Well I suppose if your goal is not to improve.

I thought my first renders were great... I look at them now and laugh because they suck.

I'm glad I had a lot of input from my fellow modelers to help me improve.
I know looking at my current stuff and now I always see room for improvement. I have to get rid of my "lazy-eye-view" and work at improving, push myself through my limitations.
I'm not trying to make "Realistic", I'm trying to improve my work into a "Style".

If you dont do this and be open to others helping you improve by critique, then you might as well re-evaluate the reasons for posting your rendered images.

I think the Critique Gallery would help as long as the critics post how "they" would improve the image, not just post a blurb like "I hate it" or "This sucks".
Critics in this kind of gallery should put in their valuable assistance (use this light, put this object there to improve composition, use this color/camera angle/render setting...) and write up a list of things THEY would do to make the render better. This would help everyone who posts in this catagory as they would expect this kind of input.
