@JOELGLAINE - 

I haven't received any 'bots about this forum in a while I didn't know it was this active.
That being said, I love the idea of a special WIP gallery and forum for the Crit Group.  To me that makes the most sense since, like you, I hesitate on posting images into the galleries knowing that they're not quite right.

RL has kept me pretty busy lately, what with another surgery for me and then, a week later, one for my daughter-in-law which left me in a cast AND primary caregiver to my grandbabies so I'm totally remiss in my commenting but it's starting to quiet down a bit here and I'll be commenting more.

On that note, I do not and will not expect everyone to comment on my images.  I appreciate the great suggestions and critiques I've gotten so far and, as a lot of you know, have taken them to heart and gone back to rework some of my images.  I'll keep doing that because each suggestion is worth a try.  In return, please do not expect me to comment on all the images that get posted.  Sometimes it's just a matter of personal taste, other times it's that I just don't have the expertise to suggest a fix.  I will never comment on composition unless it's something really glaring because, as so many have said before, this is our art and we do it mostly for ourselves.
