The overall praise of everything was the reason I never loaded anything up here. I started uploading pictures when I joined the critique group, because the comments there are helpfull. But the overall tone in the gallery is strange. Everything is "great" "marvelous" etc. I already feel impolite if I do not say "great work" or something like that - but seriously, I would never have said that to your testing image.

But the people do it here that way. Post a picture here, and get praised. On other 3d-communities the standards are much higher. But I think the most people here like it this way.  I only comment pictures from the critique group, because I do not want be a spoiler. "Great picture" here just means "I was here, come to me too".
