"how do you judge if your work is good or not ?" That's a good question. It's all so subjective. One person's masterpiece is another's cow dung. For example, I like flames but I am so tired of them. They all look the same to me, but most everyone else is in love with them. I know, a thousand times over, "do what makes you happy" That's a nice thought but it isn't very practical. If that's all I did I wouldn't need to put my images here for you to look at. I want to know if you like what I do as well as what I like to do (did that make sense?). I look at relative numbers, comparing only to myself. I usually get around 20 comments. If I get a lot more than that, it must be well liked. If I get a lot less, it must not be. That's just my theory. I don't know if it's worth anything. I'm fortunate enough to have a couple of friends who are not afraid to give a negative comment. Take a look at my latest image, there's one there. I take comments like that as a high complement. It means that the person has enough confidence in me to expect better. I may or may not act on that comment because I know it's subjective, but still, at least someone was willing to be tell me what they thought. I'm rambling, sorry.
