I second Dee-Marie's opinion, Sheila. Your work reflects your personality. It's sensitive, touching and beautiful. You get comments from people who appreciate it. You should really have more faith in yourself, sweetie :))) I have no formal training either but I've learned loads & tons during those 18 months I've spent here just viewing other people's work and reading threads in the forum. You don't need critical comments to learn, really :))) Besides, if you want more 'technical' input you can always post here, the forum seems to be the place where you get more 'meat' in the comments... :D So, keep trying, experimenting, posting and viewing and you will grow! :))) And just to be perfectly clear on this - your photography DOES NOT suck! :))) Hugs, Niu
