I think all the comments above are very nice and I liked them all, well done to everyone involved....... Only kidding. One point I'd like to make as a relative newcomer to Renderosity, is that there must be many people here, like me, who use this site for entertainment value. In the last few months I've spent many hours looking through galleries, opening up thumbnails that I think might be of interest to me. Its only human nature to focus in (Pardon) on subject matter that somehow appeals to them, so it is only natural that they recieve more positive comments than critisism. I do however take your point that the lack of critisism might not lend itself to improvement. I,ve had a few comments like that and do welcome them as a humble beginner. Half the time subject matter is just as important as technical ability, and not all members own the best equipment on the market. At present I am limited to my wee 35mm camera and scanner, but hopefully will go digital when my wallet (and wife) allows. Then I will be actively seeking advice and I am sure members here will be only too willing to help, and for that I will be greatful, perhaps you (Douglas) will be able to help guide me on the digital path too? The strength of Renderosity is in its members, welcome aboard. As far as being afraid to hurt anothers feelings, one thing I bear in mind is that with each posting you have the option not to recieve comments and rankings so if an individual is so sensitive to the degree where they will be upset by fair critisism, then they can choose not to hear it. Again I feel all the comments above were just great and enjoyed reading them, thankyou so much for sharing!!!
