....I think we all want to share our photos and artwork with others - and we all want to grow creatively ( whether this leads to a profession or not ) --- and it seems, I'm learning , that there are a lot of avenues and ways on this site to communicate ( IM -- forum -- e-mail -- comments ) -- so I would guess -if one desires honest feedback he (she) will find a way. --- no one,though, no matter how inexperienced or young, will be mortally wounded by a thoughtful comment that points out a perceived flaw. Artists( photographers ) are usually more sensitive than most ( comes with the territory ) -- but if they continue to create they will have to learn to deal with criticism 'cause there's no way to escape it in life and art. Again I don't want to overstress the negative aspects of the term feedback -- but the lack of any such comments leaves things imbalanced and seems to reduce the comments section to a mere back slapping club. --- anyway - you get my drift -- I'm adaptable and happy to be here.
