I like to think I'm being helpful, but I'm afraid I come off as arrogant and scathing. My opinions do not necessarily reflect the majority, so hopefully they can be taken with a grain of salt.
I actually have no issues with harsh critiques and I welcomed them. I know early on people were getting upset with the judges critiques and they seemed to tone down what they were saying critique wise. Saying "I liked your picture, but I liked others more. So I have to give you my required 1" was said frequently and I feel it's a cop out critique that does nothing for the models. If you're judging / critiquing you should just say what you think. It was frustrating to get something along that line for feedback.
