Douglas - We've been through this a few times and it's something most of us accept. This isn't a photography website. As such, many of the people who comment on the photographs have no background in photography. They're 2D and 3D artists. They simply comment on what it is they like and usually ignore something they don't like. I think we, the photographers, have fallen in line with that in the gallery. For criticism, we come here to the forum. Post an image and say "What do you guys think" and you'll usually get an honest look at it. I actually like that a lot better than gallery based critiquing. In the forum, people can adjust your photo and repost it to the same thread to show you what they are talking about that they might not have been able to adequately explain in just words. It also allows better dialog between the photographer and those giving criticsm. And, by the way, nice to meet you. :) -=>Donald
