When I was taking classes in photography, the first thing I learned was to allow the other students to critique our work without getting our undies in a bundle. It was hard, especially if you felt the other students weren't as good as you or were SO much better, but we all dealt with it. Everyone has a valid opinion on a photo or any work of art. It doesn't matter if they like it or not BUT what appeals to them and how they would change it IS important. It helps us keep an open mind. You're not moaning! But, I've been here since 2003 and I gave up mostly because it didn't seem like people were willing to be critiqued. Plus, the people that get the most comments are the ones that make the most stops at other peoples uploads. I asked many people if there was a solution and I received no workable answers. Thanks for listening. Jodie

I kid-proofed my house but they STILL get in!!
