I for one have learned more then conceivable from C&C, as well as this forum. The day I stop getting honest opinions and comments is the day I stop progressing. Such is the case of so many here that have reached their peak and stopped progressing, unfortunately most are somewhere between SHINY SPHERES OVER WATER and NOTHING BUT PRESETS. I was guilty in the beginning... and am still not much further along then that, but thanks to the honest feedback of others, countless hours spent in the forums, and messing around with tutorials, I think I am getting a bit better. I think the solution to the problem is: if someone can't handle honest feedback on their artwork, then they need not allow comments at all. This is really their problem and the rest of us shouldnt have to come up with a way to work around it. Thats just what I think.
