Sometimes I get so scared to post my work, I have quite a few images on my computer that I still don't have the nerve to post. I even entered, for the first time an entry into the Mag cover contest, I swear if it wasn't for being so busy last week at school, or being drunk over the weekend celebrating my 40th birthday, I would have deleted it from the contest. I have to admit though there was one time last week. I had 57 comments on my newest image, and I was in chat and I told everyone that I had this birthday wish to have 60 comments for my 40th birthday, be it good or bad comments. So I was a little selfish and gave the image's link to those in chat. But I have never im'ed anyone to vote for any of my work. The only time I have asked anyone for anything was my friends who I know would tell me if there was something that should be redone or fixed. Because I have worst level of confidence in my work. And I would want to know so I can keep working and improve on it all. Sometimes making the Top 20 does give me a little hope that maybe I'm doing something better. But as always the perfectionist in me thinks I should hone my talent everyday, until one day I won't find one thing wrong with it, and I won't be scared to post it.
