Do you mean Photo Gallery and Photo Analysis? There is an official description of the uses for each, but the way I see it, the Photo Gallery is a place where we can display pictures we've taken. Maybe to show off, maybe to show something worth seeing. It's not the place to tear someone's photo apart.
The Photo Analysis section is to ask for help or criticism of an image. If you display an image here, be ready for criticism - both good and bad.

Actually, one is Photo Gallery, where you post your photos to show them off and hopefully get some general critique (other than "nice shot" even if it isn't), the other one is Photo Analysis where you post your photos if you would like to get some serious feedback or discuss specific issues about your photo.

Thank you I will try to post in the right place. John
The Photo Gallery section and Photo Analysis sections are easy to mix up and most members seem not to understand the difference between the two.
The Photo Gallery section can be used for simply sharing photos or for any kind of critique you might wish (if you ask for it).
Photo Gallery Section
This section is for posting pictures you took. If you want to ask others to comment on your choice of subjects, composition, settings, show off your pictures to others, or ask for general critique, then please do so in the Photo Gallery section.

The Photo Analysis section is much more complicated and few images posted there are in the proper place. In my opinion you are better off posting in the Photo Gallery and then requesting any critique you desire, either general or specific, or none at all.
Anyway, here are the rules for the Photo Analysis Section.
Photo Analysis Section
Just like the Photo Gallery section, the Photo Analysis section is also for posting pictures. But there is a major distinction.
When posting in the Photo Analysis section, you must:
- Ask a specific question about fixing something particular you don't like about your photo. (Help with retaking the shot or with post-production techniques.)
or
- Post a "mini-tutorial" describing a technique you used to achieve something specific in the photo. (Teach others about framing, lighting, post-processing, etc.)
All other picture posts, such as asking for general critique of some photo, should be placed in the Photo Gallery section. So questions like "What can I do to make this photo better?" should be placed in the Photo Gallery, not in Photo Analysis.
In addition, when asking for help in the Photo Analysis section:
- You must state the settings used for taking the picture (ISO, aperture, shutter speed, any body presets). If you don't have the exact numbers, then please recall them the best you can.
- You must describe the lighting (sources, intensity, locations, weather, etc.). Again, if you don't remember the specifics do your best describing the environment.
- You must list the gear (body, lenses, etc.)
- You must ask specific questions about either improving the existing picture in post or about retaking the shot.
Posts that don't contain the required information or lack description of a specific issue will be moved to the Photo Gallery section.

Enjoy. 8-)
