My favorites is littered with Poser images. And everyone of the artists is like you say, prepared to listen and take on board the comments given. They are good because they know there is always something new to learn and they put in the effort to practise and learn. The problem is the ALMOST THERE cliques and their hangers on. A culture of OOOH and AAAAAH surrounds them and they EXPECT nothing less than a pat on the back every time. It has had a trickle down effect to the point where any bit of Poser crap posted get the obligitory cascade of WOW FANTASTIC AMAZING. 

I have seen your work and it is fantastic. At the same time I am prepared to bet you read every thing you can to improve your skills. Most Poser users will never learn anything past the basics to put a picture together, using the items ARTISTS like yourself create for them. It is a culture of buy  clothes, textures, poses, backgrounds and props put them together and get everyone to tell THEM how great they are. 

The powers that be tell me not to poke the Poser users, but most of them just annoy me.
