Scores of readers didn't 'get it' and had their panties all twisted up over the satire of critiques that miss the entire point of great photos. The letters column for May (or was it June?) exposed the deception and hopefully gave some people a wake-up call. Unless a photographer is completely in the weeds, a good critique points out what they did <i>right</i> and how the photo makes you feel. The nitpickers are usually looking for status they don't deserve.
