Criticism and Critiques have helped me quite a bit over time. Consider the source of comments. If a experienced artist comments that this or that could be done to an image, review the reponse and act on your own gut instinct. Many have commented on my stuff. Doesn't mean I'm going to change it, just gives me more ideas to work with. Art comes from within YOU. Not the viewer. Do what you want. If comments bother you, then the art is not the issue. Personal insecurity and lack of confidence is the issue.
