Asher,
I visited that post, I'm at a loss of words on how well it was done, that I don't know what to say.

It is your forum and you are free to define its parameters. But I remember well that this was not the original purpose of the Riskit sub-forum when it was started. It was indeed meant for experimental shots by photographers trying out new things. Like an established sports shooter posting all of a sudden some macro pics, etc. The original description did not have the exclusivity clause nor the requirement for series of work and/or projects. It was an open invitation to all: post here your picture if you are not sure of it yourself or if you are trying new things or if you want to have early comments on some work in progress, etc. This was a simple and understandable message, I knew well when I had to use riskit. I am not so sure now.... I'll repeat that "Riskit!" is for personal new or ongoing projects that are experimental and not a free invitation for others to post their own works. So it's harder to post comments here as the answers are most important!
....
Are you seriously asking this question? I would love to give an answer but I already know that it will result in getting myself flamed. So 'll pass thank you. Suffice it to say, I have visited that....Look at this picture, for example. Why no visits from you guys?

Cem,
As far as your comments on the other picture, if for example, you wanted to say it was "kitsch" or "the usual staged wedding pics", then that's fine. It would be a valid single opinion and would contribute well to a fair critique. We need a landscape of opinions not just my artistic rants nor just "Wow!" It's the spread of comments that builds to being useful to the O.P. The added power of your response is that you could end up having another set of eyes to your own pictures too.
