I suggest setting up a mailing list for people involved with the 
exchanges.  Be careful, though.  Critiques of prints on-line can be 
touchy things. I've lost a few people over the years because they didn't 
like other people's comments. Everyone always thinks that they want 
honest comments, but that's often not really true.  Moreover, it's 
really hard to give a good critique. Saying "It just doesn't work" isn't 
very helpful.  Let's face it, an artistically "good" photograph is a 
very subjective thing.  I don't like Weston's nudes at all, for example, 
and yet many people do. ... It's much easier to talk about technique.
