Hmmmmm....to be fair to all....and all are not Photographers...some are Young, some are Old, some are Sensitive, some are Shy,some are Skeerd to Critique. As for Myself....doing this for 1 Year....if I had gotten the "honest? critique" and it said that everything needed to improve....I probably would not have continued....become dejected, but for the Back Slapping from those that said..."Well Done! Good Shot! Hugz!" "Wanna be My Buddy?" So....as a Raw Novice....I like it like this...with encouragement.. and the atmosphere of a "Big Love In"...and....if You need to be helped....bring it to the Forum ....why, I even bring My Personal Problems here...sigh But....above all Douglas, be Yourself....but, with Respect.....many of Us are just being Ourselves....I am a Chef by Trade....I could honestly Critique a bad Burger....but, I am not Pro enough in Photography, to say much more than ..."I like what and who I see"....many are like Me....it is Our Nature.
