My point of veiw on comments, critics, etc... first off, I do this for fun - it's a hobby - it gives me a chance to get the pictures in my head on "paper" and to share them from time to time. second - I have to admit it makes me feel good to haev someone say "nice job - this really moved me/made me smile/made me think." Even though I don't do this for a living, I put a lot of work into making something good. Third - I really don't mind someone saying "this could be better, what if you tried doing this with it?". Constructive criticism is always welcome. fourth - It's even more welcome when they add "what you did with (insert pose, lighting effect, camera angle, etc) is really stellar. fifth - art is an opinion. There are many things I don't care for or "get" that I can appreciate for being well done, just as I apprecitate that what I think is incredible won't do anything for someone else. sixth - Just because you don't do art/music/write/etc, you can still set forth a valid opinion on what works and what doesn't. seventh - I've no opinion one way or another on tigersharks critics - only wanted to say that if s/he is doing it out of a desire to help out others, then cool - but I won't count tiger's opinion more or less then any of my fellow artists who submit here. If s/he is doing it as meanspirited then not cool - world's got enough negativity as it is. It doesn't need more. : ) just some thoughts. Rob
