An Undesirable
Jon has urged me to take up arms, well fingers at least, and type my way to victory with a winning critique thread just like his successful 'Most Recent' critique thread.
So, "Your Forum Needs You" ( mustachioed man points finger sternly toward you,) so if you would like to join this merry band of brothers step forward and let it be known.
All you need to do is provide an image that you think fits the bill and follow the guidelines below. The topic is something we all do, all of the time but how can we capture that which is done both privately, alone with our thoughts and shared with 90'000 others, the topic is Watching/Viewing - any questions let me know.
Hopefully we'll have some volunteers...and someone that can tell me how to put a clickable thumbnail in and not simply the link that I seem destined to always provide!

Welcome to the critique forum.
Please read the purpose statement and the guidelines/ground rules regarding participation.
Purpose
The primary purpose is to provide a forum where photographers can give and receive constructive criticism on one another's photographs. By setting up some basic guidelines we hope that this thread will provide a forum where the give and take of honest constructive criticism can help us become better photographers.
The forum has very specific rules regarding participation. The one basic rule is that you cannot provide criticism on an image or comment in a critique thread unless you also have an image posted. To post an image to this thread you must be a participant. Participation in this thread is limited. Here are the guidelines and ground rules for participation:
• Participation in a thread is limited to 5 photographers
• Participants join the thread by posting their intention. You can simply reply with your intent to join by posting something like: "I'm joining," "I'm in," or just state your name
• Joining is on a "first come, first served" basis. The first 5 to reply become the participants
• Once the thread has 5 participants, no other photographers can join or participate in the thread
• Once the thread is full of participants all photographers will upload their image
• The number of photos for each participant is limited to one
• Photographers attach photos as thumbnails (no inline images or links)
• Photographers post their images supplying titles (if any) and other pertinent information (the amount of information should be minimal)
• Photographers can only comment on their own images and reply to comments only when everyone else in the thread has posted their comments on the image
• Every participant must comment on every photo (except their own—initially)
• Every participant must make at least two comments, one positive comment, and one constructive criticism (which is actually two positive comments)
• Once every photographer has commented then a free flowing discussion begins. It is at this point that every photographer can comment on their own work and reply to comments, ask questions, etc.
• The participants decide when the thread closes.
