If you have to comment on C&C first check if the picture means something to you. If it does not, walk away. If it does and something troubles you, share that doubt because you are probably offering a pertinent advice or asking the right question. If your C&C consist of: Not in focus, not whatever, you really have nothing to say.
The person who posted the picture is asking for something else than the obvious (other than 'oooh' and 'aaah soooo cuuute', hopefully). I don't do fuzzy kitten.

English Wolf, I'm a little confused by the last two paragraphs. Maybe I'm reading something that's not really here. Are you saying that unless I have some constructive critique to give, that I shouldn't make any comment? I agree with what you've posted, we don't learn much when the obvious is stated over and over again without giving the person some ideas to try, like what f-stop to use, etc. I don't feel qualified to give that type of suggestion. But I do know when I like, and when a photo appeals to me, I like to let that person know that I enjoyed looking at their photo.
