I love constructive criticism and dearly wish I received more of it.  There have been times when I've posted something on my gallery and wondered if I should have and then everyone gives me high praise for it and I'm thinking "hmmmm...." hahahahaha!

I don't see anything wrong with the praise, in the sense that it is exactly that which keeps me posting - it boosts my morale enough to want to share more with everyone who looks.  But I have to admit, there have been times when I've felt that what I have posted has indeed had room for a bit of critique!

I received some constructive criticism for the first time the other day and I was so grateful, I sent the guy a site mail thanking him :-)  I'm a total amateur - NEVER had lessons, never learned anything about photography, so I soak any input up like a sponge :-)

I have to admit, though, I struggle to criticize others - but mainly due to the fact that I feel I am such a novice at this, I have no room to speak :-P  So, I just keep quiet...
