Uploads to the Critique Gallery always are allowed to have comments marked as constructive critique.

Yes, everyone is welcome and encouraged to comment, no matter what level of skill, experience. Your opinion is as valuable as the next.

This team comprises several ePHOTOzine members who have volunteered to contribute actively to the Critique Gallery. Their aim is to provide valuable feedback, with sensible constructive advice, to help new members improve and more experienced members develop further. A list of the members can be found here.

It's important not just to go and critique photos that are currently uncritiqued (although this is, of course, valuable). The idea is to offer as much support, help and comment across the board.
