Go for it. I appreciate honest observation, and I use it to improve my skills. Chances are, I already know most of my shortcomings anyway. The link leads to my gallery. I'm a big fan of the 1:1 critique. Don't just say what you think could be improved. It's just as important for a person to know what they are doing right. It is also helpful, when giving critique, if you understand the tools used, so that you can make suggestions on how to improve the image, as opposed to just what is wrong or right with it. I find your grand entrance dubious at best, but I wecome honest and thoughtful critique from any source. *"Alas, it appears to be yet another clique ridden self sustaining ecology for the most part."* It can seem like that, yes. I find myself with the same opinion a lot of the time. I also take time to realise that there are a lot more people here, than those whose voices often rise above the rest. I think what most people (just my opinion based on observation)found offensive, was your bull in a china shop approach to a community of creative types, knowing full well you would be bruising some egos. That, coupled with you proclamation of professionalism, just screams arrogance; a quality that rubs most people the wrong way. Why the grandstanding? What's the point?
