For the most part, it seems you have two types of critics; the sincere and the peevish. The sincere critics will always acknowledge the effort that is put into a piece, but will not fawn over it. They will provide worthwhile criticism (e.g. "move the light to the left"). The peevish have issues; their own art probably bites, they may have small winkies, whatever. I look at most criticism in either of these two lights. So peevish criticism rolls off of me like water on a duck, the sincere I try to accept with modesty. Personaly, I don't see how anyone can knock your work, Stefano, it's just great. BTW: Welcome back to the Bryce Forum, you've been too long absent!
