My main motivation in postomg my images is to share; in the world of art one can never produce a picture that will please everyone.  I wouildn't object to someone saying something like: "Good composition, but I think it would look better if the lighting was brighter."  I think we all know about the throlls who say things like "it sucks" or give you one star without saying why they don't like the picture.;  Maybe something is not my thing, but I'd never rate an image 1 star or hurt someone's feeling intentionally.  I've seen a lot of technically poor images; but it's a learning curve--I think people improve with time and practice.  When I look back on my early Poser images I sometimes think, I can't believe I posted that--but my pictures got better because I kept doing it.  I don't think it would have been particularly helpful if people just posted negative feedback.  Then there are people who still liked my old pictures better than the newer ones, go fig. I've deleted a lot of old stuff from my galleries because they are not up to my current standards.  Then again, some of the art critics are folks who never have any of their own work in the galleries; if people are wanting to tell me how to do it better, then show me, do a tutorial, but don't criticize if they aren't willing to put their own stuff out there.

Then there are those threads where someone will claim that Poser isn't art, or unless you model everything in your scene it's not art, or if you don't paint and draw with conventional art media it's not really art, and on and on and on.  I just encourage people to be tollerant of other's self expression.  If they ask for critique, then one can give them it without being mean spirited.

We've seemed to have strayed a bit from the main topic. but it's often good to discuss these issues.
