First off I don't have anything posted. However, If/when I decide to post images, it will be primarly for constructive criticism. I do not want to be praised just for the sake of praise. I do not have an ego that tells me how great I am and do not need others attempting to give me one. I have been a photographer for the better part of 30 years and have done cartoon pencil sketching since I was about 15 (that's almost 35 years now). While my photography has been a hobby, not a profession, I have taken classes and done everything from taking the picture to developing and printing. I see alot of very good work here and some that is not so good. I have been hesitant to comment on any of it based on the same reasons that you have stated. It is my opinion that if someone want's to display their work AND ask for opinions then they want honest opinions. However, I have seen many times where people get offended by the criticisim they receive when it it justified. On the other side of the coin, I have seen people tear others work apart just to be mean. This is just as bad IMHO. If everyone were willing to be civil about it then this could be the type of site that everyone would enjoy. Again all of this ranting is just MHO and I think you should pursue your task and see if others will follow suit. Pony
