I dont believe critics should be nice just to get there point across. Thats not thier job. Their job is tell you what you can do to improve your picture. Anyone whos trying to make art more than a hobby knows this. Be prepared for that. But an awful lot of artists here are hobbyists. When you're singing with the radio would you like Simon from American Idol to come in a bash all over you for your technique? Just something to think about.
