While we don't want to have so many separate forums that the site becomes difficult to navigate, some things just make sense. We've had a request for a specific area to ask for critical feedback on specific images or collections of images in the gallery. Since this is a photography forum complete with its own gallery, it only makes sense to have a unified place to post such critique requests. I think it will be very beneficial as long as the person posting the request is ready to hear honest feedback and the persons giving the feedback do so in a manner conducive to helping the original poster improve the image or portfolio in question.
So post away!
