I'd like to know who appointed themselves such an art critic that they can say what is "crap" and what isn't. For each so-called "critic" that thinks his work is top notch just because he rendered it for 20 million hours and got the "right lighting" (said the photographer to the model), there is someone looking at that critic's work going "ehhh, it does nothing for me, delete it". "Elitist" (sp?) is the correct word for this kind of attitude. Makes me wonder if their child gave them a picture drawn from its heart, would that person say "go back and try harder"...all in all, people have different levels. My work is in the beginner status and yes I have "clicked" and used plugins to make some but guess what? It took thought on what elements to use, where to place those elements, and how much lighting to give them among other things. I am learning alot here through advice and what people say, not only to my work, but others too. And the ones I praise - I say what I mean...if it were meaningless then I'd give a high ranking to every single picture I look at....and sometimes I'll sit down in a day and look through hundreds. To sum it up - no one has "art critic" power, not even art critics. You know what you like, look at it...you know what you don't like, don't look. You want elitist, join that kind of site...and pray it doesn't rain. On the vote - if it's because of bandwidth, cool - I can do one a day or 7 a week and be quite happy with that.
