups out there doing the same thing, and having some sucess and then failing, after gaining upwards of 400+ members and/or watchers.... it's just too much for me, DellaMorteArts to handle. stumbleine179 hardly updates his own page anymore, much less this one, so I've been "running" this place for the past year.

We've had some great times, don't get me wrong. But it's just not great enough. DA is too limited when it comes to groups and group activities. It's not fair for us to post YOUR artwork in OUR gallery. We should be able to just link straight to your photo like Flickr does. And if you delete your image from your gallery, or change your description, it would change here too. That way we wouldn't have to tell those ignorant people to unfav the image and refav yours, even though there is a huge :bulletred: :bulletred: DO NOT FAV HERE :bulletred: :bulltetred: written right there in the description. Yeah, maybe they just don't speak English

It's just too much work for now. Maybe in the future we can revive ourselves. And as soon as they fix the gallery modifications I'm going to put all the deviations in storage. Right now the storage feature is missing. *rolls eyes*

So, for all of you who've been there for us, THANK YOU!

Sincerely,
  DellaMorteArts & stumbleine179

The Photo Critic!

Would anybody be interesting in helping this club out with new members and adding new deviations? If so, please note DellaMorteArts. As you can see we are a bit behind with the club. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks


:bulletred:  What is ThePhotoCritic?


:bulletblue:  Our mission is to enrich the photography community by promoting meaningful comments and critiques.  By providing positive feedback, we are able to help fellow photographers grow and improve thier skills, as well as giving them the needed encouragement to keep creating!  This club will also serve to provide a little more publicity for it's members!



:bulletred:  Can anyone become a member?

:bulletblue:  If you own a camera, and are capable of providing meaningful comments and critique on photography, then yes, you may become a member.  You don't have to be an expert to join, simply enthusiastic!



:bulletred:  How do I become a member of ThePhotoCritic?


:bulletblue:  Becoming a member is easy!  It's a two step process.  

:bulletgreen:1.  Add ThePhotoCritic to your devWATCH.

This enables you to keep up with the latest news from the club.  Be sure to watch our journal as well as our deviations. We encourage you to try to critique our new submissions as they arrive. This will help keep our club active and united in trying to give better critiques.
Also, please support the club by letting others know about us, either in your journal, in your signature, or anywhere else. (we have a stamp that you can put in your journal if you'd like)

:bulletgreen:2.  Simply choose a deviation from our gallery.  Write a critique of that deviation and send it to ThePhotoCritic in a note.  In the subject of that note, write "Request Membership".  

We will review your critique, and pass it on to the original artist for you.  If we feel you provided heartfelt feedback, we will add you to our members list, and ask you for a link to one of your deviations that you would like added to our gallery.  It's as simple as that!
