Nicely said Mark -- ( and Cindy - I'll get to you later ) -- art is subjective - credentials might add a certain weight to an opinion but everyone should have their say - - it just boils down to how an image hits you and perhaps ones ability to express why they feel that way - an innocent could sometimes nail it without any photographic history. I ,still think feedback is a very valueable tool ---but can be a double edged sword -- so what! -- we can take it!.............can't we???
