Secret Squirrel,
There is a monthly group shoot in the rec.photo.equipment.35mm group
which gets an interesting pool of about a dozen or so submissions and
pretty civilized critiques: http://www.pbase.com/shootin
Helen, who
catches much flack in the Annika wars has contributed several times and
has been received warmly each time.
The current 'mandate' is due next Friday the 11th:

Try it, it's fun :-) or check it out & contribute comments, all are
welcome.
