Everyone is right, this is not an elitist forum, everyone can enter and share his "art", but I remember when I first entered this forum I posted my images in the beginner galleries for some time and when I enter the Bryce gallery I recieved at best 1 2 comments (and that was right), now beginners are dominating the gallery. IT IS A MATTER OF RESPECT I have not all the day free and can't browse completely the gallery (too much entries) so I get in the hot 20 or look to my favourite artists, but if I enter in the hot 20 and see half of it full of begginers' images I get stuck, moreover I can miss some good images... Moreover there is the frustration to recieve 4 or 5 comments with 100 viewings and no votes while my neighbour is having 20 viewings 20 comments and 20 votes, so he enter the hot 20 and his popularity grows...... and so on.... Dunno... maybe sometimes I have too much hate inside me... dunno...
