I could give you hardcore, no holds barred critique - about your entire gallery portfolio. I honestly doubt you'd change your approach.

Why?

What I want out of an image is not the same as what anyone else wants from it. We each have our own expectations from what an image should explain to us.

That is the very same way that the 'hugs' folks would react to my hardcore critique of their uploads.

Are we sure we're not searching for some kind of approval here?

Art is about getting a very very unique message along to someone else. Could be to one single person and no one else gets it.

And what's wrong with 'hugs'?

Hugs aren't allowed in art?
