hi jtm.

thats what i mean about there being more than one answer.. basically i look at a pic or a mdel and  i either like it or dislike. i never dislike a pic because of where or how it was made.  i have an internal set of standards, likes and dislikes that allow me to judge what i like or dislike.  does that make sense lol. in a nutshell i see with my own eyes.  one thing i don't do is judge a pic because an app cost more or less. sometimes i may judge a pic because it's been done by a novice and like it more than one thats been done by someone with all the skills. often i can see the improvemnets a novice makes and that for me is worth more than knowing what app they used.i like  reading poetry that doesn't have stock phrases and cliche and when i come across one by a novice who realizes what they are and discards their use i'm impressed. the same with 3d art. i'm more impressed withsomeone who discards the presets and takes the thing out of the box in a unique way.jmo
