You really should publish towards a greater audience. It is totally what dA has needed.

Make it public to many more people! You put a lot of effort in that piece, but you just have 1100 views. Try to draw more attention to it! I totally support the content, so I would be pleased if more people read it and probably think twice before commenting "cute!!!"

You've earned my respect,
this guide's what we really need here on DeviantART, provided that I've seen specially talented artists who actually can't make a constructive critique.
Still, I'd have prefered seeing this written in a better font, on a better background so it's more likely to attract someone to read it and eventually use it...
Nevertheless, I verily like the way you've explained the method to write a constructive comment : good language, easy tone and the use of an illustrated exemple...
Again, I'll say that you've earned my respect

OMG! wowww this is so cool!
Just kidding, I added it to my favorites hoping more people gets to see it. I admit most times I write simple useless comments on an image if it already has too many comments, I tend to think like "yeah yeah you know you did a great job so I'll just say it's cool", but at least I always try to leave good and usefull critique on photography, and tips regarding composition or colors etc and I've noticed how the artist's appreciate it

Excelent guide, when I get a good critique in my works I feel so good, even when they aren't positive; I feel sad because is what really misses in DA, People always says "Kwl" "I Like" or stuff like that, and (personally) sometimes those works are really bad; and when they are good, they don't give a feedback to the owner. That's why when someone tells me what did he really liked and what didn't I get really happy.
Cool I will make a link to this later on in my Journal

You skipped one crucial point - as you critique a photo you want to be thinking about what the artist intended to do. See the general effect they were trying for, and THEN critique. Otherwise you'll find yourself wasting time. I favorited a macro shot of a bluish pinecone with needles radiating outwards and towards the photographer. The focus softened at the edges as the pine needles drew towards the camera, which drew the eye naturally (with both selective focus and leading lines) to the pine cone - the intended subject - and I complimented her on the depth of field effect she created. The poster above her complained that focus was off, where it was quite sharp on the pinecone and softened at the edges.
For the most part, this guide offers good points! Hopefully it'll be a step towards educating the masses.
