I learned a long time ago that this isn't the place for serious critique. Everything, even the most obvious mediocrity, gets "Excellent" or nothing at all. It's like there isn't any other rating. This goes on in all the community galleries on this particular site, but seems more prevelant in the Poser-specific galleries. For example, one time I came upon an image that happened to be in the Poser gallery, and I noticed it had 5 or so comments before me, all high praise and the ubiquitous V at the end of each. Well, I noticed several problems with the pose and the render itself that could have been improved on, so I commented on it (perhaps bluntly, but certainly not rudely) and gave the image a rating of "Good" instead of the common "Excellent". WELL... you'd think I took out a gun and shot the poor chap, because suddenly my IM was filling up with hateful messages, and people telling me "HOW DARE YOU!" and "Let's see you do better" and "You must be blind to think that image is just 'good'." Blah blah blah. Must have been all the guy's posting buddies ganging up on me. lol Anyway, it's one of the reasons I never post my own work here, nor do I comment on an image in the galleries unless it's rather extraordinary. I'll stick to the forums. :-)
