		<description><![CDATA[I get a lot of people sending me images with &#8216;mysterious&#8217; problems, and I figured it was only fair if I run a series of articles about how you can alleviate these problems. The most frequent problem is actually a lens-flare related problem, and there seems to be some confusion as to what lens flare [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey all! First of all, a quick apology - I&#8217;ve been so busy with my day-job that I haven&#8217;t had time to update Photocritic nearly as often as I would like. Having said that, it&#8217;s practically 2 months since my last update, which is downright embarrassing. I&#8217;ll have look if I can&#8217;t come up with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ I&#8217;ve been a fan of Renoux on DeviantArt for a long time: His style of strongly emotive nude photography always appealed to me strongly. Playful, and with levels of nudity ranging from regular portraits to borderline pornography, he manages to capture the essence of the human body in a way that is quite unlike [...]]]></description>

After all, using a camera isn&#8217;t the only way to get stuff into your computer for processing&#8230; Instead of scanning your prints, why not skip the camera altogether and scan [...]]]></description>

The website is known as &#8216;best pic ever&#8217;, and it&#8217;s probably a pretty good description of what the site does - and what it does really quite well.
