Come on. Look back at your early renders, if you kept them (I did) and you may just cringe a little (I did).

A lot of the gallery posts that some consider "bad" represent some newbie just being so excited and happy to compose, light and render a scene. Oh man, this is so COOL. I figured it out! Gotta show everyone what I did!

I for one don't want to tell that newbie that the render that made them so happy actually sucks to my jaded eye. I want our hobby to keep attracting new participants and growing. How about, if you just can't say a word in praise with  a straight face, say something encouraging like:

"Isn't this fun? The most rewarding thing is how you get better and better, the more you do it. And as you learn the tricks and techniques, look for ways to make your renders distinctive to you. Good luck!"
