I thought that when someone asks for an initial reaction critique that you are supposed to be able to see the image description once you’ve submitted a critique. This doesn’t happen for me. What am I missing?

Same here. I commented on [This Image](https://community.naturephotographers.network/t/tree-of-life/50088) and then had to click on the blurred text to see it.

I went back to the image to get the link to it, and the text is blurred.

Is this a feature, or a bug?

Glad I’m not the only one with the problem. I never trust my technological skills. 😂

I’ve always had to click on blurred text to see it - don’t recall it ever just appearing after commenting. I just commented on the link Preston posted and I had to click after leaving a comment.

You’ve always had to click on the text to reveal. I’m afraid nothing has changed here 😄

I guess I needed to read the fine print. 🙂
